btw guys..i was thinking how last 7-8 years tours going worldwide
the way i see it..
europe gets.,mixing of arenas-stadium-festivals
SA gets stadium or festivals..(2011-2015 stadiums + 1 festival) and (2013-2018 festival +1 stadium)
NA like a leg of stadium-festivals-ballparks and leg of arenas
only wonder is australia,cos they play like every 5-6 years so u cant tell how they do the tour there.(but seems sa style will work..festivals or stadiums)
in other words,the arenas only tours is long gone..the band is HUGE world wide..arenas cant fit the million of fans this band has and want to see them live…and thats the reasons,only continent gets arenas show in the fall-winter is usa.
cos cant play in europe -sa-australia in stadiums in fall or winter..the weather will be not good.
