The Rolling Stones will take between 3 and 4 Million Dollars for each show in Argentina next year. I wonder if they make the same in Europe?
They either make the same or think it is OK to make not as much but still perform. I find it hard to believe Europe can't generate a healthy payment for acts like McCartney, the Stones, U2, and Springsteen.
Dunno, but tickets for Macca concerts there were notoriously cheaper in Europe than in the US or SA.
That's not fair. New Mexico is in the US but has a third world economy!

My friend who works in the industry is saying Australia possibly in early 2015. Have heard the same from other sources on the board.
Is there a month in mind as yet? Have heard our mate Moptops mention 2015 as a possibility too.
I was told February/March but Paul doesn't tour in February, usually. Probably will happen in March. But then again, he hasn't toured in September and October since 2005! And look what we have now!
True hey! Wow thats real interesting - especially that you said "probably will happen" (
) haha. Thanks for the response!!
Hey man-- meant probably will happen (if it were to happen) in March. Don't know if it will, I know no more than you do.
I got that haha! Those smileys were to indicate that I wasn't being serious. Thanks again!

I think Springsteen does just fine in Europe. He toured there in 2012 and returned in 2013, both tours were pretty extensive. And he didn't tour the US at all in 2013.

Too bad the Asian shows have not been rescheduled. Maybe he is trying to negotiate them along with Australia for next March? It would be more practical to do all those countries at once. And wherever he decides to play in november, he will probably take at least the first two weeks off, which is what he's been doing since April: a couple of weeks on the road, followed by a couple more to rest. The last US show will be on october 30, so I would not expect any concerts before november 15. If fact, I have just noticed that all of his 2014 tour legs were planned to begin on a Saturday: Montevideo on April 19, Tokyo on May 17 (cancelled), Lubbock on June 14 (cancelled), Albany on July 05 and Minneapolis on August 02. If the Lubbock show had not been rescheduled, the October leg would also begin on a Saturday, in New Orleans, on the 11th. Based on that, we can speculate that the next leg will begin on Saturday, November 15, which happens to be Republic Proclamation Day in Brazil, and there were negotiations last year for a show in the country's capital, Brasília. Of course he could also begin the next leg in Tokyo or Mexico City. Anyway, this is my prediction: November 15 in Brazil, Mexico or Japan.

With the first two U.S. legs of Paul's tour now completed, all attention now focuses on the third and final leg: September 28: San Diego, CA - Petco Park October 1 - San Antonio, TX - Tobin Center for the Performing Arts October 2 - Lubbock, TX - United Spirit Arena October 11 - New Orleans, LA - Smoothie King Center October 13 - Dallas, TX - American Airlines Center October 15 - Atlanta, GA - Philips Arena October 16 - Nashville, TN - Bridgestone Arena October 25 - Jacksonville, FL - Veterans Memorial Stadium October 28 - Louisville, KY - Yum! Center October 30 - Greensboro, NC - Coliseum Seems a bit strange having 2 large gaps (over a week each after the third and 7th show) in the middle of a tour. Anyone here feel that a few more shows will be announced?

My best guess is that New Orleans was going to be the first date of that leg, but then those 3 concerts were added for various reasons. That would explain the first gap. Maybe the second gap happened due to failed negotiations for concerts during that week?

It's possible Carlos, however to have everyone associated with such a huge tour, "idle" for long periods of time doesn't make sense. I really think a few concerts may be announced to fill it in.

If so, they had better make an annoucement soon, as the next leg is just 6 werks away. How do you like my theory, by the way? Does it make any sense?

Those gaps make total sense if he still has custody of Beatrice half of the time, with every other week off. I certainly never expected him to be on the road for more than a month straight with no break.

It sounds right, if so they should be announcing them real soon!

I doubt anything will fill in. He typically leaves gaps....however, he typically doesn't do that many shows in one month....time will tell. He's certainly announced shows with LESS time before

Not holding my breath. I doubt there are any more shows coming.

I think both points are valid. The schedule has gaps due to the ad hoc rescheduling and there remains the potential for more shows.

The schedule has gaps because those are times he spends with his daughter Bea.

We have a different perspective of what is a "healthy payment", that's all.

He always does this. 2 weeks of touring, 2 weeks taking care of his daughter in London, and so on. It's the main reason his tour schemes doesn't make sense.

I think these gaps have more to do with the rescheduling of the shows. True he always tours half the month and has Bea the other...but I think this has more to do with having to reschedule all of those June shows after getting sick

Yes, also this. The October dates are a special case anyway, it's his first tour in 9 years in that month. Glad he could reschedule that part straight away. Still, honestly, I can wait. As long as the setlist, with 10 inclusions I dreamed about for years, stays the same, I'm good.

Untrue, large breaks between shows has been his model for sometime, so it makes perfect sense that he continues this way. Usually it has to do with custody of Bea but I think that this is more due to the problems of having to reschedule so many shows

I wonder: is there still time to reschedule the Asian concerts to november? I seem to remember previous Japanese legs being announced around 4 months in advance.

I do hope not. Paul was in Japan last November and he wanted to go back there too soon. What about Europe? He should reschedule his Asian concerts next year along with a long-awaited Australia/New Zealand tour.
