Mark Knopfler & Bob Dylan: MAYBE a 2012 summer tour????

[ingridswing]

I like the idea, but Guy doesn't say it will be Bob. There will be livedates, we will not be disappointed. What do you think? Maybe I am going to be right that we will have a tour this year from MK 

Yeah, I'm gonna try to play that game, too:

- February / March: Finish the record, mastering etc
- March / April / May: new album and promos, showcases etc
- June / July : recording the film score
- August: holiday
- September/October: touring with you-know-who
- October / November / December: holiday
- spring 2013, tour

I know, it's highly unlikely, because of that gap between a release in March and the consecutive tour in 2013....

Q:

Reading between the lines on some of your responses, it appears to me that there is another Dylan/Knopfler tour coming. I would hate to see that. I am a big fan of Dylan's, but would want to see a full concert set by MK and not the abbreviated set the dual tour provides. Any comment?

You will get your wish

But when? This year already?

Just read this from a forumer in EXPECTING RAIN called Nosferatu

Strange things!

According to my source there was indeed no plan to Tour this year.
There was never a plan to Tour with Petty. I wasn't told the reason but the talk about recently designed Tour posters was completely wrong and a joke of the Crew and perhaps even of Bob or the Band..

But since beginning of January there were indeed plans to Tour in South America (with MK!) in Spring (Between March and May).
Anyway they started to book locations and stopped everything a week ago. The order to stop came from Bob.
It's not sure what happens now, because they stopped proceedings but didn't cancel the locations.
There was also a plan to tour in USA west Coast ( with MK!!!) in June / July and Europe in Autumn. Also these plans got stopped.

Same thing happened 2008 were all plans got stopped (by order of Bob) but the proceedings continued two weeks later and the first dates arrived.

Let's see. Something is happening here and announcements even for South America might happen every day.

They have to be sure before they print them, sign contracts, print posters and have them around the town in order to spike the desire... There are a lot of things that take more than two days. We would see signs before the actual announcement.

I've been in many MK concerts without seeing any posters or anouncements in radios or tvs, so I wont worry about it.

Actually, if they have everything sorted (it looks like venues are booked) they only have to anounce the tour dates and put the tickets on sale, that can be done in two days if the rest is sorted. Sending tikets? Most of the ticket sellers can print and send tickets in two weeks, and if you collect them in the venue, even better. That means that the end of march or early april is perfectly suitable.

today on guy's forum:
Sorry but I don't know the touring schedule as yet although there is planning underway

[emilianomk]

I think that if mk wont be touring in south america the answer will be something like, "Im afraid no south america this time" but today answer makes me think that mark will be in south america

According to ER, the Dylan tour has been confirmed in a Brazilian newspaper! 

[Love Expresso]

I really hope MK is NOT doing another BD tour and that was it. I could perfectly live with another two or three months BD/MK double header tour, this time
US and South America, because then I would not have to care about getting tickets and holidays etc... Then he should release his album in Sept/Oct as
usual and come back next year to do a "real" MK tour...

[Pottel]

I really hope he does just that.

[superval99]

If MK does a tour this year with BD - fine, but I'm really looking forward to a proper MK tour next year that I can enjoy, without having to share him with Bob!
