New DT Tour dates

[Ben_Jamin]

I'd guess Tulsa. They get plenty of acts coming through, nowadays.


edit: Yup, Tulsa, 11/12

Sadly, I bet those two off days between then and Arizona. They'll pass on by NM. Or put in a CO date

No one seems to have the time for NM anymore.

Pretty much. But I'm used to it. We don't have much prog fans to generate promotion to play and plus no venues just big enough to bring those middle tier bands.

Too lazy to scan 7 pages, anyone else going to the Newark show? It's easy for me to get there from work, so considering buying a ticket.

Word. I'm probably not getting a ticket until right beforehand to see if any good seats get released at the last minute.

Same, but also for potential cheaper seats.

Alright cool, we should talk closer to the show.

[MasterLomaxus]

So, apparently a Missouri date(s) is coming. 

[Prog Snob]

THEY JUST POSTED THEYRE COMING TO OKLAHOMA!!! Holy crap!!!

I'm going to be hitting up the Capitol Theatre show in NY. Do I want VIP Platform seats, or do I want front row balcony?

Can't remember whether you saw them the first time through.  If you haven't seen this show yet, I'd do the balcony.  If given the choice, I generally prefer being closer.  But this stage setup is something that, IMO, is best experienced if you are a bit farther back and can take in the whole thing.  ...unless, of course, you've already done that at a prior show, in which case I would try to get close up.

I've seen it twice so far 

Both appear to be about the same distance away from the stage. The VIP section is elevated behind the sound booth, but it has more leg room and a booze server. I could get front row balcony for $20 a ticket less. Even though I've seen it already, I'd prefer to be further away. This show is great from a slight distance. It's like going to see the Trans Siberian Orchestra. Sitting up close means missing all the awesome visuals.

I was just looking at tix for that show, as well, thinking about going with the balcony.  Would rather do the 2 hour drive on a Saturday and the 1 hour to Mass on a Tuesday.

Even though I've already seen The Astonishing twice in Los Angeles, I'm going to Anaheim simply for to encourage this second circuit.  DT canvases Europe in two legs every tour, but don't always do two US legs.  Have to continue to let the band know that it will ALWAYS be worth booking multiple shows in the Los Angeles area.

When they first announced this leg, I had the same mindset. I saw them in Cincinnati and the second night in Los Angeles. But following the announcements of the Toledo and Lakewood shows here in Ohio where I live, I'll make the trip to one of those shows because I genuinely want to see the show again.

Bought tickets to the show at the Capitol Theatre 


SEC Balcony Center A-F   ROW A   SEAT 111

[El Barto]

Dallas is getting a show, and as expected it's the 6,400 seat Verizon. Makes no sense to me, but whatever.

If Houston gets a show it'll either be the 8th or the 10th. That southern leg is filling in.

[MasterLomaxus]

Looks like St. Louis finally got a show.  It's about damn time.

[bluehaze]

Wasn't there a North Carolina show??? It looks like it was removed. Also, still no other shows in Florida aside from Orlando...

[Setlist Scotty]

Yup. And the date on Oct. 15th for Rochester, NY was also removed some time ago.

[TAC]

Really? I'm so pissed the Worcester show didn't get that date.

Looks like they changed venues to a new location 2 days later;

OCT 17
Tilles Center for the Performing Arts
Greenvale, NY

It looks like Durham, NC is back up for Nov 27

[As I Am]

It amazes me that they have scheduled so many east coast shows when NONE OF THEM are selling well at all. Looking at NJ, PA, NY........there's way more seats available than seats sold . As a fan, I would have rather seen them hit areas that they didn't get to on the first leg and also missed for awhile and just leave the Northeast to a very few shows. I saw the show at Radio City (again, almost half empty) and while it was a really good concert and show, I have no need to see it again, so I'm passing on this leg, even though I could probably get in for $10 if I wait until the night of the show. SAD.

I hear ya AIA, but don't forget that they wouldn't have booked those shows if the promoters hadn't given them guarantees. So if the money is there, it makes good business sense to take it. Of course, it could hurt them on the next tour when trying to book shows if many of these shows fail to bring in enough of an audience, but I digress.

As it stands, there's still plenty of holes in the current schedule to allow for many other cities to be added, that haven't already - I'd expect that there will be at least one more show added in Texas, and probably shows in Kansas City, Tennessee, Alabama, Mississippi and/or Arkansas during the first part of November. I also wouldn't be surprised to see shows added for San Diego, Las Vegas and Salt Lake City in the middle of November, as well as shows in Virginia or South Carolina, and more than likely two or three more in Florida. I think the only areas that will probably be skipped over will be in the northwest and mountain areas.

Just looked up where Greenvale is, and it's not anywhere near Rochester, so I can't imagine that this show took the place of the Rochester show.

Actually, you don't DIGRESS because that is what has been going through my mind. Yeah sure, they'll get their guarantees NOW, but the promoters will notice the lack of attendance and that "could and probably will" hurt them in the future, no?

I imagine it would. But then again, I can't imagine that DT's management and booking agents are ignorant to not think of that themselves either. It's not like these guys are new at this or simply relatives of the band booking the tours as is the case with some bands. But yeah, not sure if it's a good idea, but I'd have to think the powers-that-be know something we don't. 

[TAC]

I can't believe they have shows in Worcester/Concord/Portland. Seems a bit of overkill.

EDIT: And now Burlington?? What, no Providence?

[bluehaze]

According to Dream Theater's Facebook page Jacksonville is the next city to be added...This slow drip of shows is painful...but I assume if Jacksonville is coming, South Florida will be coming.

[sylvan]

Uggh, I might be selling my Orlando tickets then so I can see them in Jax. No need to drive 2 hours if I don't have to. Never saw this coming. I'm assuming they'll play The Florida Theater, so I can still get my front row balcony seats. I guess this is good news, so whatevs.

[Setlist Scotty]

Ha! I guessed pretty well!

I'd expect that there will be at least one more show added in Texas, and probably shows in Kansas City, Tennessee, Alabama, Mississippi and/or Arkansas during the first part of November.

I think the only areas that will probably be skipped over will be in the northwest and mountain areas.

Not sure when they were added, but there's 4 more dates that have been added to the itinerary:
11/07 Kansas City, MO (Arvest Bank Theatre at The Midland)
11/10 Corpus Christi, TX (Selena Auditorium)
11/18 Temecula, CA (Pechanga Resort and Casino)
11/29 Jacksonville, FL (Florida Theatre)

[El Barto]

This second leg is just one WTF after another. A whole lot of ill-advised decisions. Corpus makes no sense. It's close enough to SA to cover that base, and too far from Houston to get any of those folks. It'll actually lessen sales of the SA gig, or it would if the handful of fans hadn't already blown their money on SA tickets. They won't get more than a handful doing both gigs.  Better still, the dates for the locales are batshit crazy. The KC to Tuscon leg of this tour clocks in at 2814 miles, and it doesn't include Houston. By putting the dates in order they could have knocked that down to 1802, and that was actually factoring in a stop in Houston. How does KC to Corpus and then back to Tulsa and down to Dallas make any sense?

And this for a tour they'll be giving seats away for. I'm starting to think they've hired Max Bialystock as their tour manager.

[Awaken]

The northeast segment makes me scratch my head, as well.  PA to NH, VT, NY, MA, NJ then on to . . .  Maine . . . before heading back down to NY.  It's odd.

Tell me about it. They forgot CT.

[Mosh]

Is this shaping up to be one of their more extensive USA tours?

It's odd they aren't doing something like this with a more career spanning setlists for the cities that haven't seen DT in a long time.
