The TRUE Dick Brucinson
Self explanatory. Please answer only if you plan to see them on this tour.
To those who will see the upcoming tour: Will you check the setlist beforehand or will you be surprised?

I'll see them in Paris, a full 4 weeks after the start of the tour. I doubt the world would let me go unspoiled for that long. Plus I get a kick from following along on the first night.
Part of me wishes for an unspoiled new tour but I feels too hard. Maybe I'll try next time.

I think I will find it out without actively searching for it. Don't even need to come here if Infinite Dreams ends up being played. I get more or less 80-90% of the setlist spoiled anyway from concert uploaders on YouTube being delivered to my front page from algorithms.

Yes: put simply, if there are positive setlist changes I'll go to more shows.
The supply of tickets is relatively vast for the mainly non sold out shows outside the USA. So it is much easier to make last-minute decisions to see shows this year.
Conversely, if the set list is identical to 2025, then 1 or 2 shows this year is sufficient for me.

I have the feeling that the setlist will not be overall the same as last year, just as stated by many people. To me it doesn't seem to make a lot of sense doing the same tour kinda twice. Even if they play some countries this years that they haven't visited last year. By surprising us all with TFP in 2023, they raised the bar by themselves, and more than that, the announced gap year of 2027 hints that there should be interesting changes. I'm sure they don't wanna be recalled as "the lazy band" in terms of their setlist when coming back from the break. That's why I think a good third of the songs from 2025 will be swapped this year. Also, IMHO, the total absence of a new album kinda forces them to set at least some interesting acents in terms of the songs they choose to play live. No new album PLUS basically the same setlist would label them being kinda lazy, and I guess that's not what they want.
And one more point: If they are planning to record #18 (IF!), then they should have a strong interest in getting Simon into the band as effectively as possible - and the best way to do that is through a diverse range of songs.
