    I would doubt they will announce the tour prior to the tickets for the stadium shows going on sale. They like the stadium shows to be a big deal travel destination for everyone. Then shortly after we all commit to traveling for these few shows, they will announce the tour (wherever it is) so all the folks still local to the areas will buy for those shows as well. 

    That way, if someone from California sees only shows in SEA, CHI, BOS they will be inclined to go for it. Then 2 weeks later, drop the remainder of their tour plans which may include shows in California, and the person who splurged for the ballpark shows will also most likely go ahead and get tix for the California shows as well.


    This whole sort of "being friendly towards local fans" probably helps to explain their policies about refunding and exchanging tickets. Yes, The scalpers as well.. but throw that into the picture along with their very quick time to enter the lotto... I can see why they do things the way they do.

    I almost like winter shows in Seattle better, because Hotels are crazy expensive in the summer :(  Especially with the day break between shows.

    January 19th I think. That was a spring tour though. 2013's fall tour was announced in July.

    Surely the ballpark shows will be announced in the next couple of weeks. Hard to imagine a fall tour being announced this early. I'm still gonna treat these ballpark shows as the only US shows this year until otherwise notified lol

    Dimitris is posting a lot of pictures about Wrigley and 2018 tour.  I wonder if an announcement is imminent (like the next 5-7 days).

    That sure would be a nice start to the new year.

    Has to be an announcement around Jan 15 or so, I'm guessing there will be a hint in the newsletter on the 10th of some tour dates.

    My official prediction for the dates for the ball parks.

    Aug 9 &11 - Seattle - Safeco Field (Thu/Sat)

    Aug 18 & 20 - Chicago - Wrigley Field (Sat/Mon)

    Sept 1 & 3 - Boston - Fenway Park (Sat/Mon Labour Day Holiday)


    *All hinges on the Boston rumours for Labour day are legit, I think the weekends are correct, nights of shows are guesses based on when each park is available, and the past tour where they played 2 of 3 nights for Fenway/Wrigley.


    Can't wait for 2018!

    I don't see them playing Monday of Labor Day Weekend... that definitely feels like a Fri/Sun...

    Would love an announcement soon
