european tour?

[Naltav]

wow there is a huge gap in those dates. Wonder what is going too come up in there.

We don't know if Aalborg is the last show of the first leg and/or if Reading is the first show of the second leg....

The whole tour, as it's scheduled right now, seems just wierd to me. 13 days(!) before kick off and there's a gap of two and half months from the Aalborg-gig until Reading. If Aalborg is indeed the last show of the first leg, that seems just a tad weak for a band of GNR's status.

No major cities? Berlin, Paris, London, Manchester, Dublin, Prague, Amsterdam, Rome, Barcelona, Madrid, Lisbon etc etc etc ?!  Just seems totally wierd....

Hope they have something up their sleeve. Even if they are working on doing something in more major cities, they're cutting it kinda close if you ask me.... People have prolly planned their summer activities by now.

As Jarmo said above, dates could be added around the current stretch of shows. Also, bands play Reading and Leeds all the time as one-offs and not part of a "tour". The band won't be sitting in Denmark for 2 months waiting for the UK dates.

Adding dates this close to the start of the tour does not sound like a good gameplan. It doesn't matter if you choose to call the Scandinavian and Russian gigs "the first leg of the tour" or not, it's still a bit wierd to me...

Hope everything turns out great though and they really do have a greater plan that still hasn't been rolled out...

european festivals starting next month, businesswise its no good adding big acts last minute.

The gap is long enough to go back home spending time for other things.

Now with the court shit coming, i wouldnt be surprised if the tour gets postponed now

What date start the legal proceedings?

[fieldsy]

why exactly?  Doubt that Axl needs to be at the court throughout the proceedings and may be ask to go in for one day to give evidence.  That's why he has a legal TEAM.

But Jarmo dont you think it is a little strange that there is no more dates after Aalborg?

[jarmo]

Did it stop the South and Central American tour?

But Jarmo dont you think it is a little strange that there is no more dates after Aalborg?

No. 


I'm aware that a lot of European countries aren't listed among those dates, but I wouldn't be surprised if the band is working on adding more dates to this European tour.

Ok, but there is only a month to the last show in Denmark and people need to make travel plans and the ticket sales and son on...

If I remember correct the Euro tour in 2006 was planned 3 or 4 month before...

[jarmo]

I can't make travel plans for others.

IF there's any truth in the reports that there's shows planned in Serbia and Croatia in September, then it looks like there might be more shows in the second half of the summer.

[axl_78]

for me the problem of planning the Euro Tour is the manager Azzof! I have read that he left the band alone

[Gaymo, the Hobbit]

Well, its for sure that those are not all the dates, since the most important european countries are still missing. it worries me though that there's still no word.

[jarmo]

Well, its for sure that those are not all the dates, since the most important european countries are still missing.

What do you mean? There's a show in Finland..

  awesome!   

[superstarmc]

During the last European tour all the dates were annouced gradually.  They were already on tour and adding dates or shall I say confirming dates along the way.  Some of the festivals and uk dates were annouced later on.

/jarmo

No why should you...

But again I think its pretty late to announce a show a only a month before. Maybe its just me.

Just speculating on the tour postponing rumours...

The Helsinki show simply can not be postponed or cancelled "just like that". I'd like to believe the promoter here has made sure of it in the contract or otherwise he will be facing a huge monetary loss. This is not a normal solo gig that can be moved around, and neither is this a big festival thingy where one of the main acts drops out and is replaced by something else, and with the 20+ other acts in the bill it's okay.

This whole Helsinki Live 2010 is built around Guns N' Roses - 90 % of the ticket buyers will want a refund if GNR is not there. There are no other acts (the dankos and the monroes are just filler), and they sure as hell won't find another big name as replacement at this point. The new venue and everything that has been put into this... if GNR is not on stage in Helsinki two weeks from now, there's one less organizer bringing these acts in this country in the future.
