Tour postponed - new dates August
 

in the other thread i posted article / new interview with Lindsey where he was asked what is he doing during corona stay-at-home times. he said the whole tour is postponed, and that he was also originally planning another, larger tour to support new album, starting in August.

from this Las Vegas date (moved to August 15), it is unclear whether this will now be the original spring tour, or he will just go with his original August plans but honor April tickets for dates that were available.

of course, it's hard to predict what will happen by August, but this is for right now:

# Original Date Event Name Status

32 Sat., Apr. 25 Lindsey Buckingham New Date: Sat., Aug 15, 2020

wonder whether dates that will be postponed to August will be the same tour that was supposed to happen in April/May, or will he just release that album he's mastering now some time in the summer or August and tour it as he originally planned?

or will the album release and second tour be postponed.

My take is that he'll merge the Spring Tour with his Summer New Album Tour.
My presumption would be he'd be playing indoor halls/theaters of the same size on the previously planned New Album Tour as the Spring Tour.
He has momentum now with The Killers song & with it being his first tour since his procedure. He should surf the wave!

OKC has been moved to August 5th.

finally official postponement of the tour:

It is with great sadness that we are having to postpone my tour dates in April and May due to the Covid-19 pandemic. We are in the process of rescheduling the dates. Please contact your venue for further information. Full rescheduled dates will be announced as soon as possible.

new dates are slowly dripping in from the venues.

considering July Olympics were just postponed for a year, who knows whether these early August dates will really happen.

Thanks for posting!

Not to be a Debbie downer but I predict these dates will be cancelled also. I doubt ANY band will tour this year.

I think people will tour this year, but not that early. Even if the virus recedes in hot weather I don’t think concert goers will be ready financially until later on.

Agree, I think maybe October would be the earliest. But, I love LB's tenacity. He's still got it!

Today, I am remembering how “Use Me” was played before Lindsey shows. For such a short career, Bill Withers had a lot of hits.

Lean On Me was released in 1972. How is that a short career?:confused:

I just mean that he left the business when he was only 45 and obviously still had so much more to give. He was not active for long.

I never realized that he'd left the business. I figured he was just playing small rooms these days.

duh.

(where's that Billie Eilish meme when you need one?)
