I'm from Guadalajara not Mexico City but this may be his last chance to pull out Backseat of My Car...and I would never live it down if I missed it...and those mariachis sound so good on stage... *goes off google "cheap flights to CDMX" and "how to sell a kidney"*

you mean back before ANY 2016 announcements? They corresponded to the cities' ranking in the US (and Canada) in terms of population. He explained it some pages ago...but too lazy to look for it and post a link lol

Bob Gannon:
Looks as though at least a few shows built around the Indio show
L.A., San Diego, Phoenix, Vegas...Cool!

Do you know these are the cities or are you guessing?

Any rumors of shows after the Indio/west coast leg? I've heard October in Mexico City, and there were those Brazil rumors way back when. They didn't have a date but said "new tour" and Paul usually goes either in November or April/May.

I'm no insider. Of course I'm guessing. Those are the big cities closest to Indio.

I really doubt L.A. and San Diego are going to be played, as the Indio show is designed to pull from those 2 cities. The Coachella Festival normally has a clause that doesn't allow artists to play in L.A. or San Diego within a couple months of the festival and I assume those rules are in play here. Las Vegas wouldn't surprise me, as it's been 5 years, but I have a feeling that after Indio it will be only the 3 Mexico City shows that 5th Beatle mentioned. That will give him 6 shows for October. Brazil could happen in November or he may be done for the year, like last year when he finished around the same time in October. With 3 Mexico dates, he will be topping 40 shows this year.

I know about that rule, but that is for "regular" Coachella which features lots of bands. These are 6 of the biggest musicians in the world and to make this show happen, it is possible that the promoters would waive that clause for this show.

Even if they do, I doubt Paul will play L.A. and San Diego. After all the money people will be spending to see the Indio show, it makes more sense for him to play those cities next year or later. I would think it would only a small percent of people buying Indio tickets would then also shell out for LA or San Diego happening just a few days later. If he blows away people at the show in Indio to a crowd of 70,000, he should have great tickets sales for these cities next year. It's just asking too much for people to pay for Indio, then hundreds more to see him the next week. His sales will not be as strong as if he just holds off until 2017.

You're talking about Southern California, which has about 20 million people in the L.A., San Diego, Orange Co., Riverside, San Bernadino metro area. If Coachella is a sell-out (and don't forget people will be flying in for this one), any of these guys could easily do some other shows in the area. If they felt like it. You see guys like McCartney and the Stones add shows all the time if the first one sells out. It's just a thought. Though both Paul and the Stones have played L.A. and S.D. in the last two years.
