Tour Prediction and Speculation Thread [ARCHIVED] Tour • Page 209

I would think Tegan and Sara is bigger than ATL

 

ATL is definitely bigger

 

Ugh. If this is true I will be so sad. I love me some tegan and Sara and hate ATL.

 

I see no benefit for either of them to tour together honestly. There's little to no crossover between fans

 

It just said "with special guests"

 

Probably an FBR band. Probably Basement

 

Front bottoms?

 

They are featured on one of their new songs.

 

Oh wow I hadn't thought about this. I was assuming it would be a more typical pop punk band all time low normally tours with. Basement or The Front Bottoms would both be amazing.

 

I wouldn't be surprised if Knuckle Puck supported. I heard they had summer US plans.

 

ATL (almost always) has 3 opening bands.
Here is my prediction:
Tegan and Sara
Against The Current
Vinyl Theater

 

Really pulling for TFB or Basement, though the former seems a little too big for the venue sizes they're playing, and it's hard to imagine Basement opening another giant US tour after getting done with the Thursday tour.

If it's a FBR band it'll probably be ATC or Vinyl Theater, as much as it pains me to say. Both of those bands are just so boring to me.

 

What makes you think TFB are too big? They just opened for Brand New on a tour that I assume is a similar size (unless I missed something). I'd be beyond stoked if they did end up on the tour.

 

How do you know what size venues they are playing?

 

I'm going by that Rave date in Milwaukee that leaked, and that venue's cap is 1,500.

 

I would assume they are playing the eagles ballroom, which has a cap of 4,000

 

I didn't really think of that Brand New tour, and that does make sense. I just feel like TFB are at a point where they could do really well in that size of a venue on their own, where no matter what size of a band opens for them on this tour it will sell out. I just think they'll go smaller for supporting bands given the size of the venues. If it was an arena tour like the Future Hearts tour, then I think TFB would make more sense. But who knows? Haha

 

Is that where Brand New played in the fall? That's an insane size for a GA ballroom.

 

Yes. It's also where ATL always plays when they come to the Rave-it's huge

 

God damn, haha. I've never seen a GA club that big before.

 

behold, the Aragon in Chicago (5,000 people)

 

Damn, haha. We don't have venues like that in Michigan, that's for sure. At least none that I can think of.

 

Holy hell. And I thought Starland Ballroom was big.

 

This is semi-unrelated, but what happened with 3OH!3? I know they released their new record on FBR (and from what I understand it tanked), but they're not listed on their website anymore, as either active or alumni.

EDIT: It charted at #170 on the Billboard 200.
