I honk arenas are a lot trucker to book than stadiums.

An arena can be filled 300 nights a year   What's an American football arena filled for?  15 dates tops?  Double that if they all host an MLS team like Seattle

So if you have to book an arena a lot sooner you should get promotion and and announcement sooner

Here in Edmonton they are advertising arena concerts one years away. How could anyone book a ticket for 1 year away! Haha.  I can only do that for blue jays games

So perhaps Europe will be stadium shows and they don't need as much notice to book a venue

Just saw one in St. Louis. They wouldn't tease and disappoint St. Louis two tours in a row would they?

Nah. It's about time they had a good ol'fashioned punch-up!

The Canadian cities with confirmed billboards so far are Regina, Winnipeg and Montreal...along with Minneapolis, Buffalo and St. Louis in the States. It's gonna be another stadium tour, this time all across Canada and cities in the states that they missed this summer. Regina has a brand new football stadium and it's been confirmed by a source that GNR are playing the new stadium in Regina in the summer...couldn't get an actual month out of the guy though. But it will be another stadium run and not the rumoured arena tour. A stadium tour across Canada will probably be 8 or 9 shows, plus a few more US shows should put the tour around a month and a half long, which still leaves plenty of time before or after to do a summer European tour as well.

Does anyone recall the timing for when announcements were made for the the summer tour and when teases or billboards popped up? If history repeats itself and they stick with the game plan then that might determine whether it's a spring (march or april) tour vs. a fall tour. I'd guess it would be earlier with the billboards coming. I doubt they'd pay rent for an entire year but who knows.

I think the summer US this year got announced in February- but the timings were probably impacted by whatever arrangement they had with Coachella in terms of exclusivity etc.

The Summer tour was announced on April 1, same day as the Troubadour concert.

Billboards had been popping up in the week before.

Hmm.. no Coachella was announced on Jan 4.

Either the Mexico City or Vegas shows probably.

Just spotted a GNR Welcome to the Jungle billboard off of route 581 in Camp Hill, PA, which is relatively close to Hershey! Saw them in Pittsburgh and Philadelphia over the summer, but Hershey would be ideal for me if the ban is lifted!

Now you are talking!!  Regional advertising for a central PA concert..a little more proof they are not playing little Clipper Stadium..hopefully announcement soon.  I work in Camp Hill part time and drive on 581.  Where is it close to so I can drive past tomorrow and get a photo?  Or you or anyone can beat me to it..just want a photo anyway!!

I've been hearing that the Canadian and most likely American dates will be announced sometime next week...possibly Monday.

I'm guessing those and Europe dates announced Monday, on sale Friday. Ticket sales here in the UK are usually on a Friday.

Sorry I didn't go that way today or I would have snapped a picture. It's on 581 between Lemoyne and Camp Hill......driving towards the Camp Hill exit.

Thanks. So if history repeats itself then we could be getting an official list in a week or so with dates this spring. Of course, all just speculation.

Kentucky for the second time ever? They already cancelled in 2002, it's time to make up for it. I've traveled everywhere, so please come to KY.  It's been 25 years damn it....

Pros and cons of living in Kentucky.  A dollar goes a long way, but if you want to see GNR you gotta travel 

Hope you get your show.
