Post your ideal Artpop world tour dates here!

[StrawberryBlond 14,527]

Yes, it's that time again where we post our tour schedule to make us feel like we're the tour planners/promoters. As the announcement is coming next month, most likely, we won't have fun with this much longer, so you have to make yours soon!

 

Here's mine. I included a good mix of arenas and stadiums and have put the estimated concert capacity beside each one. If she's really popular in one area, she gets stadiums, less popular, she gets arenas, which is how I think it should work (except for one country because there's literally nowhere else she could do the show except this huge area as the biggest arena's too small). Considering how much of a disaster the BTWB was in eastern Europe and some parts of Latin America, I'm not being as ambitious with the venues. I'd rather she played smaller venues and sold them out 100% as opposed to filling less than half a stadium. However, I have placed a standard on the venues: no venue less than 13,000. I think it's important that her smallest venues capacity increases with every tour. I also paid no attention to her situation with potentially being cancelled in some countries like Indonesia. Providing she's allowed everywhere, this is my vision:

Let me know what you think. I hope I haven't been too delusional with the dates. Some places were also very hard to judge because the biggest arena was too small and the smallest stadium was too big, so I had to go either way or find a park.

 

EDIT: Australia's, Hong Kong's and Estonia's dates have been altered after extended research.

[No Angel 128]

Thank you for adding my hometown of Milwaukee. I was hoping you wouldn't forget Brew-City! 

 

In all reality, she needs to begin the tour in North America just like you have it down! It's only right and would be fair to those who didn't get the chance to see her perform. If she starts in Europe, Asia, or anyplace else but North America again...

[HausOfGuy 10]

Well she will.

 

"I can’t wait to bring my tour back to America. We’re going to be announcing it very soon! I’ll make sure to call you, Carson,†she said.

Let me know what you think. I hope I haven't been too delusional with the dates. Some places wer also very hard to judge because the biggest arena was too small and the smallest stadium was too big, so I had to go either way or find a park.

I've made one of these before, so i know all about venues and capacities, and living in Australia, i can help you out.

No one would play the gabba, as it is round and seating would be too far away from the stage, she'd play Suncorp stadium instead

 

and the hong kong stadium bans anyone from doing concerts as its too close to residential building

 

and in tallinn, she only performed to 1/4 of the people you listed the capacity at

[TheOriginalOne 10,201]

She rarely comes to my city :cry:

[jman 56]

I believe if it is marketed correctly and priced cheaply, she can perform an almost stadium tour which would be better for her in the long run

[Griffin 6]

Not bad! 50,000 in Adelaide is literally impossible, like no one goes there and the people that do only play up to two tiny 9,000~ arena dates.

 

AND I LOVE YOUR LONG POSTS SO MUCH. 

[Blake 7,385]

Not here for stadiums in Australia.

[Fish 6,096]

it would make so much sense if she starts in MONTREAL, since its were the BTWB ended... She could make peace with some demons and really dive into her next chapter :)

[jman 56]

Not here for stadiums in Australia.

I don't believe this tour is right for stadiums in Australia, as Taylor Swift has just made history for her stadium tour that she is about to do. Maybe next tour can be stadiums. she needs to try and emulate what Pink has just done in Australia

[Blake 7,385]

it would make so much sense if she starts in MONTREAL, since its were the BTWB ended... She could make peace with some demons and really dive into her next chapter :)

That probably won't happen.
