IYD Tour?
 

I was curious with everyone do you think Stevie will do a full late summer/fall tour this year? I hope she does what do you think?

If she can get a promoter to get some dates booked for her, I don't see why not. The problem she's going to run into is the fact the Heart and Soul tour already hit most of the major markets earlier this year. I don't think you can visit those twice. Stevie isn't the current "it girl," the market won't absorb her.

I am guessing she'll keep doing these little casino dates like she's been doing lately. I just wish she'd give up and start doing smaller theaters. She wouldn't have any problems then. That'd also allow her to hit smaller markets which she hasn't been to in decades, like Austin. :D And no doubt, she'd sell out every show if she did smaller venues (2,000-5,000 capacity). :)

That's brilliant, but I wonder if she'd go for smaller venues...

the small theatre (cap 2500) that I used to work at tried to book her but she was $350,000 and her management wouldn't budge on the price. I tried to convince the ceo that she could easily sell out even at a $150.00 ticket price but he still wouldn't book her.

I think it would be a mistake to NOT go out behind this album and tour. We've been waiting 10 years for something new/something Stevie new, and I am very curious to see what she would do with this album. We made this album open at #6--and I do believe it's the loyal fans, not the casual fans, that purchased this album.

I think we'd have to talk with Dave Stewart, as he seems a bit playful. Having seen the sizzle reel, imagine the designing of the stage set: fire eaters, vampires, ghostly apparitions . . . maybe an owl, and I'd love to see that Edgar Allan Poe dude walking around. She could turn this into one big Halloween party--and she's always said she enjoys Halloween. ;) I don't think she'd have any problem selling out her show.

Yes please! :nod:

it's not entirely uncommon for an artist or singer to double dip especially when coming off of or going into a joint tour by playing the same venue or the 'opposite' venue (indoor vs. outdoor, etc.).

But, with that being said, she is most likely going to be booked into smaller venues if she decides to head out.

That is the BEST idea I have heard in a long time for her show. Absolutely! Someone should Twitter Dave - especially since he has an album to support as well soon. I'd do it but don't use Twitter :(

I keep thinking about a remark she made in one of her interviews when she was deciding to go on the road with Rod and she said her Management said to her something along the lines of "it's a good idea, you'll get to play your song (Secret Love), it's only a month of shows and it'll be like you worked this year". Basically meaning she'll haul in enough money within that month and won't need to do much else the rest of the year... Not that that has anything to do with promoting the album, it's more along the lines of making money... But it might play into it.

But I do think like Louie said, it would be hard hitting the same markets again. But really there's plenty of other markets she could hit, smaller markets... but it might be more work. She could do a secondary market run.

Despite Rod Stewart going to Las Vegas, another leg of Heart and Soul is in the works -

such markets considered -
Rosemont
Minneapolis
Indianapolis
St Louis
Omaha
Des Moines
Portland
Dallas
Charlotte
Baltimore
Long Island
San Diego
Houston
Columbus
Pittsburgh

THAT was very telling. Thanks for giving us the details on that. I always wondered what the hell prevents her from doing smaller venues! Those idiots that are her management need to rethink their decisions. Unbelievable.

I think if she does a late summer/fall U.S. tour she can hit the same markets that she did with Rod. I really think she should have done was not tour with Rod and focus on this new album and I don't think the record label and publicits don't give Stevie enough confidence about her new work either. I think she will hit the same markets just play smaller venues she will sell out.

Unitingnations, any idea when these dates would b announced? And I'm guessing these would be in July-august

not sure I think it would happen I hope.

Rod said in an interview that it's probably going to happen again
