BLIND GUARDIAN - Two North American Live Dates Announced

[Iced Ray]

The first two live dates for BLIND GUARDIAN's highly anticipated return to North America have been announced as follows:

November
8 - Tempe, AZ at Marquee Theatre
14 - Vancouver, BC at Commodore Ballroom

As previously reported, Blind Guardian released their EP Fly in March through Nuclear Blast Records. The full length album, A Twist In The Myth (working title), is scheduled for release in September 2006 and will be the band’s debut album with Nuclear Blast Records.


Lets hope that they add some dates on the East Coast!

Let's hope they do a tour ALL ACROSS AMERICA! WHOOOOO!!!!!!

 

[AngraRULES]

I wonder where they'll be playing in New York City. BB King's maybe just too small for them! hAhahaha

If they hit the east coast (which hopefully they will), I hope they hit Jaxx in Virginia. Jay (Jaxx's owner - for those that haven't been there) has had them on the list of upcoming bands FOREVER and if they are coming to North America I would hope he would be able to book them. My friends and I have been waiting a long time to see them play at Jaxx. Hell, we've been waiting a long time to see them play anywhere in the states, so if they don't play Jaxx ... well, let's just say a road trip might be in order.

Just read this myself.
Excellent news.
Considering BG already did a "test" run of the US a few years back, hopefully with the support of Nuclear Blast they will do a proper full tour.

Welcome back to America, BG!

 

[AngraRULES]

Savage Circus should open... lol

 

[J-Man]

WOOOOHOOOOOO Tempe Az only 6 hours away, guess i know where i will be on November the 8th.

Savage Circus should open... lol

That's funny but cool all at once!

 

[Jasonic]

It would be cool if they bring a solid touring partner.
I never understood why some bands come over with no opener. Imagine how more successful the previous Strato and Therion tours would have been had their been a solid opener...

I guess you never know. Dragonforce and Sonata Arctica sold very well with non-solid openers or touring partners.

Interesting thought. Who would be a great co-headliner with DF? Maybe PowerQuest, Sam Totman's old band?

I would love to see a band like Pyramaze open for 'em.

 

[Jasonic]

Either Pyramaze or Power Quest would be excellent choices!
I would guess though it would be someone in the CM / Nuclear Blast family.

OH MY GOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I read this on BMNews this morning!! This show!! It must come in S. Florida like the last time !! It was soooo packed and crazy last time it would be soooo stupid and shit out of luck if they don't come in here again!! I will be there if they do like always anyway

Also, I heard this tour was going to be a full world tour.. so maybe (..and hopefully..) they come in the entire U.S. states..I don't see why not actually, it was a success the last time. I think that Tuatha De Dannan should open.. Maybe Within Temptation (my friend told me on their site it said something about the US get prepared for WT at the end of this year..). Anyway, alone or with a supporter.. this will be success. I hope they don't just do a half-assed US tour.

 

[AngraRULES]

OH MY GOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA...

Only a few will get it....

 

[AngraRULES]

I think that Tuatha De Dannan should open..

Fuck yeah! Tuatha rules!

 

[Curufin]

Yes, they'll do a full tour of the US, just like last time. If this tour is anywhere near as extensive as the last one, then most people should be able to attend one of the concerts.

I'm hoping they get Symphony X as support again, even though I think SX is a bit beyond being a support band at this point.

Nonetheless, it's nice to know we only have to wait until November as opposed to February as Hansi previously suggested.

Also, I fucking hope their San Francisco date isn't at The Pound.

I would love to see a band like Pyramaze open for 'em.

PYRAMAZE would be the perfect opener, and i am sure PYRAMAZE would love to do it.

They should play the Starland Ballroom in Jersey. Much bigger/way better.

 

[Pellaz]

Nahhh. Radio City Music Hall.
