    I said they won't be back... to London and Berlin. I didn't say anything about a tour read back . But that's just an opinion relax mate

    I'm surprised Claxton hasn't called you a prick yet.

    I'd highly doubt they come back, just trying to appease fans. Maybe they chuck in Italy and Netherlands or try to milk some festivals but would be odd to do a 2nd euro leg as they have stated they are old now.

    When there is no new record I do think the tour schedule is driven by the festivals. Those are big paydays.

    @seanclax has blurted it out on several instances like stone-cold known facts, so he should know the specifics I guess. 
    Dunno why you would name me. But I guess your a childish prick.
    I think I mentioned it once and it was a consensus of a group discussion that you clearly wernt part of.
    Wind your neck in

    Hey man, just ignore that Spiritual Chaos person. He just lives on here to argue with people and  complain. Don’t let him get to you. Just mute him.  The board would be better if we just ignored his posts. 
    You are way too obsessed. Creepy stuff.
    You keep proving our point. Time to log off for a bit and go outside .
    I thought you muted him 😉
     I may be the minority but I find SC highly entertaining! Then again I‘ve met him in person and he’s good company (hope I‘m not ruining your reputation E 😉)
    I think he lives on here 24/7 and just complains and argues with people. Multiple people have posted complaining about this guy. I find him the opposite of what you said. I would say more but I’ll get my post erased. A few people on here dominate this forum and just complain and have ruined this place with their entitled comments. I mute him so I don’t say something true plus I’m not a keyboard warrior that picks fights with people on the internet. So I choose to ignore him. You asked so I told. Let the complaining continue. 
    I didn’t ask anything 😉😉

    Only just saw it and posted in another thread.
    my view is if it was definitely off the cards Jeff wouldn’t have said it. So to me that means there’s a chance and I’ll cling to it.
    to me there’s a difference between Ed saying it in the heat of the moment to a crowd he’s trying to win over, vs a post you have thought out
    Absolutely no harm in hoping at all. 

    Theres definitely a reason to be positive given Jeff's post, if might be nothing, but at least its there to be interpreted however we will

    Ive always been a glass half full kind of guy....so I'll be clinging to it too.

    I want to hope but I’m not putting too much faith into his Instagram statement. I‘d love to be wrong though :) Maybe doing smaller tours on each continent so they could spread it out over two years was always the plan this time?! 🤞🏻

    I just saw that extra bit of sparkle and buzz when they played the new music this tour........they seemed really into it. 

    In my mind a record as good as DM has to get toured plenty......Its such a phenomenal record

    I’m hopeful. In reality this ended up being just an Iberian tour and it missed core markets of London and Germany. Ignoring all the issues with a Spurs show, late announcement and the nose bleeds being priced the same as GA (all of which they will have learnt from), shows in London and Berlin (and Amsterdam etc) will be a sell out. We need to remember that most fans do not travel and they have a high number of fans who will have not seen them this year due to the cancellations. I’m sure they are looking at it, whether it happens though is  another question

    So far, I haven't heard much discussion about the downsized venue in Barcelona. Nor have I taken part in any discussion about it. So this is my first and only ride on this horse and also my last.

    I agree!!! Plus I missed this tour entirely so it would be amazing to get another shot

    Might be less and less played for every tour, but DM will stick around on the setlist untill the next studio album.

    I hope they can make it back to London, Berlin, and anywhere else they want to play. 
    The prices won't be a shock (hopefully) next time and we've time to try and put money aside in readiness, should we choose to do so. 

    Also, on the amount of times they've been to Europe, lets not forget they seemingly had a tour ready to sell in December 2015 before it was pulled at the very last minute.
    The secret to a happy ending is knowing when to roll the credits

    Yep. They’ve basically been over here at least every two years apart from the anomalies - 2016 (which I seem to remember someone saying was due to the Bataclan incident) and 2020 due to Covid. Understand the long gap from 2000 to 2006 was due to the after effects of Roskilde.

    Night 2 was killer though.
    The empty seats didn't affect the show.
    Was funny to see though

    They also had plans in 2004/5 for Europe. They had a section called rumor pit on the site and they promised that euro fans can so some ”early rejoicing” when it comes to their tour plans
