Avantasia goes on tour!

Why in the hell are there no UK or US dates? Doesn't take much to get into the states(Mexicans get in for free all the time...) and the UK is easy to get to be it by ferry or the freaking Chunnel. No excuse for lack of dates.

I do believe you're forgetting the massive cost of taking this giant project overseas, sir.
 
Kai Hansen is coming with Avantasia... meaning Michael Kiske and Kai Hansen might actually share the stage? Holy shit. If I don't get to see this I'm going to have an aneurysm.
 
--that's Deris, not Kiske, ya dummy. :p

We're talking the difference between box wine and fine Italian vintage here.

YouTube seems to have lied to me and I was too lazy to check. Pardon my error, kind sir. I'd prefer a fine French vintage any day btw :p

EDIT: I just realised a friend linked me the vid so I'm placing the blame on him ^_^

Its going to Mexico. Not far from the US really, plus they sell Avantasia CD's in the freaking Hot Topics up where I am! Kind of disappointing that they will bring it south of the border but not north!
