Do festival shows count as a tour date?

They all mention the tour in their websites, so I definitely think they count.

Summerfest and the Plains of Abraham show would count just like Britney's Femme Fatale (Summerfest) and Madonna's MDNA Tour (Plains) show did.

Bluesfest wouldn't since there will be other performers on the same stage during the day before she goes on.

I hope she's going to announce something during the upcoming weeks about the tour. We actually don't know anything (only the stage). I want more rehearsal pictures ...

I'm mildly content with seeing the stage. I would like to see what it's like in real life though.

We most likely won't get a gross for the festival shows though, it usually doesn't get revealed

[toanythingtaboo]

Thanks guys!

So they'll add the gross/attendance to artRAVE as long as it's a solo/special set and not a Glastonbury type of festival?

Will be quite a nice boost then, no? Someone said it was 90k capacity or something?

That's what I thinking yeah. The event isn't finalized for Ottawa so it might be a solo show for Gaga. I've only been to one other show there where the main stage was booked by one artist.

The Plains of Abraham had about 70,000 for Roger Waters and Madonna when they went so the capacity will depend on the stage layout etc.

Summerfest is in an amphitheater, and according to their site holds about 23,000

But didnt LiveNation mention something about the gross and attendance of the Summerfest thing in that Billboard article?

It is a stadium date where Justin Bieber had his concert and Justin Timberlake will have his concert. But I'd expect her to book TT Arena where MDNA tour happened, this way the ticket prices will be really expensive.

Turkey rumours were flooding the net before the Athens date... Slay.

Are the Australian dates selling?

I'm really confused why there is only one date in Japan so far.

Maybe they're testing the market? if that date flops they'll scrap the whole asian Leg?

I wonder if she'll have a South Korea date again. Bruno Mars just had his concert there and it did really well.

The Asian slayage won't happen this time around. I wonder why tho. Maybe the want to tour again after a new release so they pull huge numbers.
Remember the Japan slayage? It seems like a 'small' tour, I wonder why is that...

[Liberdade mi amor]

Or maybe the team is waiting to see how tickets will do when the tour kicks off... When hype builds maybe they will add dates, who knows at this point.

It costs a lot of money to ship a tour to Asia and the Pacific. Ms Germanotta will need to see whether she can fully sell out the few dates she announced there first, as it has been slow selling for even single date city arenas in Australia. It's weird because with the BTW castle tour she did multiple city dates but now can't even sell out one night shows.

It's just about financially making it work. It would be silly to announce a whole heap of dates and then have to cancel them because it wouldn't make money.
