[The Letter M]

Just want to highlight this...

We'll be premiering some songs we've never played live before, as well as featured tracks from our latest self-titled release and plenty of classic DT songs for all of our long time and hard-core fans. We are all looking forward to a great night of music and super-psyched to kick it all off!"

Let the speculation...BEGIN!!!

Also, I'm not passing up the Washington DC show this time around!!!

-Marc.

[Jaffa]

No Arizona date.   

[KevShmev]

No St. Louis date.  Again.  Shocking.

As for songs they've never played before, he was referencing songs not from the new album, and unless I am mistaken, the only songs they've never played before are Space Dye Vest, The Shattered Fortress and The Best of Times, right?  I mean, he could be referring to non-album songs like Raw Dog or several of the FII demo songs, but I doubt it.

[cyberdrummer]

I don't know for sure yet, but I have a feeling there are more dates to come.

[senecadawg2]

How disappointing... Nothing closer than 5 hours away on a Tuesday night. I think I'm going to have to pass on this

[emtee]

Lucky to be near one of the 13 shows in the USA. Seems like a short run. Maybe a summer fall run too?

Well, other than the new album, of course, that only leaves Space Dye Vest, The Shattered Fortress, and The Best of Times, right? I'm thinking the only possible choice is SDV, and maybe TSF.

[senecadawg2]

My first reaction as well.

[Tom Bombadil]

Now I know what to ask santa for. although I wish the Philly show was at the Merion Theater like last time. That place was so cool.

[DarkLord_Lalinc]

YESSS! Mexico City!

Holy crap, they're playing a 20k people venue here. That's sick.

[cyberdrummer]

Holy crap, they're playing a 20k people venue here. That's sick.

That's awesome.

[sfam2112]

Yet again, no love for the Carolinas. I wish they'd come closer than DC/VA. 

[Progmetty]

You're messing with Texas Dee Tee, bad for your health..
Is this really all the NA leg dates? Isn't this much shorter than the Dramatic tour first NA leg?

[lonestar]

San Francisco peeps, Lefty O'Douls again? 

[Mindflux]

This.... I hope they do another leg. No Texas? 

[Podaar]

No Arizona date.   

Or Utah. It looks like we'll need to fly to Denver unless they do another leg in the Summer/Fall.

[The Letter M]

No St. Louis date.  Again.  Shocking.

True, but all of the FII demos (all 5 of them) have been played live before. The only B-side that hasn't been played live is "Don't Look Past Me", which would KILL live but I doubt JLB has the range for it now...unless he's been exercising his voice more. It COULD work...

That really only leaves "The Best Of Times", "The Shattered Fortress", "Raw Dog" and "Space-Dye Vest" as every other studio album song has been played live up to ADTOE. So with only 5 studio songs never before played live, how many of them could they actually pull out and do justice to? Hopefully they're referring to SDV and TSF, but it would be a BIT of a let down if they said "songs we've never played" and only mean 2.

-Marc.

[Fiery Winds]

San Francisco peeps, Lefty O'Douls again? 

[DarkLord_Lalinc]

That's awesome.

I really thought they would never upgrade from the National Auditorium, which holds 9k people (which is a fairly good number, by DT's standards). This is probably going to be their biggest concert from the leg.

[jingle.boy]

Holy crap, they're playing a 20k people venue here. That's sick.

Same with Montreal.  The Bell Centre is the NHL arena where the Canadiens play.  That's huge.  Quebec always has been a much bigger metal market, but that's awesome that they are doing an evening with show at a venue of that size.  Almost makes me want to head up there.

Cool that Toronto is the kickoff.  Can't wait for that!

[Mebert78]

Anyone familiar with Hammerstein Ballroom in NYC?  Is it a seated or standing venue?  Looks like standing, but they also have an option for seating.  Just curious if I need to grab a good seat right away, or sit back and just pick up a GA ticket for whenever.

Standing I think. Check out this video from Coheed's DVD which was filmed there https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EbGCefIB8nY

If I recall correctly, that's where the Gigantour DVD took place. It's awesome that they're upping their game and playing bigger places, at least outside the US.

I just called the venue.  They said the floor is standing.  There are balcony seats along the walls that she called "VIP."  She said there is also balconies toward the back, like a mezzanine area I suppose.   

[Dacling]

I really hope they add more dates because they aren't playing anywhere in the south east at all.

[countoftuscany42]

really, going on sale the same week as the tour announcement? hate when that happens 
also hate that both philly and ny dates are during my spring break week, so the only way i can go is if i skip spring break  :face palm:
oh well, ill figure it out..

[Joshin U]

Not only is there not a SINGLE SHOW IN TEXAS, but the closest one is in Missouri?!     Jesus, DT, I really hope there's more dates coming soon.  I've been waiting for these dates for months and I'd be extremely disappointed if the closest show was on a Wednesday night 10 hours away during the Spring semester. 

[SeRoX]

Well, I don't know what the hell was happened but DT hasn't came to Turkey for 5 years. It's just depressing.

[Nick]

I'll be in Philly for sure, NYC possible.

[Cool Chris]

Balls! No Seattle or Portland!

[JayOctavarium]

There has GOT to be more dates to be announced

[Dacling]

I'm in Florida so absolutely no luck with any of these dates. Why is the tour so short? Nothing about more dates to come or anything.

[Lark the Starless]

Anyone have the LiveNation pre-sale code for the LA show yet?

I'll be on my way to Vegas on Thursday at the time that the pre-sale starts so that's going to be interesting... 

I'll probably have to stop near Barstow or something in order to get decent reception on my phone.
