Where's the actual tour date list? Their tour just keeps giving me the 'sign up to be reminded of the presale' selection.

A livestream to announce a tour.

That's not a big announcement. Obviously you're going to tour. That's expected.

A big announcement should be to announce something UN-expected.

I guess I'll be going to the Cincinnati show.

Saw DT on the last tour at the Palace Theater in Greensburg, PA. Great venue, I'll definitely pre-order tickets for this show!

Laughingplace56 · « **Reply #3682 on:** December 17, 2015, 11:11:12 AM »

They're BIG announcement is that they're playing 16 shows in North America, and only covering 11 states and 1 city in Canada. Wow. If this is they're only US tour, I'm going to be even more upset than on DT12's tour skipping half the country.

He's also answering some questions.

People are asking for more interaction from them. Now that they are interacting with fans, you say that the event is not big enough to do a fan interaction.

The dates on their tour page have more dates from Europe, NA, Asia, etc. that are listed after the April/May NA Tour, but have the wrong months in order.

The tour date page skips all over. There are more NA dates at the bottom. Detroit is there. It's not in correct date order.

Those are all past dates, even if they say on sale soon. There's an April 18th show in Riverside listed as onsale soon, but that's the show I saw in 2013. Plus there's already a show in Boston on that day.

The BIG announcement is a PRESALE on the tour? Wow...

Color me overwhelemed

No show in SF?!?! Hoping they add a date between Denver and Portland, or I may have to consider going down to LA.

emtee · « **Reply #3691 on:** December 17, 2015, 11:19:07 AM »

Looks like they updated it now with just NA dates and it looks like 13 US shows.

erwinrafael · « **Reply #3692 on:** December 17, 2015, 11:20:09 AM »

I think it was also used as an avenue for JR to promote his new app, GeoShred.

That's not a very extensive North American tour.

Laughingplace56 · « **Reply #3694 on:** December 17, 2015, 11:21:02 AM »

Would love to find out if these are the ONLY US dates for The Astonishing tour. DT12's touring cycle only saw 1 NA leg that skipped all the markets this leg is skipping. Should we expect to see more dates, or is DT touring in most of the US never going to happen again?

Maybe they are being very selective with the venue if it would fit the concept of the show.

Because it's too much to expect a "Big Announcement With Livestream" to be a big announcement ?

Rather than - something that was obviously going to happen anyway...

I' didn't watch the original announcement, but these US show will be in the format of playing ALL the astonishing album live, with the same stage production that there will be in Europe? Thanks!

He said we'll be hearing the NOMAC sounds on the website (if i interpreted what he said correctly)

I believe so, yes.

Love the Q&A.

JR just said he's the one assigned to do this because he's the one who is most experienced in livestreaming.

Laughed when JR referenced Chile ground shaking.

TGOM lyrics is The Astonishing story in a nutshell.

NOMACS will create bizarre sounds, which JR said HE had fun making.

JR now playing TSCO.

The big announcement is actually that Quebec City, Montreal, and Toronto have all become part of the United States, seeing as they're listed as part of the "US Tour".
Couldn't even say North American instead of US?

Also, once again, Canada is apparently just those three cities.

I don't really feel that the announcement was worth a 30 min livestream.

Yeah, I wonder if I should go to Quebec (the Capitol is a small place) or go to Montreal (Bell Center is a big place, since Jordan said the visual was elaborated from a team in Montreal

4/20!!! Psyched to see them coming back to CT. Had to choose between NY and Boston last year, this is much easier (though no chance of being part of a live release again)

Yeah, but the feedback in the FB post seems to indicate that people who actually watched loved the interaction with JR.
