Do LP really think that their tour with ~20-25 shows will be sold out after a few hours if almost half of the tickets for 3 UK shows after 3 years are able to buy

 

They never sold out a normal show in the USA in a few hours

Agreed, I think that they're taking themselves way too seriously.

But then again, so am I by projecting tour dates.

Just a shot at it! Nothing else. But I think it has some roots in plausibility, certainly open to suggestions. We've been working on it for a little while. Thanks for the feedback.

One of my good friends took a shot at predicting the routing for this tour, based on previous ones and dates that are already booked up:

8/8 West Palm Beach, FL - Perfect Vodka Amphitheater (Production Rehearsal)

8/9 West Palm Beach, FL - Perfect Vodka Amphitheater

8/10 Tampa, FL - Midflorida Credit Amphitheater

8/11 Charlotte, NC - PNC Music Pavilion

8/12 Bristow, VA - Jiffy Lube Live

8/14 Camden, NJ - BB&T Pavilion

8/15 Holmdel, NJ - PNC Bank Arts Center

8/17 Wantagh, NY - Northwell Health at Jones Beach Theater

8/18 Mansfield, MA - Xfinity Center

8/19 Darien Lake, NY - Darien Lake Amphitheater

8/20 Toronto, CN - Air Canada Center

8/21 Montreal, CN - Parc Jean-Drapeau

8/23 Clarkston, MI - DTE Energy Music Theater

8/24 Tinley Park, IL - Tinley Park Amphitheatre

8/25 St. Paul, MN - Minnesota State Fair Grandstand

8/26 Winnipeg, CN - MTS Centre

8/28 Dallas, TX - Starplex Pavilion

8/29 Woodlands, TX - Cynthia Woods Mitchell Pavilion

8/30 Englewood, CO - Fiddler's Green Amphitheatre

8/31 Phoenix, AZ - Talking Stick Resort Arena

9/1 Los Angeles, CA - Hollywood Bowl

9/2 Chula Vista, CA - Mattress Firm Amphitheater

9/4 Wheatland, CA - Toyota Amphitheatre

9/5 Concord, CA - Concord Pavilion

9/8 Quincy, WA - The Gorge

Keep in mind that this is making a decent amount of assumptions and has less than the usual days off, but I don't think it could be too far from reality.

Blink is playing Vegas 9/22, so one more location we can cross off the list and another indicator the tour with LP would be potentially very short

Why would LP do a short tour with Blink? US did not have a proper tour since 2014. It is time for LP to do a large US tour. You can proof me wrong but that does not make any sense for me.

I think the issue here is that Blink's dates don't seem to allow for a large tour window. Seems to me like the US dates might get broken into small amphitheater run (a la Honda Civic) and then a winter arena tour to hit the remaining markets.

I'm also working on a doc to see what venues they might hit and when. PM me if you want to look/add to it.

Took me a min to remember my login.

FWIW, that radio site pulled "Heavy" from the singles release list in the last hour.

I doubt this, mainly because I don't think the band wants to do another cross-country summer tour. Also, because I don't think they exactly are the typical Mayhem band. That being said, we've seen far crazier things happen.

It's a work. They don't want to tour.

What? That's such an asinine thing to say. This is real life, not pro wrestling.

If they didn't want to tour, they wouldn't have set up this tour. The logistics, costs, efforts in planning, crew required, etc took a ton of time and money. They could've simply avoided that by not touring. Of course the band wanted to play these shows.

This isn't what's really important right now, but the wording of the press release makes me think this is it for the US in this cycle, outside of the festival dates.

Fuck it I'll go to this one.

Really? I'm excited to work the booth with you again.

I can't wait for it to be Indiana.

I don't know why this cracked me up, but it did.

 

Backstage M&G Package; $425.

 

Regular M&G Package: $300.

Thanks boss.

Meet and greet packages aren't available for Atlantic City or Calgary. Wonder if those could be potential Summit locations? There's a day off before AC but not one before Calgary.

Got the Backstage M&G package for Hershey. Shit is gonna be GREAT.

How much did those run you, if you don't mind me asking?

This is the one I've been waiting for. With a lot of effort and moving things around, I was able to pull off 5 shows this summer. I'll probably do less shows this time around because arena shows end up being farther from each other IMO, but getting to the shows should take little effort with a lot of free time.

Also DC101 has been playing a lot of LP leading up to their "Big Announcement" at 2:10. One can hope something will come out of it. Probably not though. EDIT: Nope it's Foo Fighters playing a club show.

Idk. $15 seems excessive and I won't be paying to watch it. On the other hand, I'd honestly say we are pretty spoiled in terms of live webcasts, and we know that this is going to wind up somewhere free to watch a day or two after it airs.

I was completely satisfied with how the show went. Honestly, that was the best show I've ever been to. Linkin Park was on their game tonight and they sounded perfect. Guilty All The Same had a little fault with the tempo but other than that it was flawless. Jiffy Lube Live is the best venue I've ever been to as well.

Top venue, great crowd, and the band really brought it. I don't think I've ever been at a show where I've seen Mike and Chester having so much fun.

Come by the mfr booth and say hey!

 

I guess set b again at this show. Maybe they'll get it all right without so many fuckups. I really wish there was a set c.

Hoping for set B or set C tonight, I'll definitely come by the booth to see you guys!

Always wanted to see a show at Jones Beach. This will be my first.

This will be my first time even being in Massachusetts. I'm excited to check out the venue.

Great concert here in 2012! I'm hoping for a similar experience here again this year.

4th time seeing the band at this venue (probably the venue closest to me).

Going! Gonna be my first show at this venue.

some songs actually needed a guitar solo before hunting party but instead it's being replaced by electronics (eg.WFTE)

 

whenever I hear this song live I laugh my ass off , I mean the synth part after the second bridge is clearly obvious yet brad manages to play random notes as if he's doing a solo or something , samething with BTH i see brad's playing guitar but i could hear nothing

 

I'm pretty sure this is actually a guitar solo both live and in studio. IIRC, Mike even did a video showing off the pedal (Electro-Harmonix HOG?) the used to do it.

The best part about living on the East Coast is getting to go to cool shows like this-oh wait...

I'm so salty right now.

Band isn't using amps for guitars at all anymore (or pedals for effects for that matter), everything's coming from Fractal Audio Axe-FX II's for both Brad and Mike. Looks like Mike just happens to have a single Mesa/Boogie 2x12 cabinet on stage for something he can get up close to for feedback.

Pardon my ignorance, but does that mean they are just using high end amp modeling for guitars?
