Now, now guys, let's be calm here. Just because Jaxx is showing this as a booked show already doesn't mean it is. They haven't dotted their I's and crossed their T's yet, or it'd be announced on major sites like Pollstar/BG's own site/Ticketmaster/Century Media/etc, so just try to calm down.
Cause I know that, er, uh, there's not, uh, too many, um, people, waiting...
Fuck it.
*mark runs to phone and yells gibberish* Woo Hoo!!!!!!

Damn that pisses me off, I missed Hammerfall in Lincoln NE by a day and Symphony X last year. It really blows that these bands play so seldom in the US, I can't afford to travel all over to see them. I can't really afford PP to begin with. My girlfriend really needs to get a 2nd job.

Same as MarkGugs said.
I called to confirm this with InsideOut themselves because this happens often.
While the tour *IS* in the works nothing is even 100% confirmed yet because they are all working on the logistics of the tour, etc. Clubs and booking agents have a way of doing this, and I can tell you now, sometimes these things do not pan out for one reason or another so until you see something announced from the label, do not consider this to be a definite tour.

Believe me, I didn't want to be the party pooper. Hell, you KNOW how much I want this tour to happen (unless it doesn't come near NYC, in which case, poo for everyone!). But I was just kinda playing devil's advocate. Remember Marduk was confirmed to open for Danzig? No visas, no tour. How about the King Diamond/Sinergy tour in May? Hmm, don't remember that one happening either.
This I do have faith; after all, Marcus hisself posted on the official BG board that the tour was "in the works," so that's a halfway decent sign
I used to live right around the corner from Jaxx, and have seen many shows there. I still visit for some of the better acts. If Jay from Jaxx is listing the show that is good enough for me. He's a very respectable club owner. I'll be the first one in line.

So, if this turns out to be accurate, this is actualy a US tour (though probably a small one) with Blind Guardian and Symphony X? Seems like kind of an odd pairing to me...

I don't think it's a small chance at all. If you'll notice the date(s) of the possible show @ Jaxx, it's 1 week after ProgPower & Montreal. For a band that's not been to the USA before, it makes perfect sense to take care of a NA tour while they're already booked to be here, no?
As for the pairing, it's supposedly a triplet. You forgot Hammerfall, and IMO is a perfect pairing. There hasn't been a good power/prog metal tour since I was like 11.

The Blind Guardian website won't display properly. I just get a message saying "You are not authorized to view this page."

Morpheus, you're talking about the official Blind Guardian website, right? I just tried it and got the same thing...But basically, Edu Falaschi, the gist of what's going on here is that a club in Virginia has put on their schedule a show with Blind Guardian, Symphony X, and Hammerfall, to take place a week after ProgPower. Apparently, this has yet to be validated by any of the bands' labels.
I know, I checked out the Jaxx website yesterday to see that for myself. I was just responding to what I thought Edu_Falaschi meant by not being able to get the page to display. I went to the official site to see what the band has said about an upcoming tour, if anything. Someone mentioned that the band said something about a tour starting following ProgPower in a forum post.
Does anyone have the URL to the official Blind Guardian forum, since the main site won't load properly now?

It comes off the main Blind Guardian site, so it wouldn't matter if you did. It's also down right now, btw.
The BG forum is http://www.blind-guardian.com/cgi-bin/Ultimate.cgi?action=intro but it's all been down the past few days
Sounds really cool if it happens. Unfortunately, I'll be broke and all travelled out after Prog Power.....anyone who sees this show please post details afterward!
