Just a little bit  :lol

I would be as excited as you are if they announced a concert here in Peru, but they've only played here once ans I wasn't able to attend, so I have never seen a DT concert in my life  :'(

Happy for you, are you near Quezon City?  I have friends in Pasay City, an hour or so away.  I think one of them will try to make the show.

Another update. Apparently now we have to go to Bandintown.com to get updates.

For the love of God, just announce them. This is horrible. Even commenters on Facebook are getting mad

Someone needs to tell them, this isn't building hype. It's pissing people off. It would have built hype if they announced it in December when they initially said the dates would be announced. This all building up for a small US tour where they don't hit many cities and have about 10 dates in the New York area. That's what I feel is going to happen

I remember this happening before announcing the first leg of ADTOE tour.

Today is indeed the 25th anniversary of the release of I&W. It'd make sense for the dates to be announced today. I'm not holding my breath for that though... :huh:

Yea I already saw one new post for NA soon today so I doubt it. 

I really think DT has some of the worst social media presence for a band of their size.  For awhile there seemed to be none, but now whoever is running it does a poor job IMO.

I agree with you guys.  I am not bothered by having to wait since I am a patient person, but the constant "the dates are coming soon" announcements show that whoever handles their FB page does a really piss poor job.

I guess I wouldn't care as much, but why did they post anything back in December. It makes no sense, if Bosk knew anything as to why, then my stance would change. But there's nothing special about this tour, as far as we know. And it's probably not going to be a very long tour. I don't think I've ever seen a band say that a tour will be announced 6 months from when they will be announced

It's when something like this happens that I think: This would never have happened with MP.

I think at least some of the reasoning is that a lot of fans were pissed last tour where the dates trickled out so people bought tickets for shows further away from them and then later a concert was announced closer to them.  I think there has to be more to it than that though but I bet that's what's holding up the current announcement.  As for the first announcement back in December... I have no idea.

Also, they did say the tour would be from October through December so it doesn't seem like a small tour, but maybe it ends up being the end of October to the beginning of December with a few November dates  :lol

Not a chance in hell they consider that. Nothing I've seen suggests to me that level of thoughtfulness. Quite the contrary, in fact.

I wouldn't put it past them. The Astonishing US 2nd Leg seemed to be like that

I would say that they are going to announce them once they've posted a picture of all the band members, but they've already posted two pictures of Petrucci with the stupid announcement of tour dates soon

WHAT?!?!?! DT is better than ever!!! Mike Portnoy WHO!?!?!?!?! How DARE you say that here!!!!!  :rollin
As a basic rule, if you hate it, you must solely blame Portnoy. If it's good, then you must downplay MP's contribution to the band as not being important anyway, or claim he's just lying. It's the DTF way.

This took longer when they announced the ADTOE tour dates were "coming soon", we had lots of fun with that back then, I can't be the only one that remembers that? Anybody remember the comic/meme created about it?

The one they posted today is putting people over the edge.

I know the guys are pretty disconnected from this stuff, but it seems to be doing more harm than good right now. Regardless, the tickets will sell, but people are tuning out right now

Nah, the second Petrucci pic was about linking to the bandsintown website. :p

So you guys just have to wait for that Mike Mangini pic, then maybe a band pic. The dates will be out by the end of the week.  :lol

Meanwhile, I am eagerly obsessing about the start of the sale of tickets here in Manila this coming Saturday.  :metal

Not that I am complaining as I have been hanging out for a tour since they last toured our shored in 2014, but it is interesting timing MP announces an OZ tour for November, now we have DT in September! Yippeee  :angel:

Is DT really charging $162 ($123 US) for a ticket? I get that a lot of that is TM's TT&L, but even $100/ea seems to be well above their station. Is that normal way the hell down there or are DT becoming greedy in their old age?

I'm thinking that may be a VIP ticket? I paid 150.00 on the Octavarium tour to have a guaranteed ticket in the first 3 rows. Of coarse, I got 3rd row.

I paid $250 for the 8th row at RCMH (filming), and that was just for the show. No M&G or anything. If DT did stuff on stage, paying $100+ for a ticket might be worth it to me, but they all kind of just stand there with the exception of a keytar solo. I don't mind sitting further away and just watching.

It's possible they took a hit on the second run of TA in the states and need to play catch up.
