The Official Book of Souls Tour 2016 Thread (Warning: Spoilers within!)

[Pand]

They've had September 10th for about a week yes, but they postponed it somehow

Maybe this is another clue?

September 10th upside down, replaced by September 14th upside down... they're going to play four songs from Fear of the Dark (their ninth album), backwards?

 

[Brigantium]

Yes, it definitely said Sept 10 originally. Still upside down, though.

 

[RALFPL]

Maybe they want to inform us about the sales figures and world wide chart entries of the new album before they will reveal the tour info? Who knows? ! On the 11th September album charts are going to be compiled - three days later it could be the right moment to set the tour datas on!

 

[SinisterMinisterX]

On the 11th September album charts are going to be compiled

Yes, I think the US chart comes out on the 12th, Friday.

 

[FTB]

Yes, I think the US chart comes out on the 12th, Friday.

Don't get it, what announcing Chart Positions has to do with releasing the Tour Dates.

Like, #1 Album will boost ticket sales?
People will go anyway anyhow

 

[SinisterMinisterX]

If they can get #1, they want a press release that announces so with the tour dates.

 

[RALFPL]

Number One in the USA? Any chances - so same week: The Weeknd (first week 350, 000) Travis Scott debiut anf Five Fingers Death Pounch! IM will be in best case No #4 or 5 in my opinion!

 

[Black Wizard]

That's really annoying.

 

[Naty]

Maybe they postponed it because some dates are still being negotiated?

 

[Brigantium]

I got the impression they were only announcing some of the dates too. Maybe they get to announce more if they hold off for a few days.

Prediction: The first show will be in Seattle, followed by Denver then LA.

 

[Brigantium]

Prediction: first show(s) will be in Australia

 

[Ranko]

It's gonna be somewhere in the Southern hemisphere, that's for sure. The upside-down text, as you said, might be a clue to "down-under", or Australia.

 

[Collin]

Prediction: first show(s) will be in Australia

The website says that the tour kicks off in the U.S.

 

[Brigantium]

Oh. Have they finally changed the Tour pages? It was still 2014 last time I looked

 

[Collin]

I guess they have. About a week ago I looked at the tour section and saw the 2014 dates and thought they were 2016 dates, I quickly posted it here then realized my mistake and deleted it.

 

[Jadukor]

Prediction: first show(s) will be in Australia

Yep thats it. Down under/upside down announcement is a strong hint

 

[Black Wizard]

The first shows announced might be in Australia but the tour might end up starting in North America.

 

[Brigantium]

Collin pointed me in the direction of the announcement and they do say US first

 

[bornless1]

Definitely says U.S first shows. But doesn't it say like only 4/5 shows in the states then off to South America?
I'm predicting first shows west coast: Seattle - San Francisco area- L.A/ Orange County- Phoenix or (fingers crossed) las vega$$!!. Then Mexico and south Am.....
