I really doubt that they could fill the San Siro

San Siro capacity is around 80.000. So maybe, they wont fill it. But I still think it would be interesting.

So I'd say, a couple festival gigs + closed arenas + Wuhlheide + San Siro would be fine. :corn: :idea: :geek:

Yeah I am hoping no Glastonbury, however the one saving grace if it is, is that as the tickets are already sold out, they usually don't restrict the bands from playing other UK gigs.

What do you mean by restricting the band by playing other UK gigs??
Are there certain rules where and how many gigs they are allowed to play in one given country :?

There isn't rules as such but some promotors/festivals like to have an 'exclusive' booking. So the band/act will only play at their festival that summer. Reading/Leeds did it with Editors this year - Editors had to wait til after they had played Reading/Leeds before they could officially announce their tour dates for this November. Obviously if the band are willing to do this that's their choice (or how much cash is thrown their way )

No, usually it is within contractual agreements for most big festivals, especially headlining acts that they can't headline anything else or play their own arena/stadium shows within a specified time period so not to affect ticket sales.

Sorry, I see others have answered.

At the San Siro, they can had the stage on the side rather than one end.

Poland and Hungary are in cenral Europe. Communism is over, thank you.

Why sensitive? The sun rises from the east. :shock:

Not sensitive, just accurate.

I come from Poland and I don't particularly like being labeled as an Eastern (read: poor, communist) European. The 80s are long gone my friend. Poland was politically labled as an "Eastern" European country, as it was in the eastern communist block back in a day. Georgaphically, however, Poland is and has been in Central Europe. Poland is a free, democratic country today and I just don't get this "Eastern Europe" stigma.

BTW, I don't want to offend anyone, there is absolutely nothing wrong with Eastern European countries if their geographical location is such. All I'm saying is that Poland is called "Eastern European" for the wrong reasons.

I'm sure that OP meant no harm, as this term is still widely used (unfortunately), but I always seize the opportunity to speak up when I come across this subject, even if it means going off topic (sorry, guys :oops: ).

Yes, sure, this all makes sense what you're saying. I'm just kidding, I just like this thread a lot. Hope there will be a Poland show, next year, then. And hope you can be there. :wave:

I think the thing is that we've been kinda lucky to get the gigs we've had, countries far bigger than ours with far denser populations often get one night, often in a capital city or a festival. It'll be great if they played Glasgow, the new arena looks ace but.. we can't be too greedy

(Besides... it's a feckin trek for me! )

Yes, I'm really hoping for a show in Poland. I live in the US, but I have plans to go to Europe next summer to see a few shows. We'll see what happens.

And I wish that they finally play Russia for you!

uninnocent-

Just yesterday I was thinking that I'd love to visit Scotland and try some great single malts. If PJ were playing there, it'd probably force my hand.

It'd be bollocks for them to announce a show at a festival that's already sold out.

But I don't think it would be as they'd be able to do other gigs of their own too.
Yeah most of us would miss being there, and they'd probably not allow the tv coverage you normally get at Glasto, but at least it provides other opportunities unlike most other big festivals.
