Yes, he could certainly go to the UK or Australia next. Canada hasn't been toured in depth since Straight Outta Lynwood (Internet Leaks just got 3 dates, all out west), so it could be in the running as well. I suppose there will be a break in between regardless. I'm curious whether it will end up being this year or next year when they head back out on the road (not that I'm expecting the world to end in 2012, haha). Right now I'm thinking the biggest factor in determining where and when he tours next is exactly how his new agent conducts business (like who his/her connections are, etc.) My usual routine for making tour predictions has been to study past tour patterns and speculate on areas that haven't seen action in a while, but I don't think that's necessarily going to help this time. My understanding is that there were a few new surprise venues booked on this tour and that some regulars were skipped. Maybe my prediction is that even more 'surprises' are in store for Alpocalypse (just hope they make sense and are not head scratching ones, both for Al and the band's sakes and the fans' sakes).

Especially for my sake...

He did Paradiso Amsterdam in the Netherlands after the UK .

Ugh

Okay, Al is officially touring into the month of October, and while it doesn't look good for the overseas crowds, Al will be returning to a different part of Canada this year! Still hoping Al's gonna push for some Texas stuff in September like last year, although having anything nearby even in October would be nice too.

I've recently decided I want to try and get the whole family out to a show, and with the Alpocalypse Tour coming to an apparent close, this would be a great way to get my mom and 5 year-old sister a dose of the real show; they're the only ones to have never been to one, and my little sister loves watching the antics from the live Blu-ray.

Do you guys think Al will do another famed Halloween show? Or will he cut the tour after mid-October?

Well, I don't remember the last Halloween show, but there is a show 3 days before his birthday, and he might pull through for a Halloween show.
We'll just have to wait and watch the mothership for more dates.

Two shows go on sale in 9 minutes. the 10/06 show and 10/19 show. eeeeeep!

Well with a child of trick or treating age, I don't see him doing Halloween shows for a few more years

True, True.
