Just announced this morning.Not the news i was hoping for about a top guitarist at the Albert but maybe of interest to a few of our members on here.

Thanks for the Info!
Sadly 2015 won't be what 2013 was.
Mark had his week at the RAH directly after Eric's week.
Still hoping for a couple of nights next year...

Same here Still hopeful of a couple of nights between the Birmingham and Milan gigs.

As Eric spoke about retiring this is great news.

Great for EC Fans, but not that great for MK fans as May 15 and 16 will collide

I don't think Mark would appear on the edge to launch a new tour but a surprise guest appearance on May 18?

I'd like to be there and do an EC-14-18 / MK-15-16-17 sandwiche. If only I can get good seats  , that will be difficult as EC is way more popular than MK.

I did not plan to do much concerts next year.

seeing as the 02 hasn't sold out yet I think the chances of RAH are receding if they were ever there to start with

I doubt very much that the O2 sells out...

If they want to announce any RAH date they would wait until it sells at least 3/4 of the capacity, or maybe they announce it anyway, but not within the UK dates, maybe in june as another batch of dates, in that free dates...

think he might stick RAH dates say in October before he goes (if he goes) to united states as like a 3-4 night warm up in London before he flys across there

That would be perfect!

That would be perfect!

Even more perfect for me would be September!

Eric Clapton has additional RAH dates before and after Mark's show at the O2.
So if you come to London for MK you can also enjoy EC.
And Eric does not block the Hall for Mark's free dates 25th-27th...

40 minutes of queeing on RAH site starting with waiting ticket in the 2000 figure although I had already queued earlier and had been able to get in after a while.
In the meantime other online ticket outlet being instantly sold out.
During these 40 minute I was expecting if not already sold out that only these worst seats would be remaining.

To my surprise I ended with quite good seat (Arena B left side + Stall K) considering the high level of demand for tix.

I gave up for the extra show, I am already out of budget and so happy to be able to attend God next year...

I'm so sad to hear about Jack Bruce dying.   In Cream he was the one I couldn't take my eyes off, not EC!    So sorry, RIP Jack!
