    Congrats, that looks like a solid tour. Now the question is, will they be promoting a new album or not? Most people say yes, but I'm not so sure...

    Office Can

    Columbiahalle is one of the best and intimate venues I've seen. Go for it!

    Gf was born in Germany and moved here when she was 16. We were planning to do lollapalooza and Oktoberfest. Hoping to change her mind!

    I can't wait to dig into this and see how possible it may be.

    it looks like any given "week" you could hit at least 4 shows.

    That's what I'm thinking. I already know it will be tough to convince the gf to do 3 shows in Germany so hopefully others around here decide to do it as well.

    So which of these venues would be the best? Any insight on the venues themselves?

    Columbiahalle is really small and cozy, Heineken Music Hall is big, imho nothing intimate there, Ergo Arena is big as fuck, multi-purpose arena. Don't know the rest.

    Wow some of these venues are tiny!! Wonder how hard it will be to get tickets.

    Glasgown and Manchester are like 3,500 and 2,500 people each (capacity).

    Thanks. I left that one off because it said Bluesfest.

    So I assume that will be a festival format?

    This is where I'm planning! Don't know anything about the venues over in Europe but the small capacity makes me really want to see them here, it would be an entirely different feel.

    Was planning a trip to Europe after I graduate in May anyway, this just gives me more reason to do so! Very excited

    Is it an indoor arena? Is there a pit or general admission section, or is it all seats?

    I am also looking at Amsterdam, Brussels, Germany or Glasgow/Manchester.

    Would love to do Italy but the dates don't work.

    It's a long shot at this point..... but I have a few months to plan and save..... I really just want to go to Germany and back to Amsterdam.

    The Amsterdam venue is a very plain hall. That's the best way to describe it, one big flat hall.

    They also have "no smoking" signs everywhere, and people around us all said that they throw people out all the time for sparking anything up.

    Also, it's kind of far from the town center. Sorry to see they're playing there again. Lowers my interest in going out of way to see this particular show.
