loomer Posted March 3, 2010 Share Posted March 3, 2010 I feel sorry for Oz as she was always one of their biggest markets by population ratio. Only the UK, Finland, Italy, Canada and Spain would be rivals I'd say. But there's other countries she still hasn't played. If she does Oz, then why not play New Zealand. She has CONTINUALLY snubbed Scotland even though she also said she'd play there, despite ALWAYS playing England (she seems to think London IS the UK), and has played Ireland and even fucking WALES to add insult to injury. My family are in England, but it is still VERY FUCKING EXPENSIVE to travel down there and book hotels. Last time I went down to see her there was that big Heathrow liquid bomb terrorism scare of course. And I was held up for hours, just my luck.

karbatal Posted March 3, 2010 Share Posted March 3, 2010 Dyuring SS tour, shw went wherever she had an offer too. Scotland should have called her crew, offer her 3 million euro and she would have showed her crotch there. It's not her not wanting, but Scottish promoters who don't give a damn.

loomer Posted March 3, 2010 Share Posted March 3, 2010 No it isn't that I don't think. ALL the biggest US superstars from Jacko onwards have played Scotland at some point. Except her. She was SUPPOSED to play here since possibly Drowned World, and each time that vile jingoistic complaining Tartan rag The Daily Record announced she would, building up my hopes and jinxed it. What I would say is the LACK of suitable venues, cause her team have mulled it over before. National Stadium Hampden (which used to hold the record for biggest crowd capacity of the UK which still hasn't been surpassed before they modernised it for safety) is a very dated SHITHOLE which is very difficult to get out of. I only saw Robbie Williams there (don't ask, I was dragged along) but nightmare isn't the word. All the biggest stars play there, but it is located next to housing and unlike Wembley not too near an underground or train station, I had to walk through half of Glasgow to get home as it was so blocked with slow moving traffic. I love Wembley Park underground. Although there is THAT - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mount_Florida_railway_station But it's still a helluva walk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Lovely bitch Posted March 3, 2010 Share Posted March 3, 2010 On the road again in 2011 Madonna's Sticky & Sweet Tour drummer Brian Frasier-Moore was recently interviewed at the NAMM 2010 conference. He was asked what his he had been up to lately, his reply: I just finished Madonna's tour, I was out with her for a year and six months. Starting up with Christina (Aguilera) in February and then back to Madonna again at the top of 2011. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In my town she performed in the middle of the dessert, with horrible traffic jams to see her and no conditions at all. But that was because the City Hall was the promoter and got the place ready. But if she plays in a wasteland surrounded by dessert landscapes, she can play in Scotland too. It's a pity your city halls don't involve in music and don't bring the music stars themselves.

loomer Posted March 3, 2010 Share Posted March 3, 2010 Though I shouldn't really complain compared to the Aussies as I'm only an hour flight and 5 hour train ride away from London and less for Manchester. But it's nice to see her locally with your home crowd and the Scottish audiences are legendary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkyHigh76 Posted March 3, 2010 Share Posted March 3, 2010 I'm glad she's not touring this summer.I want her to finish the new album in time for a fall release.There is plenty of time to tour in 2011,but right now,let's get the album finished.

Some would say there was little difference Yeah, there are plenty of venues here. Royal Concert Hall does orchestral music and cult acts. Glasgow is VERY rich in culture but perhaps not as much as Edinburgh which has better theatre and the snooty designer stores and is full of tourists and English people. Scotland is no Espagna, of course. And I MUCH prefer the European French/Latinos etc for looks.

jacket Posted March 3, 2010 Share Posted March 3, 2010 Those prices are seriously fucked. Australia is the only OECD country not to go into a technical recession, still maintain a low single figure unemployment rate, and incur a measly 15% Debt of GDP - but that doesn't mean average fans could, or would be, willingly to pay those prices. Even in better economic times it would be outrageous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

karbatal Posted March 3, 2010 Share Posted March 3, 2010 Spaniards should emigrate to Australia. There's so much unemployment here and such a hard economy situation that i think this country is going to explode itself and disappear under the Mediterranean sea, just to get the money from the insurance.

She wasn't going to tour this summer in the first place, but at the end of the year (summer in OZ and Latin America).

cosmic_system Posted March 3, 2010 Share Posted March 3, 2010 There were two rumours today - one about early 2011 and the other about an Australian tour in July of this year (four months away).

SkyHigh76 Posted March 3, 2010 Share Posted March 3, 2010 so many conflicting rumors,lol. My **guess** is that she IS planning a tour,but it won't take place until 2011.A new album will be released by the end of this year (most likely,the fall). It would be silly for her to go out on tour without a new album.A "greatest hits tour" just isn't her style. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carta Posted March 3, 2010 Share Posted March 3, 2010 A few points - summer officially starts in Australia on December 1st (not December 21st) - all of our seasons officially start on the 1st of the month (we finished summer on Sunday and started autumn on Monday) The prices are definitely insane, although the venues she would have been playing are tiny (for example, Whitney Houston's sell out figure for Brisbane last week was around 7 700, although the promoter said that they had 9500 there (even though it didn't officially sell out, which is odd). The venues in Sydney and Melbourne probably hold around 12k each. All of the major artists play outdoor stadiums, which seat well over 40k, so to have Madonna in a 10k venue on her first tour in nearly 17 years would be quite a coup for the promoters. In any case, Guy has already denied the tour rumours. Undercover and auspOp have been duped this time, which is pretty much a first for both of them, since they're really careful about what they publish. Why Molly Meldrum would comment on a rumour like this, though, I don't know. Incidentally, the negative press has already started about ticket prices etc. This a rumour that will damage her reputation here, especially when it's announced that she's not coming after all. Also, the Undercover story mentions "Ultimate" tickets and "Penultimate" tickets, but says that "penultimate" is better than "ultimate", which is linguistically incorrect (it's like saying that someone is doing their last show, followed by their second last show, since "penultimate" means "second last"!).

moe Posted March 3, 2010 Share Posted March 3, 2010 The drummer already recanted his story and said it was just wishfully thinking on his part.

Sphere74 Posted March 3, 2010 Share Posted March 3, 2010 (edited) Same old shit - complaints about the ticket price and the ''why doesn't she come to my city/country/region?'' moaning! She's been charging US$300 or more (she charged more than $500 for the Japan dates on Confession tour) everywhere for the past few tours. She's not a super human. She can't visit every market and of course, she won't skip the major cities/countries. Why do you think she tours this many times? MONEY! Singers/bands/record labels don't make money out of promoting singles/albums, selling them or downloads. Whose fault is that? New technologies and every one of us who uses them. The music industry is in a completely different state now. Anyway, if she tours soon or not, we'll see. Edited March 3, 2010 by Sphere74 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest dicktracy Posted March 3, 2010 Share Posted March 3, 2010 PEOPLE! A Summer tour in Australia would happen after December 2010. It's Summer there right now. There is enough time for it. She most likely will record an album and get the preproduction of her movie done during this Northern Hemisphere Summer. She obviously will tour in 2011, if it's in the beginning of the year (Australia) or not is what we don't know. There was only 1 year gap between RIT, CT and S&S.

Zezwer Posted March 3, 2010 Share Posted March 3, 2010 Good news! Now go and take time to make a GREAT album instead all these touring takes time from actual making a great album and focus on being innovative when it comes to the music instead...
