Paul will return to the UK sooner or later. He performed in Liverpool, Glasgow and London 13 months ago, so this time he's going to places he hasn't been to in a while (or ever) in Europe.
Nearly every year he does a few shows in the US during the Summer/Fall, so those will probably be the next announcements.
No, at this stage now he needs to stick to home more
Do you mean the UK? If so, a few dates could probably cover it. The thing with countries like the US is they're so big it's impossible to really get around in just one or two stops.
Yes home is the U.K. for me and Macca. I appreciate the size of the USA but he plays there every year . Yes people have to travel but people have to travel in the U.K. too. It's time he plays home again before it's too late, 3 years between gigs (2015-2018) is a very long time at his age.

He did 8 shows in the area back in 2017 (2 nights each in NYC/Brooklyn/Long Island/NJ). So it will be 3 years. For that large of a market, it's possible that he could come back for a show or two.
Sounds about right. Hopefully he will announce a concert somewhere close to you!

Apparently, the demand in other countries - the US in particular - seems to be higher than in his home country; so that's where he goes.

Oh wow, I didn't know that. Kinda sad. Do you have any idea why the home crowd isn't showing him more love?
The USA has a larger population than most countries and a higher number of fans who can afford Paul's ticket prices. It's the biggest market in the world, so it's natural for entertainers from all countries to do a lot of concerts there.
What he's doing this year is the same he did in 2004: several European concerts as preparation for a single UK concert at Glastonbury. Perhaps there's a clause in the contract for the festival preventing artists from playing at other UK venues?
No such clause, glasto artists usually play other U.K. venues at the time. It's disappointing - Paris is good enough to play again but not London? By the time he comes back again it'll a few years on which takes its toll these days.
Does anyone know why Paul is playing Paris again, for instance, but not any more dates in the U.K.?
If Paul plays the USA again without doing UK shows then that shows contempt to the home crowd
Yes, he only played the U.K. 13 months ago but the USA gets gigs every year! Also, Paul played Paris just 13 months ago and is playing there again.
i really don't understand why he couldn't play other U.K. gigs alongside Glastonbury. Paul hasn't done a wider U.K. tour for some time - he would easily sell out Cardiff for instance.
It's frustrating (the Stones are the same) that the home crowd have to wait every 3-4 years for gigs. Time is running out and it's time that the home crowd are given priority!

How long in advance does he usually announce US tour dates? I bet he'll do a few concerts over there anytime between July and November.

Any potential UK rumours? Otherwise this is a very bad year for UK gigs (glasto doesn't count) with neither Macca or the Stones playing home. I've got my fingers crossed for Bob to come back!
He's got to play the U.K. properly again (i.e - normal shows not glasto) surely
