    Does it Look Like a Tour?

    So, i was looking at all the dates we've all been finding through Pollstar and other random sources, and when you take a look at the string of potential dates, it is starting to look like Tour is shaping up for late summer/early fall....maybe.

    I know none of these are confirmed and official except Molson and Gander, but check this out:

    Toronto 7/12

    Gander 8/2

    Akron 8/16

    Philly 8/17

    Wolftrap 8/22

    Albany 9/20

    ....and there is plenty of room to add plenty more shows in between...I hope they aren't all back east, however...there needs to be something a little further west...like Colorado ....and something a bit further East...like Halifax...of course! Wink

    The perfect accompniment to the Akron show would be Columbus at the LC Pavillion, which has both indoor and outdoor stages. (this is Ohio. If you don't like the weather, wait 5 minutes. If you DO like the weather, wait 5 minutes). The Southern Theater is a lovely venue but, shall we say, they do seem to have a stick inserted up their backsides there.

    The Irishfest near Albany is under the impression it's confirmed. Is there something we should be worried about?

    I think as far as this website goes, it's not confirmed, but you already got your tickets so I'm thinking it's a done deal!  Big Smile

    Yes Helen, western dates sound great, its been too long since the b'ys have been here in Boise.   We really need our GBS fix. Summer is great out west.  Idaho and Colorado are beMusicautiful in the Summer.

    Subtle hint, boys: NYC and Connecticut are lovely places in the summer months...oh, yeah, and of course, Halifax... Cheers, Kati

    Bet,

    Yes, I am a member so I got advanced notice of ticket sales.  If I can find out when the public sale starts, I'll let you know.  Their website is wolftrap.org.

    Thanks!  I was actually kicking around joining, but it doesn't make sense for just one show.  I hope the tickets go on sale soon!

    Re: Does it Look Like a Tour?

    I've never really used Pollstar before... how accurate do they tend to be with their listings?

    Trying to plan my summer trip down to philly and will push the date back to August if the boys will be there then, but when I asked directly, they said nothing is confirmed yet and to keep checking back with this site... but nothing's been updated.

    hmmm.

    Toronto 7/12

    Gander 8/2

     Akron 8/16

     Philly 8/17

    Wolftrap 8/22

    Chicago 9/13  *new, alleged show*

    Albany 9/20

     

    keep those Pollstar reports coming!  I've added Chicago to the list...it looks more and more like a tour, doesn't it?

    Re: Does it Look Like a Tour?

    So when would the Minneapolis show fit in?  Friday  9/12 maybe or Thursday 9/11?  I am guessing no state fair this year (bummer).  But maybe one of the summer festivals, aquatennial or ribfest?  I will be out of town in of july to mid auguast so minneapolis in September works for me.  Or they could do NC end of July or So.Cal mid august.  But I think the minneapolis show is muchmore of a sure thing then either one of those places!!!

    Re: Does it Look Like a Tour?

    With my luck, they'll play Halifax Sept 27.  When I'm in Ontario, at a wedding. 

    Attention Tour Manager type person!  Please do NOT book a show or shows in or near Halifax on or around Sept 27.  Thank you!
