Symphony X Aussie fans unite

Was listening in on a call with a 'supposedly' switched on and respected metal promoter last night where the feasability of an Australian Symphony X tour was raised. he basically laughed at the suggestion saying "you and 7 other people would be the only ones there"

Apparently this is the same promoter who bought the Gigantour here last year.

I was almost shocked with such a bleak assesment. Not the kind of thing we wanna hear :(
 
If they come down, it wont be one of the massive promoters bringing them down. The reason he laughed at the idea is because hes used to selling out 3-5 thousand seat venues that make him some decet coin. The promoters would be more like the people who got nevermore, nile or dark tranquility down here - Keep the faith :kickass:
 
... dont remind me, testament followed suit soon after :( had tix to both...

But the nevermore cancellation wasnt the promoters fault, the ticket sales were low so the capitol ditched it

prick :mad:
 
Argh, this is painful! I need dates!! Haha :heh:

Hopefully there is a promoter out there willing to bring them out. A Sydney + Melbourne tour would sell well, other states might be a risk. I'm willing to travel interstate for it.

are you joking, Brisbane would do just as well as Melbourne or Sydney.
 
Adelaide would definately do alright, I reckon...

Did anyone read the interview with James LaBrie in the July edition of 'Mixdown' mag? He said he can basically guarantee that DT will be here soon, they're just waiting on exact dates from the promoters... :D
 
Nah only you read it. And yeah I think Adelaide could muster up like 20 people if SX came here.:headbang: Though I'd prefer more so I can steal a lock of Romeo's hair less conspicuously.
