So, there will be a tour for south america?

[DeviusMetal]

Mikael said once in an interview (for Watershed) that they hope to finally tour South America, like, it is obviously in their plans to come here. But i also remember him saying that it was very frustrating because of bad promoters trying to rip them off (and here in Argentina there is plenty of those, sadly) and also beacause they have to ship their gear by boat or something like that but... Rent gear here, c´mon! hehe i hope someone profesional take care of bringing this band with the right conditions... soon!

It's good to show them that we actually exist, that there are fans of them in this continen.
We have to show the same thing to promoters.

Soy de Costa Rica, pero si Opeth va a Sudamerica...me voy para alla entonces! Todo sea por Opeth!

It´s been just announced that Wacken will have a brazilian version next year. Can´t believe it?

Sooooooooo... this would be a perfect reason for a South American tour.
I hope all other scandinavian bands come too.

opeth! katatonia! meshuggah!

Esa es la santisima trinidad o mas bien la malefica trinidad jeje.
The "south american promoters are shit-statement" is, i think, somewhere in the biography section in the opeth official site. Mikael has referred to opeth possibily coming here a few times, i dont remember the exact interviews...
Someone said before (and i agree 100%) that promoters should aknowledge the great and ever growing fan base that Opeth have all over South America. But promoters here are so fucking unprofessional and so far away from knowing anything about the actual music bussines (instead of how to rip off bands and public) that i think the iniciative will have to come from the band first...

 

[Luann]

what iniciative? that isn't how it works..

 

[αlphaWhore]

Sad but true.

If that's how it works then the 2006 show wouldn't been cancelled.
