New DT Tour dates

[Darkstarshades]

It looks like DT is dropping a second tour leg! Will you go to any of them?

[cramx3]

Just saw this as well, looks like DT is starting to announce fall US tour dates! 

[mikeyd23]

Whoa, that's awesome!!

[Air Weaver]

I just saw this on facebook and lost my mind. This is close to me. And a Friday, meaning I can take my kids. I didn't take them to the Astonishing in Baltimore since it was a school night.

Can I assume this is not an extension of the Astonishing tour? I like it well enough, but I saw it - and my 9 year old son can sing the entirety of the last two albums before it, as well as many classics. I have been so psyched to take him to a tour where we could possibly hear Illlumination Theory, Along for the Ride, Bridges in the Sky... anything off those albums.

I assume this is likely because they didn't announce an astonishing extension as such yet, and there's not time for a new album to be promoting on this tour, so my true hope here is a tour of the whole catalog, featuring MM era DT. Am I on the right track?

The event just got deleted. Is someone messing with us?

Probably an accidental release of info, since it came from DT's facebook I doubt it was bad info, just bad timing.

That concert start time was listed at 8pm which would suggest an evening with format.  I'm guessing more of just TA honestly.

Where and when was this date?

Where and when was this date?

October 7th in Wilkes-Barre PA

I'll be curious to see how this plays out, whether they will switch it up and play a mix of songs, or present the same show.

Nice. I hope they make it back to Boston. Also hope they switch it up, but I'm pretty sure they'll be playing The Astonishing. I'll be going either way, though. But if they don't come back to Boston it won't be too big a deal unless the setlist is changed.

[OpenYourEyes311]

Video was just posted on the Facebook page with a link pointing to their website tour section. Nothing up on the website yet, but it must be coming soon.

If the band comes to Atlanta and the set list is mixed and not just TA, I will be there.  I would think that MM and JM would be kind of bored with playing just TA.

Would be interesting to do a poll for folks that have not yet seen the TA tour to vote.  TA only or a mixed set.

[cramx3]

Interesting that it says in support of TA and not Presents TA.  Wonder if that has any meaning or not.

[Shadow2222]

The official Tour page was updated with that date only for now. Looking forward to seeing what other dates are announced.

[Chino]

I hope it's The Astonighing in its entirety again, especially if they're filming it.

[Nick]

I got a bandisintown alert for that. I'll be moving would love to visit that theater again, but I'll be moving to a new house either Oct. 1 or Oct. 8, and so either way an Oct. 7 date would be tough. If they are playing TA in full again it'll be easy for me to skip, but if they are doing a normal set I'll want to go more.

[cramx3]

Just realized, given that date/location it's very possible an Oct 8th date in NYC is possible.... which is my sisters wedding  I'm hoping DT does not play that saturday!

Good. Hoping Boston gets the Saturday date then! Missed the first leg.

[cramx3]

Please Boston! 

[Sir GuitarCozmo]

The local radio station is indicating DT is bringing TA to the Hershey Theatre on October 8th.

[As I Am]

[Sir GuitarCozmo]

The Hershey date is like 25 minutes away.  I briefly considered ACTUALLY going, but it's my wife's birthday.  No way I'm subjecting her to this on her birthday. 

[cramx3]

TM has the following:
Oct 19 Newark NJ

Presale is this Wednesday, I think I will likely be there.

[cfmoran13]

Wow!  NJ PAC, the week before my birthday.  Pretty cool!  Gonna have to check this out.  AmEx presale is Wednesday.  Another presale is Thursday.  General sale is Friday.  Wonder how to get in on Thursday's presale.

1st Nov
   
Riverside Theater

Milwaukee, WI

[OpenYourEyes311]

looks like, so far, these are all places they have yet to play on this tour. I like that; there could be hope for the south!

[mikeyd23]

Might consider making the drive to the Hershey show.... Probably only 3 or 4 hours from me.

[CharlesPL]

Oct22
   
The Capitol Theatre

Port Chester, NY

[Another_Won]

Wow, Indy!  They've only played here once and that was back in '93.  I may have to go again.  Now I am hoping for a different setlist.

[Shadow2222]

Hoping that they fit Columbus, Ohio in there somewhere. I'm sick of driving to Cleveland or Cincy 

[As I Am]

I am hoping for a different setlist.

Better hope for something else.

yeah, I know . . .
