I agree, it is such a mess. So many people are waiting on dates for their areas, countries etc. And if they dont announce in your particular area you then have missed out on organising tickets, travel to go to a show somewhere else. I have a friend that wanted to go to Japan after we were told no dates in Australia. There are rumours that they are coming to Australia, Japan hasn't been released yet, so she doesnt know what to do. Wait for Aussie dates (if they do), wait for Japan dates (not knowing if they are coming here) or just go ahead and buy tickets for somewhere in Europe or the USA. She may end up spending 1000's of dollars, when they might be playing so close to where she lives anyway.
Wish they would get themselves organised soon.
