Perfect Celebrity 1,501 Posted February 10, 2013 Author Share Posted February 10, 2013 Please let North America be in the summer so I can actually go see Gaga this time :/. The reason I couldn't go to the BTWB is because it interfered with school :/. I even won Skype's BTWB contest and my mom didn't let me go Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bumblebee 2,528 Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 It's funny how Gaga seems to break another old tradition in the music industry: artist usually use tours as the best promotional instrument for the album. Gaga, however, didn't quite promote Born This Way with this tour: the album received its promotion during her short promo trips in Europe, Asia and Australia in 2011: UK: Radio 1, Graham Norton Show, Paul O'Grady Germany: Next Top Model Italy : Europride Event France: multiple TV appearances, including the Cannes film festival. Then Asia got its part, too, with Singapore, Taiwan, Japan. Then she did a show in Australia + turned up in the nightclubs there. So by the time the tour started, the album was almost a year from its release date, and by the time the tour hit North America Born This Way got 1 year 8 months old. So you see, it depends on what they would like the next tour to be like. If they want it to be a big promo tool, then she should obviously try to start it as soon as possible. But for Gaga a concert tour now seems to be just the expression of her artistic self and performance persona. It's just a pure joy of bringing the fans together and has nothing to do with promo. No matter how old Born This Way is, she is still filling the biggest arenas of the USA and Canada, and packed up some huge stadiums in 2012. If she sticks to that (cause I honestly see no way she starts another tour in 2013), then April/May 2014 would be fine. I only wish she did USA+Canada in summer, and played some kick-ass European stadiums in summer, too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's like she uses the album to promo the tour! For the ARTPOP tour I don't want her to wait so long. Two or three months after the album would be great IMO, definitely not eight and a half like the BTWB. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brooke Hoegan 1,018 Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 well am I the only one who thinks that it should be as soon as possible ? IF album is good, there is no need to kill momentum of it by waiting with tour 8 months... it's so much better when people come to a show and hear FRESH songs, not songs from last year... Monster Ball started immediately after album was released and she still had enough time to release singles so that was perfect + if tour starts on 2014, when will we get the 5th album? in late 2015? :roll: it should start THIS summer Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
