News: Tour Date Update

While tour dates have not yet been announced (though, with the upcoming iTunes pre-sale three weeks away, at the end of May, it can’t be much longer before the North American dates are made public), a few more likely dates have surfaced via means both nefarious and not.

First, and most conclusively, the Starlight Theatre in Kansas City, Missouri states right on its website that Tori will be playing there on Thursday, July 23rd at 7:30 PM. Ticket sale information is to be announced, according to their site. Given the hard info on their site, we’ve gone ahead and added this date to the tour page. (And those fearful that Tori would only be playing the cities in the iTunes pre-sale, take heart! KCMO was not on the list so it’s likely she’ll be doing a wider scale tour than the pre-sale cities would indicate!)

Less convincingly, several people reported seeing a listing on Ticketmaster for a show at DAR Constitution Hall in Washington, DC on Saturday, August 1st. Alas, the listing is no longer up and was removed before we had a chance to spot it. It’s certainly not uncommon for these sorts of listings to appear and disappear — and they often prove true in the end — so denizens of the District, keep an eye on Ticketmaster and hope for the best.

We’ve also heard rumors of a show at the Bank of America Pavilion on Monday, August 17th. A trusted anonymous source slipped us the news earlier this week but now some ticket resellers have started listing VIP tickets for a concert on that date. So, while that date does seem pretty likely, we’d recommend waiting for official word before splurging on any reseller site.

Finally, several European dates have appeared on last.fm and iLike: September 25th at Stadthalle in Vienna, October 9th at Dom Muzyki i Tańca in Zabrze (Poland), October 10th at Sala Kongresowa in Warsaw and March 3, 2010 in Sofia, Bulgaria. While both sites allow for fans to submit events, the Vienna and Polish dates sound reasonable and we’ve gotten reports about that Warsaw date from another source as well but, again, we wouldn’t make plans just yet. On the other hand, the Sofia date seems pretty suspect as the tour is supposed to conclude before the end of the year.

In any event, while speculation is lots of fun, we’re sending telepathic messages to ToriAmos.com and Everything Tori to get dates officially announced as soon as possible!

And on a related topic: we’re told the iTunes pre-sale passwords will be e-mailed to those eligible to receive them closer to the actual pre-sale date. So, do not be alarmed that you haven’t gotten yours yet.
