Who's going? Also I'm curious as to what venue it will be held at. I'm assuming house of Blues but how cool would it be at the social?! Up close andown personal.. or at Marks house lol

I wanted to get a ticket first thing but last time I checked they didn't have a date yet which is kind of a huge part of planning so...

It might be at The Beacham or whatever that place is called next to The Social. It's bigger than The Social and they're selling more tix to the LP this time around.

i'll be there if it works out with work.. so basically i need a date so i can check if it works out.. the longer they wait with a date, the more expensive flights will be too.. so that could also factor in in the end!.. we will see..

I had the money, airfare and all but spent it on a new guitar. Would love to go, but I'll be practicing Fortress songs instead.

I'd like to go, I just can't book anything without a date. My work schedule isn't set up to where I can take vacation at any time of the year where I work at a college. I'll have to wait and see what month it's taking place first.

So with current tour dates July 9-Aug 21 wouldn't that put the AB V listening party at the late June / early July timeframe (assuming it'd be the first show)? Right now that basically gives them 3 months to announce a date. Kinda cutting it close isn't it?

Or are those dates completely unrelated? Seems odd they'd tour before the release.

not really. SMK&C did a support run before World on Fire was released. it would be odd if it was a headline tour, but not as support. listening party and release won't be before the tour. I'd tend to think September or early Oct. I know the description says before Oct 31, but I'd be surprised if it's anywhere near that late. I feel like with the way recording is going, it'll be released around mid-late Oct.
the first single I have a feeling will come out before the tour then that will be played in the set.

Tremonti was touring before Cauterize came out.

Well, as uctalum01 stated, Slash/Myles/Conspirators did that opening leg with Aerosmith in amphitheaters before World on Fire was released and around that time, the first single to that album was already out and so they were playing it in their opening sets. AB is pretty much in the same boat. Single will probably be out before the tour begins. Listening Party will probably be around September. Album is probably going to be out a few weeks later.

I hope the set they are going to be playing at the listening party will be a nice meaty length. Not asking for 3 hours, but their usual amount of about 1hr 40min. will do fine, including some newer tracks (we got to have some form of optimism here).

They won't promote the listening party with "Be the first to not only hear the new Alter Bridge record, but the first to see some of the unreleased tracks performed live in this once in a life time event with the band." and then go release the first single and play any of the songs live on tour before the listening party happens.

So, either they tour first and don't play any new songs and there's no single until late this year, or the listening party happens before the tour.
