The New York date is the only one I'd really be able to get to AND it also happens to be on my birthday, ugh the temptation. Also this schedule is no joke, goddamn.
This is such a worrying schedule tbh. With all the flying, rehearsals, jetlag and concerts that are probably over 2 hours, I'm worried someone is going to get hurt. tbh I would have rather they tour the whole year with these dates spread out so they are able to get some proper rest in between some of these dates.
It's a packed schedule for the boys as well as the staff. Hopefully they get some kind of break afterward.
It's weird, I feel like this kind of busy would be okay,if groups weren't already doing a ton of stuff before touring starts, but they jump from music shows and other promotions right into it and sometimes start working on new albums at the same time.
as tempted as i am to book the UK date I don't reeeally want to give TS any of my money (and I've just looked and the event isn't even on The Coronet's website atm). I mean, that London-Russia stint, hell no. At least they're getting jetlag breaks between continents I guess.
still, wow at all these different countries. i wish other kpop groups would go to even half as many varied destinations.
I'm laughing at how their European stops are all over the place. It looks kinda funny if you look at the order. However, everything is pretty close, 2-3 hrs by plane max.
What put me on alert is I saw the NA Tour dates first without the rest of them. I immediately began to question LA to Vancouver, back down to Dallas, and then back up to Chicago, and then seeing the dates among everything.....hmm.
Def wanna go see and support them, but these dates... like Chicago/Toronto/New York and London/Warsaw/Dusseldorf being back to back with not even a day's break in between?? :/
It's not a concern about distance, really; just that they're doing three shows back to back from April 23-25 and May 13-15 amid a very intense schedule. I just don't see why they couldn't space the dates out more.
Ikr? I worry about the latter a lot. I didn't like hearing about how Exo had to do it. Though I've been seeing that Chanyeol's been wanting to come back to The States, lol.
Lol has he? I don't pay enough active attention to Exo to be a stan anymore haha. Companies need to tour idols and just keep them there, there should not be any flying back and forth for a one day schedule
Funny enough, I saw it in passing while in a tag that had nothing to do with him or even the initial person it was about, lol. I guess he commented on a K-rappers' IG post, joking about how he wanted to be on the scheduler or something so he could go back, lol.
It's a really crazy schedule, and I can't help but be worried, but I sort of understand at the same time? They want to reach out to their (largely) international base and make sure that they get one more album in korea in, by the end of the year too. They have to stay active to get back in the game....
But I'm sort of happy to be going to the first show of the tour, I hope we can make them really happy :D
i just saw ticket prices speculation and tbh i'm reconsidering heh :/ i have more urgent needs than seeing bap and their cheapest tickets are supposed to be around 400-500zł? i (maybe partially) understand why but it's way to much for me ;_;
where did you see it? o: can you link me? I was hoping there will be some meet & greet option but seeing how they need to go to Germany asap I'm starting to doubt it :( and I prepared myself to spend lots of money on their concert OTL
I like BAP but do they even have the demand anymore to fill this many dates? And these dates are all so close together, they won't be able to do anything else. I'm worried.
Also, so much for BAP rebuilding their Korean fanbase.
I'm worried for their Russian concert after that thing with Cross Gene selling only 100+ tickets and the whole CIS fandom reposting the announcements in all kpop-related communities just to get 500 tickets sold and save the fanmeet. (I don't know how it ended, but the struggle was real.) B.A.P are much bigger there, but concidering how expensive kpop concerts are and how poor people are right now, I am concerned. Well, maybe people from the CIS will buy it.
First of all OF COURSE LJ HAD TO EAT MY COMMENT SMH
TS will never learn I guess. Squinting really hard at the Apr 23~25 & May 13~15 stops. This schedule is nagl to me but Yongguk has always looked so genuinely happy ever since they came back so idek w/e the best for them I guess. Also as much as this looks like a legit world tour it just feels weird that there are only 2 SEA countries and no China stops at all. Not even HK? Good luck tho.
Much as I love this group, the one time I saw them in concert it was probably the worst experience I've had to date at a concert, so I won't be purchasing a ticket.
Aside from that though, I see a lot of 'but these places can be accessed by a short flight' for the European countries. Be that as it may, flying off any kind, even when it's short, takes a toll on the body, and that close together, it's really concerning. I had a trip where I had four short, domestic flights over the span of three days and even though I did exercising and stretching both on the flights and in the hotels, my legs were still swollen and I slept almost two days straight after because I was so exhausted. This hectic of a schedule is very worrying, and it leaves a bitter taste in my mouth regarding TS because we've seen this shit before, and we're seeing it again even after the lawsuit. Concert problems aside, I'm not condoning their treatment of their artists by giving them money to that extent of a sum. I'll buy their albums, but that's about it unfortunately.

I know Himchan said they rested enough and he's glad to be busy, but this is kinda ridiculous.
