Hey guys, I thought it might be fun to see what music tour(s) you all would put together if you could. No restrictions on alive, dead, broken up, new supergroup, et al. Who would you put on the tour? Who would headline and how much time would each act get? Would you play clubs, arenas, coffee houses, colleges, etc.? What would you name the tour? If you can think of what the stage would look like with sets and/or banners, that would be cool....I couldn't. I hope you all enjoy this thread. I look forward to your responses. Mr. @3nwpro , my friend, this one has your name all over it  Thanks in advance. VPV P.s. You don't have to put a price if you don't want to. I would make all mine free shows for everyone (all ages). Keepin' It Native Tour: Corporate Avenger, ABK, Redcloud, Night Shield and Rez Heads are openers on altering legs of the tour. This would be a club tour (undetermined amount of cities), but would also play Reservations across the U.S. 5 hour (1.5,1.5,1,1) show not including elaborate stage setups (CA and ABK especially). Meet and Greet after the show on Reservations, but before on club shows. They would stay the night on the Reservations after the shows. We're Back! Tour: Twisted Method, Switched, Pressure 4-5, and an opener from an unsigned nu-metal band. The show would last 4.5 hours (1.5,1.25,1,.75), not including set up of stage sets (TM would have an elaborate setup) between acts. This would be a club tour (undetermined amount of dates). Meet and greet before the show. College Invasion Tour 2018: Stroke 9 and Eve 6. Each band plays 1:30. Alternating headline spot each night. They would play 10 colleges, picked at random, cultivated from a post asking for requests from the students which places they should play. Meet and greet after the show. |

How’s it going bud? Apologies for the delay, I had laptop issues (like you, I wrote a reply and then it crapped itself on me, so I have to start again) ☹
Anyway – well, as you know, I appreciate the effort you put into these threads and know that you created this one with me in mind, so thanks again. \m/
I can only comment on the touring aspects of Australia, knowing just how big this country is and how difficult it is for big-name acts to fully tour it, apart from the usual cities (primarily on the east coast, namely Brisbane, Sydney and Melbourne)
I have a few tours in mind, with a few being somewhat plausible if the culture of heavy music was a bit more conducive to support on a wider scale here in Australia…however it seems that will never be the case, and instead festivals are the next best thing for Australian music fans to see the bands they want.
However…heavy music festivals themselves in Australia have a short shelf life, with the exception of Metal For The Brain, however even that ended in 2006. Since then, we’ve had Livid, Overcranked, Soundwave and another one I’m forgetting…anyway, moving on…
As for my (somewhat selfish tours) – with the goal in mind to support heavy music in Australia (and New Zealand, seeing as they’re our closest neighbours and I’ve nothing bad to say about New Zealand whatsoever) on a local and hopefully global level. To this end, there would be four concurrent tours, with each tour having four bands with a distinct sound play to receptive areas of Australia and New Zealand (again, wishful thinking).
(I would like to add that I’m basing the tours on the structure of several concerts I saw out of numerous tours from 2006 that I felt were the best value for money (more than two international acts, essentially headliner, co-headliner and main support, along with a local opener)
(The inspiration in question:
[Anthrax/Soilwork/Killswitch Engage] + local opening support band
[Fear Factory/Devildriver/Dry Kill Logic] + local opening support band
[Killswitch Engage/Lamb of God/Unearth] + local opening support band
****************************************************************************************************************************************************
Who would you put on the tour?
Parkway Drive, Jinjer, Architects and While She Sleeps
Emperor, Chthonic, Abigail Williams and Astriaal
At The Gates, Hate Eternal, Dir En Grey and Born of Osiris
Behemoth, Psycroptic, The Amenta, Psychrist
Who would headline and how much time would each act get?
Headliner: Parkway Drive (1 hr). Co-headliner: Jinjer (40 mins). Architects (30 mins). While She Sleeps (25 mins)
Headliner: Emperor* (1 hr). Main Support: Chthonic (35 mins). Abigail Williams (30 mins). Astriaal (30 mins)
Headliner: At The Gates** (1 hr). Hate Eternal (45 mins). Dir En Grey (35 mins). Born of Osiris (30 mins)
Headliner: Behemoth (1 hr). Psycroptic (40 mins). The Amenta (35 mins). Psychrist (30 mins)
* - Emperor would play 'In The Nightside Eclipse' in its entirety
** - At The Gates would play 'Slaughter Of The Soul' in its entirety
Would you play clubs, arenas, coffee houses, colleges, etc.?
I would want the tours to be in arenas like The Metro Theatre in Sydney. I’ve seen so many bands there and it’s a wonderful venue – you’re never too far away and the sound is always crisp. Arenas in that vein would be ideal – there are some clubs that might do the trick as well (can only base off of Sydney and Melbourne) but still – I think the experience should be in an arena.
What would you name the tour?
(Naturally every tour will mention ‘Down Under’ because Australia. LOL)
“Against The Stream With Ire Down Under” - Parkway Drive, Jinjer, Architects and While She Sleeps
“An Elegy Of Emperial Wrath Down Under” - Emperor, Chthonic, Abigail Williams and Astriaal
“The Flames Of The End Down Under” - At The Gates, Hate Eternal, Dir En Grey and Born of Osiris
“As Above, So Below Down Under” - Behemoth, Psycroptic, The Amenta, Psychrist
****************************************************************************************************************************************************
Anyway bud, hope this is in line with what you wanted, I had a good time thinking up this stuff, and Lord knows how I wish it could have actually happened…either way, thanks again, and I hope you’re well. Have a great weekend and I’ll be in touch in due course.
Cheers

@3nwpro and Mark MartinThank you so much for replying gentlemen. Awesome responses. I cannot believe you had it all wiped like I did Mr. Reager. That hurts. I always appreciate the hard work buddy. This was definetely written with you in mind. \m/ Nice to see our metal thread brethren in here, Mr. Kenlowski. I have read several of your posts and it seems we also have similar tastes. I would definetely support these shows coming around. Now it is time to make them happen... VPV |
