Look for 4 Canadian dates in the Fall:

Vancouver
Edmonton
Winnipeg
and Toronto

all shows will be arena shows from what I hear!

Taz, I hope you are right. They missed Vancouver the past 2 tours.

George.....I'm pretty sure of these Cities....they come on good authority! As noted, the 3 western Cities have been missed on some previous tours and they wish to play them one last time, atleast that is what I have heard!

I prefer them being in Europe between oct 10th and the 20th

I can picture it now. Mick flying over the stage suspended by fishing line, playing the flute like Kathy Rigby. About 120-pound test would do. Ted Nugent would open the show, then join Keith later for the deer killing. They could call it the Kill It & Grill It Tour.

I beg to disagree very strongly. They are our boys after all and citing the Station Hotel is hardly relevant now, let alone comparable. Even if it were, how many of today's fans were able to see them then?!! Comparatively speaking, on recent tours they have played - or will be playing - minimally in UK v. US, as Gazza's figures clearly show. If other shows are to be scheduled, UK should be graced with another couple at least. And when and if the end comes, that's where it should be - i.e., where they started. And IMHO Theatre Royal wasn't a warm-up for this tour at all. The (mini) warm-up was in NY, followed by a bigger warm-up in Toronto.

Montrealsuperfan,
Yes, let's hope for another Las Vegas show, shall we?
Surrealistic, say more? Very good in March. Were you
at Zuri's at all?

Bjornulf,

When will these shows be added to the Bigger Bang "rumoured show" list?

Buffalo will close the tour.

Please note that my comment on English fans was using something called irony. Please do not get upset.

And please note that the list of cities I made is just examples, nothing solid at all, similar to the cities they intended to come back to for the end of the Licks tour, but they had to cancel all of that because of the rescheduling in Europe, Hong Kong etc.

Thanks for that, because your comment WAS potentially upsetting to be honest. It's all very well speaking about the Station Hotel, which is incidentally 3 miles from where I lived as a child, but I personally was 8 years old when they used to play there on a regular basis - so exactly how much advantage of that could I have taken ? NONE whatsoever. I think at the end of the day they're snookered whichever way they go and whatever they do, because the bottom line is that they remain hugely loved, hugely popular, and people can't enough of them. If the States gets more of them in the fall, good luck to the States. By the time they finish up at Cardiff on 29th August I will have seen them thirteen times on this tour, 5 shows in Europe, five in the UK, three in the States. I had fantastic seats in the States shows, have great seats for the UK shows, not too bad for the European ones, and I will have achieved a lifetime ambition - which was to see them at MSG. Si I really shouldn't complain. But, is that enough for me ? Sadly, no of course not ! I could EASILY absorb more ......... and more ........... and more ......... and so it goes ! And THAT's the trouble, we can't bear the thought of a world without them.

that sounds cool, but keep in mind that your chances of getting tickets go waaayyyy down.

..plus if they wait until after May to announce any, you'll have to pay $100 to renew your membership!
