there are promoters out there trying to an idea of ticket sales so they can book suitable venues. Is 300-400 per gig too optimistic for a major capital city?

Sorry for resurrecting an old thread but what sort of numbers would rock up to a Sydney show if they were to tour here?

Fuck yeah Wintersun

Cheers guys I'm aware of Theiron but not much into them About to check out Wintersun & Sabaton on iTunes now.

Ok, so I'm purchasing the Iconoclast disc through the NB website and thought I'd add some stablemates to the order. Are there any albums from other (lesser known) bands in the same genre that are worth checking out? I heard a couple of sound grabs from Scar Symmetry and I'm liking what I hear.

Impelliterri. On the flipside, I'm sure most others here including myself listen to music these days they would have cringed at in the past *cough* country *cough*.

I don't dislike the album any more than say TiO or tO. The title track, The Edge of Forever, Whispers, Secrets and Both Winter's Dreams are on the iPod (I'll have to remind myself to put Dressed to Kill on there too). The Edge of Forever bores me a bit more than the rest especially with...

I'd probably (only just) rate him as one of the few musical geniuses among the likes of Freddie Mercury, David Gilmour, Prince and Donald Fagen. Big call but I'll stand by it.

CoF and Satyricon are playing late May and March respectively, not late February. It's just the promoters wanting to give themselves maximum opportunity. Plus CoF and Satyricon have the advantage of having toured successfully here before. The only lame excuse going around is it might clash with...

There's no doubt in the band's mind they'll be a success here. Their agent in the UK is super keen to get Australian shows on the back of this tour. From a local promoters point of view, it might just be too late for a marketing campaign to get any traction coming out of the holiday season. The...

An Australian promoter will be in touch with SX management in the next few days.

Who knows, maybe in the future. I Don't hate the bands listed. Found myself getting into stuff I wasn't much into in the past getting plenty of play in the present if that makes sense.

hilarious! don't think JP appreciated his set being crashed. I'm sure he contemplated flicking his toggle switch to 'Kill Zone Mode'. Good restraint shown there.
