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

Canadian dates yet to be announced, I guess?

...before flying back to the USA at the end of March for ten more cities covering the USA and, of course, CANADA in the first two weeks of April.

Four (or possibly five, depending on how you read it) Canadian dates to come then.

Can see there being a lot angry American fans. Why no Texas? Why play Tulsa? 9 shows isn't enough, they are doing 7 shows on Oz New Zealand where BoS didn't set the world on fire, both countries combined population is same as Texas. Second show in LA makes 10, should have played a couple more.

Those are some weird places to play.

I'm going to try and get to the NYC show but it's midweek in winter still which won't be easy.

 

[MrKnickerbocker]

I will definitely be at the Chicago gig and most likely the Vegas one, as well.

 

[Collin]

Yay. I'm definitely doing Tacoma. I think I'll try for Vegas too, and If I do Vegas then I won't look at the setlist

Canadian dates yet to be announced, I guess?

Looking at the gaps in those dates, I'm willing to bet you Canadians can be looking at: 4/1 in Montreal, 4/3 in Toronto, 4/8 in Calgary or Edmonton, 4/9 or 4/10 in Vancouver.

Just booked my hotel for Tulsa. I agree with Mr. Creighton that it is odd to skip Texas but I guess they figured Tulsa OK is more centrally located for fans to travel to. I don't care. I will be there!

By the way, earlier someone suggested two different threads for the tour, one with spoilers, one without. Is that going to happen or just stick with this one thread and mark and identify spoilers.

 

[Night Prowler]

I don't think there's a need for two threads before the tour actually starts.

 

[Viperlord]

I find the lack of Maryland and Virginia shows concerning, as I live in the latter. There's not even the usual NJ show, or PA.

Once the tour starts there will be a Spoilers included thread and a NO SPOILERS AT ALL thread.

Looks like I will be in Florida in February ... Nicko's ribs and Maiden ... pretty damn cool.

Excellent

Interesting words from Bruce about why they chose certain cities on the tour:

\m/ VEGAS & DENVER! \m/

I'm not that surprised. The DC area has re-emerged as a viable market for them to play over the last few tours (after we were skipped on a few) but still pales in comparison to NYC which will be a guaranteed sellout and a raucous crowd.

 

[terrell39]

Just taking a tally so far...Vegas has the most members attending (3) (I will be at Tulsa)

 

[terrell39]

As short as the US leg is, it is still longer than the US leg of the AMOLAD tour was (by one city) (both of which skip Texas!)

 

[cyanopsis]

Very few US dates indeed... could it perhaps be because of ol´ Brucie? Maybe they had a much larger scale tour in mind, but they are not sure if Bruce is up for the task?
