This thread makes me think of ticket prices in my youth ... Go figure: The first big international act I saw was Santana in 1975, I was 13 and Santana were really BIG back then, and the ticket was 40 ATS (Austrian Schillings). Back then, a regular LP was 162 ATS in Austria, thus the ticket was a quarter of the price of an LP. In 1977, a ticket for Pink Floyd was - if memory serves - 12 DM (Ger

If they are planning on a show in Vienna (or anywhere else in Austria), April would seem too early. Unstable weather and generally too cold for a stadium or outdoor show. Dates from later May onwards would make more sense. No idea about potential football interference in Austria, or other people's tours.

For the moment, I prefer to interpret bv's post as hinting at a possible summer tour in 2026. He doesn't say anything about a tour in support of an album, be it the hoped-for new album or a potential extended B&B. It is clear that we would love to get a new album or an extended B&B. But wishful thinking should not be mistaken for facts. Regarding B&B I simply know nothin

Depends on when (what year) the interview was done. Bill's solo album (Drive My Car) was released in August 2024, that is, ~one and a half months before the interview was published. So, if the interview was done one year before that, say, middle of 2023, he was in fact still working on Drive My Car, and HD with his track on it was not yet released.
