Tour Prediction and Speculation Thread [ARCHIVED] Tour • Page 1982

Looks like Morrissey is doing some small room shows.

 

God, I'd have killed to have Real Estate on the Detroit date.

 

Some small room shows

 

yeah these are smaller but not super far off than where he was back in like 2016 (when I saw him last)

 

Michelle is the coolest and I love her but seeing that Yo La Tengo are opening for Japanese Breakfast threw me for a second ngl

 

Looks like Boston Manor have some tours to announce

 

Ghost’s Tobias Forge Thinks Too Many Bands Are Touring at the Same Time - ‘It’s Hurting Everyone’

While I agree there are too many tours at the same time and the market saturation its hurting mostly smaller bands, it's ironic that Ghost says that after having 2 North American and 1 European tours this year.

 

yea but Ghost are a hot act selling out arenas. They are supposed to be touring right now. I just saw Acacia Strain on Friday and they are doing really small venues on this tour because there are so many bands touring “trying to make up for lost time and lost money” as the Acacia Strain put it.

 

if they want to fix the problem, by all means stop touring

 

I mean, I agree. if Ghost have a new album and a good momentum from the last couple of years they have to go for it, but saying "we will tour until 2023 because there are too many tours" when they are on their 3rd tour this year doesnt help the case.

But I understand and agree their point. There are nights where bands with similar fan base have shows the same night in Chicago, and while one is sold out (usually the bigger one), the other have to be moved to smaller venues.

 

limited number of AHC day passes are dropping today at noon est. I'll by trying for saturday night for FIddlehead.

Links arent active yet but:

Friday

Saturday (Day)

Saturday (Night)

 

The one good thing about this is that B & C markets seem to be getting a lot more tours. I've heard of bands getting significantly larger guarantees to play at like Reverb in Reading vs in Philly

 

The over-saturation of tours is an interesting one but ultimately, the stuff that his high demand is like HIGH fucking demand. Used to be you might miss out on a $50 ticket and it'd be going for $180. Now if you miss out on a $110 ticket it's going for $300-400.

 

Ok when is this Counterparts tour going to be announced

 

It's weird that some think there's an overabundance of tours because I don't have a single thing on my schedule for December yet. And that's not even me cutting bands or anything due to budgeting, there just isn't anything coming here that interests me yet and it's weird.

 

It may be true that everyone is touring now, but also touring is how artists and bands make money and what does the Ghost dude expect them to do…not tour and sit at home all day and make no money like during the lockdowns?

 

I also think there might be some trepidation around touring in the winter months, esp around the holidays after last year and omnicron.

 

Still dont understand why they couldnt do their headline tour with Counterparts early this year as it was months before the Rise Against tour

 

I got an alert for a different Senses Fail date. 11/19 at HOB Orlando with Magnolia Park and Can't Swim.

 

I completely missed this, there are two other legs to that Senses Fail tour
