North America (& its hat) tour confirmed

Got tickets for 4 shows. From a great third-row seat to the lawn in Cleveland. Annoying that the only one I missed out on was Chicago as I feel a bit like I've been thrown to the scalpers. Hope the face value resale might throw something up and that everyone else is patient and gets what they need.

I fear that the time spent by RS in fixing the issues of contemporary live music industry will be inversely proportional to the time spent on finishing Songs of a Lost World...

There's a 4 day gap between Mountain View & Seattle. I was thinking they could've easily thrown down a show in Portland or another one in the Bay area but I heard Robert has another commitment during those days. Probably hitting the talk show cirtcuit or something. I haven't counted but it seems that there are less dates on this tour than there were in 2016. Seeing as how they sold out the whole tour in a day, yes they needed more shows. For whatever reason they're hotter this year than they were in 2016.

More registered fans than there were available seats, just a demand vs allocation thing.
I guess they could be back in the bowls and stadiums next time..

I actually did not expect them anyway to work on the new album just a couple of weeks before the US-Tour. This is going to be another loooong wait.

Atlanta Georgia and Tampa simply had no seats listed, yet were not 'sold out'.

I took Miami. It's not the magical double show I had in 2016, but a Cure setlist is a Cure setlist.

I saw that, seems a shame that Mañana and Virtuous Patience are no longer being considered as B Sides.
