Oh, no! Are you saying we'll all have to fly to Melbourne again, like in 2002?

Perth has a great new venue the Perth Arena which has attracted many big name acts who in the past would miss Perth out completely like The Rolling Stones. I am sure that other major cities such as Adelaide and Brisbane have great venues for a Paul show as well as the usual Melbourne and Sydney spots. Any news or links at all to do with the possibility of a tour please please share on this post

Well, here's a fun game to pass the time. At which venue would we all like to see Paul if (fingers eternally crossed) he does come here. I'm from Melbourne and the obvious one is Rod Laver Arena and there's always the MCG for a stadium. Of course he played Festival Hall with The Beatles in '64 (which Ringo came back to a couple of years ago) and Sidney Meyer Music Bowl with Wings in '75 but I reckon they'd be way too small for him these days.

Good question... If he comes to Brisbane, I'm sure it would be either the Brisbane Entertainment Centre (where the Stones played in 2014 and 2003) or Suncorp Stadium (formerly Lang Park).

Rod Laver Arena. Don't discount AAMI Stadium. Springsteen and the Foo's played there.

What was that one's old name? Rod Laver was Telstra Dome, I think which would make AAMI Etihad?
-
AAMI stadium is a relatively new purpose built stadium for soccer. ETIHAD was formerly Telstra Dome or Colonial stadium. ROD LAVER ARENA was formerly Tennis Centre. 3 seperate venues. As far as a stadium venue goes, AAMI would be best. It's relatively intimate. Nothing like an MCG situation. Of course the dream venue is the Rod Laver Arena.

Oh, is AAMI stadium the one near Richmond that actually looks like it's made out of soccer balls? I think I've got a handle on it now. It's hard to keep track of all these name changes.

Yep that's AAMI, with the weird roof on the left side of the tracks as you head into the city.

Apparently, Richard Wilkins said on the Today show that Paul's people are in Australia talking to promoters. (This was mentioned on another forum.) Sounds promising!
-
when did dicko say this? also i am sure that promoters have been in talks off and on for years but remain as hopeful as ever, the aussie public dont need to be teased again if they fail to arrive at an outcome

I didn't see the show myself so I'm not sure what day it was broadcast, but I believe it was in the last few days. I too am sure that there have been talks at various points since 2002, but are you aware of any previous talks held on Australian soil? And are you aware a previous time when Paul's people have inspected venues across the country? I haven't heard of either of those things happening here previously, so I think there's more reason than ever to be hopeful.

Well, hopefully we "Won't Get Fooled Again". Wait, wrong band. Dammit.

I was just watching the Norman Gunston interview when Wings were out in '75 and came across this comment on the video: "I was born on the night that Wings were playing here in Melbourne, my parents said that you could here them from the hospital room...... perhaps this is why I am a fan .... it was my very first introduction to music." I don't know why but it struck me as very magical. And if any overseas chaps haven't seen it, it's a hoot. I've always wondered whether Paul & Linda knew it was comedy.
