Opportunities to meet the band members?

Post by Hartmut »

Hi Jarkko,

I assume there will be no opportunities for fans to meet the members of the band before the concerts in Cologne and Berlin?

Hoping otherwise:

I discussed the "meet and greet some of the band members" arrangements today in Berlin, and looks like there will be some also in Europe, starting in the near future. Details to follow.

I'm afraid the Antwerp concert is too near, maybe a bit later.

Michelle Grimaldi said she will arrange something as soon as the band is adjusted to the European time. They arrived in Cologne really late, and were still in Berlin suffering from jet lag (time difference between LA and Germany is 9 hours). We will keep you updated!

Unfortunately I have now heard that the meet & greet arrangements are not possible in Europe. The travel and concert schedule is too hectic, and now, after the new US leg has been added to the itinerary, the band members seem to be busier than ever. They each have other things going on in their lives, and only a few hours every now and then for their private matters.
Things may be different in USA in October and November - there are plans for special Early Entrance for members who have to come early to the venues to pick up their Will Call tickets. In Europe we didn't have any forced will call tickets at all.
