So some of you know i have tickets to the NY show of this tour in October but cannot actually go.

I am rescheduling my US trip to next May / June and had heard the tour would be continuing in January, but what about after? I don't want to miss them entirely! They better not be over here in Australia when i'm over there! Lol

i don't know about January but there are those rumors about Glastonbury in June and Christine was talking about the UK/EU tour for late spring/early summer 2015 after the new Mac album is released.

US Dates mid-Jan thru early spring...then Europe/festivals for the summer. That's the last I heard...

There better be Aus/NZ dates, especially after the disappointment of last year. Of course that couldn't be helped but still... I'm hoping!

Do many big bands make it to your country? It must be frustrating when a band you love tours the world, but bypasses you.

I'm big fan of Crowded House/Neil Finn, and have seen them many time in the USA.

I'm from the UK but have lived in NZ for the past year. Most bands make it to the UK and more and more big artists are coming here now. The past few years have been great - most really big bands and artists come to Auckland which is only a few hours away. FM have always played here so I really hope they come back after cancelling before.

Yes, we do tend to get the big bands coming here and they play in sydney, melbourne and brisbane mainly.

The issue is that often the ticket prices are extra high as it costs them a lot more to get the bands here, and also people like patti smith, marianne faithfull or bob dylan tend to gig a lot locally but only come here once in a blue moon.

Paul Simon and Sting are to play in Australia feb next year.
As for FM i've heard they will come to UK and Europe around april 2015.
Nothing so far for Australia but i'm sure they will come your way.

I'd love to visit that part of the world; its like an alternate universe to me. I have old friends that I lost touch with, and was really surprised to discover they recently moved to Sydney. I can't image what opportunity facilitated such a drastic move. Sadly, don't think I'll have the chance to to travel there in my lifetime.
