My personal bet is no French promo this time and only 2 dates.

He may well go back to The States as he did that with the Emmy tour.

Maybe some 2013 dates in australia or elsewhere if there's room in the schedule

Well if it is with MK it'll be something like this I'd imagine:
CenturyLink Center, Omaha
Target Center, Minneapolis
Kohl Center, Madison
Bradley Center, Milwaukee
United Center, Chicago
--------------------------------------------------------

These are all large arenas, they each have capacity of upwards of 18,000. When is the last time MK played North American venues of this size? Would have to be in the DS era. I suspect it's been a long time since BD played in these size arenas as well.  Not being familiar with the European venues that MK & DS visited last year I don't know how large an audience they played to each night.

I would be (unhappily) surprised if MK & BD played in venues this large in NA. Does anyone else think that the tour will be in large arenas in NA?

Well, the european venues they visited last october/november has big capacity, probably around 8.000 and 15.000, I didnt checked everyone of them but I think some of them were quite big, hockey, basket, multipurposes arenas...

Its true that in US and Canada MK always plays theateRs and venues like that and they are always venues much smaller than the ones he fills in Europe, but if playing with Dylan, they had to acomodate audience for both artists, or choose venues with big bars so the fans from BD and/or MK can spend their time there while the other is playing 

By the way, the thing about monday, would it be an official anouncement or just that we will get more rumours?
