^^ No idea yet. I'm sure things like set times and band order will get straighten up a few weeks before the tour.

Anyway, with these two headlining shows before the Victorious Sky tour, I'm actually contemplating going to the show in North Carolina on the Thursday the week of the Listening Party. Plane tickets look cheap from Orlando to Raleigh. Listening Party is on a Tuesday. I have the Wednesday to take the plane there and I can spend the day in Raleigh on Thursday and see the show and get back to SoCal on Friday. 10 Years being main support does sweeten the deal a bit. I'm actually thinking about it.

I guess I have to ask myself. Do I like this band enough for me to go ahead and make this endeavor? The answer is, of course, yes. Plus, I'm missing out on seeing Breaking Benjamin. Replacing Breaking Benjamin for an AB show (especially when the AB show is all GA) is a great tradeoff. I'm doing it and no one's going to stop me.

So what? Why should religion beliefs get in the way of the idea of two great bands touring together? Skillet is doing a tour with Sevendust this summer and Sevendust is not Christian Rock.
Agreed. And I wouldn't label Alter Bridge as atheist/agnostic as the previous poster did. Myles may fall into that category, but Mark certainly doesn't. (I'm not entirely sure of Brian and Flip.)

Regarding Sevendust, they are not Christian Rock, but Clint Lowery has embraced his faith, which is why I thought that tour with Sevendust and Skillet made sense a bit.

In any event, I think religion shouldn't play a part of pairing of bands. Sure, you probably won't see a Stryper/King Diamond pairing in the near future, :lol but good bands are good bands. If they share fans, it makes sense to pair up, particularly the way promoters value names and double-bills these days.

I love the House of Blues venue in Anaheim and I'm sure the Myrtle Beach version of it is great, but I don't think I would have the budget to stick around any longer out of California than I already do.

Hey Stjin, probably Berlin and/or Hamburg. It will be my first time in Europe and I am still working the things out.

Well, colored me shocked. They have added one more show. It's a standalone show in Montreal, Quebec, Canada on October 1st. They played this venue before formally known as the Metropolis in 2017. Now it's known as the MTELUS.

This is becoming quite the tour in NA. I was worried that they wouldn't visit North America until early 2020, but now they got 25 shows. Got the album listening party, 10 Years is main supporting two of those shows, solid co-headlining tour with Skillet and most of those shows are before the album is out.

So on Spotify AB released a Walk the Sky Tour 2019 playlist.
https://open.spotify.com/playlist/4UJKR ... f8wT2pwwFA
I wonder if this in an indication of what songs they will play on the tour (with the exceptions of the new songs that haven't been released yet). Thoughts?

Are they trolling or do they seriously have a 30 second song on the playlist

What's the 30 second song? I don't see it on that list.

As for the playlist, I don't think it's any indication of the songs that's going to be played on the tour. I highly doubt they are going to be playing The Other Side and The Last Hero or One Day Remains on the regular. It's a playlist of some well-known songs for people to be familiarized with the bands on this Walk the Sky Europe tour. Although it does look like a playlist that's heavily favored the main three bands' (AB, Shinedown, and Sevendust) more recent albums.

It's missing Sevendust's Angel's Son and nothing from Shinedown's Us and Them (which sadly, Shinedown has decided that that album does not exist anymore by not playing any songs from it on the regular in their shows). Still, I saw Shinedown a few days back. I was thoroughly entertained, especially since I paid only $25.00 for a far back seat, but it was a good view. Nearly every song was a singalong in a crowd of about 7-8,000 people and if Brent Smith was miming or relying on backing tracks then I was fooled since I couldn't really spot that at all in his vocal melodies. It sounded live enough and he sang certain chorus lines that didn't sound like exactly the studio version. More like singing it in a way that doesn't strain the voice.

That's actually very disappointing...that's their best album IMO.

All right, set times for the festival in Tennessee. AB gets an hour and everyone else of name value also gets an hour. GNR gets three hours, but that's expected.

Does Raleigh/myrtle beach include Skillet, or no?

Nope. Skillet will not be in the two shows after the listening party. This will be a full AB headlining show and 10 Years and Dirty Honey will be opening. I mentioned it when it was announced.

^^ You got me, Andy.

All right, I bought my ticket to the Raleigh show. They were $43.00 for GA. Not bad. It looks to be the standard price for bands the size of AB. I also opted to pay the extra $10.00 for the fast lane pass. Me buying the plane tickets to the east coast were a little cheaper than I expected, so I decided why not? I may end up in the front row.

All right, well. It has been confirmed from AB's management team via email. The VIP listening party will be at the Beacham (which was obvious given that was where they hosted it last time, but now it is confirmed). Only a 14 minute walk away from the hotel room I am staying out. Pretty darn sweet.
