I wouldn't expect a traditional mulit-city tour, but maybe a selection of cities...LA, Chicago, NY/Toronto....on this side of the Atlantic anyway...

I guess no one knows at this time, it's all expeculation.....

Carpe Diem !

Well they did for their first two right??  I wouldn't be overly surprised, but I would definitely go if they hit Toronto *wink, wink*

Time And Tension - My prog band, check out mine I'll check out yours ;)

My Youtube - My monthly guitar improv videos. 

According to a Spanish interview to Neal Morse they are considering it

read the interview here: http://www.rafabasa.com/index2.php?url=/modules.php?name=News&file=article&sid=8022

Sorry it is in spanish I would love to translate it to you but I have to work, so, sorry!

- Cuéntanos un poco los planes a largo plazo de TRANSATLANTIC. ¿La banda vuelve a ser estable? ¿Tenéis idea de continuar o miráis día a día sin plantearos demasiado el futuro?


No lo sé, pero yo creo que vamos más bien paso a paso y por tanto no estoy seguro de lo que ocurrirá después. Lo que sí es cierto es que hemos hablado de la posibilidad de hacer una gira, aunque todavía no hemos tomado una decisión sobre esto. Sobre un próximo disco, seguir con la actividad de la banda al 100%... no lo puedo asegurar.

Well, I will translate that for you but not the whole interview:

"- Tell us about the plans of TA Will the band be stable? Do you have the idea to go any further or are you looking day by day without looking too much the future?


I don't know, but I think we are moving step by step, so I'm not sure about what would happen next. What it is true is that we have talked about the possibility of a tour, but we have not taken any desicion right now about it. About a new album, we are going to follow the activity of the band 100%...I can't guaranted."

Note: since English is not my mother language excuse me for any mistake while translating, I'm sure someone will come with a better translation

I would definitely go if they came to Toronto. Hell, I'd even considering driving down to NY.

It would be interesting to see the setlist though. They'd have to be playing some pretty long-ass shows to be able to fit more than like, 2 songs considering the length of their new album.


Edit: Also, a live DVD. Shot in HD and released on Bluray. kthx.

obviously theyll tour australia because the market for it is huge. 

listen to australian prog: halcyon 

They'd have to be complete idiots not to...surely they recognize a gold mine when they have one

After the DT World Tour ends somewhere next year Mike will take a well deserved break for 2 days and start a new one with Transaltlantic.

I hope they come to one of the 3 prog fests they do each year in Pa.  I'd be there for sure, if it's any of the usual 3 (NEARfest, 3RP & ROSfest)

FoH

Goldmine? let's not go crazy here.   This isn't The Police reuniting.   At best they will barely break even or lose a little money if they do gigs.  Just like Neal Morse, Spock's Beard, FK, Marillion, any prog band you can think of.    I know Mike is involved and that does change things a little but they won't be doing Dream Theater numbers by a long shot.

Well, Mike said at the end of the "making of" DVD that they would like to plan a tour in 2010.
 
My guess is that they would build a limited tour (at least in the US) around a NEARfest headlining gig, but that is just pure specualtion on my part.

I would travel ANYWHERE in the United States to see them play. Fortunately, I live in the NYC area, so chances are that any tour, even if limited, would likely include a stop nearby somewhere.

Let's hope so. My guess is they'll do a 10 show or so North American tour around Nearfest, then head off to Europe for a month or so. Can't miss this one!
 
PS - Looking forward to getting The Whirlwind on Tuesday!

Drool !! I hope so, at least in the UK anyway

According the the bonus DVD........they are planning on it! 

I'd imagine it will be late next summer into early fall.... after DT does their spring headlining dates.

I've been to NM, SB and TFK gigs and the audience at the TA
European tour was significantly bigger than at any of those.

I hope so, maybe in europe.

I'd be alright if they didn't tour, but if they did, nothing would stop me from going to at least one show.

I'd love to have the opportunity to see this band.  I still need to hear the new album, but I also adore their older stuff, and I've heard very good things about the new album.

I'm assuming if they do tour, they'll probably pull a Porcupine Tree and just play the entire new album front to back.  What is it with massive album-long songs this year?

Quoted for truth

In a word: YES
We absolutely will.... 
 
It's just a matter of WHEN and WHERE....
 
The WHEN will be determined by when my DT schedule loosens up....
 
The WHERE will be determined by touring finances and offers. (It's likely it would be in limited markets, so if we cant come to you, try to come to us!)
 
It's all being discussed and looked at now, so stay tuned!!

YEAH.

Yeah!!!

That's awesome news.
Today's a good day

Cool.
 
I was at a Gino Vanelli show show at The Bear's Den at the Seneca Niagara Casino last Sunday in Niagara Falls, NY, and this venue would be perfect for a band like Transatlantic.  Intimate venue with 468 seats.  Every seat is good, and very close to the stage, which adds a layer of excitement to the show.  Niagara Falls is midpoint between Toronto and Rochester, NY, and 15 miles from Buffalo.
 


 
I could theoritically see someone here in Rochester booking Transatlantic at this German house place.

But this one bird didn't leave you, It stayed through the wintertime.
You can't hear it sing but you can hear it as it flies.
So don't you believe them? They'll destroy you with their lies.
They only see the obvious. They see the sun go down but they don't see it rise...

Awesome....I really hope they can make it to Europe or the UK because the US is a bit far.

Shiiiiinnneee on you craaaaazzzyyy diiaaammmooonnnddd

Well, hey, Nashville (where Neal lives) is just 90 minutes up the road from me...that'd be a start! :P

I never thought I'd fly somewhere just to see a band play - never thought I'd do that, but I will for this!
