Quotenoughties No reason for Springsteen to nope out of Europe. In a couple of months... His tour was due to start on April 29, and was to be more a Spring tour than summer, so that early start date probably added to the uncertainty that it happen without any problems.

Quotepodiumboy Vancouver has all events capped at 50% capacity. Stones won’t be playing there. Perhaps they could place a hold for Seattle as a backup to Vancouver, if they don’t feel confident on it going back to 100% by the cutoff date. Seattle was well attended in 2019 and would likely sell well.

I guess there would be 2 options for the US. It could be like MisterDDDD proposes and run in April-May, allowing for later UK dates and possibly some or all of the Europe dates that have been rumored, or it could be a longer US tour that could completely replace Europe and run in the summer months. The rumors Keefy posted is interesting, as it includes Jazzfest in the spring. Could the West Co

I could see the US being plan B, just like it was for 2020, when BV and others had been hearing it was Asia and Australia, then it suddenly changed to the return to the US. They could reschedule Buffalo, Cleveland and Louisville, and I think a lot of the cities played in 2019, and some not played since 2015, would be ready again. They shouldn’t have a lot of difficulty getting NFL stadiums in Jun

I attended 9 shows starting with the LA area shows and going through Hollywood,FL. In that run I only missed Detroit. There wasn’t any drop off in the band’s performances as suggested. While I was disappointed in Austin dropping to 18 songs and Hollywood to 17, those shows were each still at least 2 hours long and were as energetic as the earlier ones I saw.

According to people on Backstreets.com with inside info, Springsteen has cancelled his 2022 tour plans, at least for now, meaning he has let go of the holds he had on venues. Europe was fully booked and was to have been announced on November 29, but was postponed due to Omicron being announced days before then. Europe was to have run from late April to July and US dates after that. These were all

I saw Dr. Fauci on tonight’s NBC News (possibly ABC as I watched them both)stating that children are entering the hospital for things like a broken leg or things like that and they get tested for Covid while being admitted. They end up being counted as a Covid hospital case even though that wasn’t the reason they were admitted. I don’t know if he said most children or not, but the way he said it

QuoteAquamarine QuoteHalup I think Bjornulf’s article about 50-60 vaccinated people getting Covid at the party with 120 in attendance does make one question how well vaccines are preventing infection. Nobody ever claimed Vaccines prevent infection!! Their purpose is to prevent you from becoming very sick or dying if you DO get infected! That’s not exactly correct, at least in the U.S.

Does anyone know if one can park on the residential streets near COTA? Despite what that FAQ states of parking from $30, I’m only seeing $60 (for Lot A) and up to $200 on Ticketmaster.
