OK.... if there are any Scottish forum members, please note that the tour is nearly booked now, and we still don't have a gig on the 14th October.... this could be Scotland, but we have no contacts or ideas for a venue.
If anyone can suggest anything, then now is the time. We have a few more days before we stop trying to book gigs, and start trying to play the music!
Is there anyone who can help? :)
OK.... I guess not.... :)
Can't believe I just registered to find no other Scottish Arena fan has responded here, there must be many more out there :o
Much of this is for future reference since most are already booked on the 14th October. Would love to be able to see the band in Scotland, but more than likely will be trecking to London in October to the Mean Fidler.
Cheers

You've obviously tried the Pallas boys for ideas...(?)
Anywhere in Glasgow would suit me fine.
The Renfrew Ferry was fantastic the last time.
What about 'Strawberry Fields' ?
Scottish fan here! :waves: Unfortunately I'm a loooong way away in the West Highlands and due to various commitments probably couldn't make a gig on 14th Oct. I'd love to finally come and see you chaps play a gig, but it won't be this time. I seem to recall from the Contagion tour diary that your gig at the Renfrew Ferry wasn't the best experience for all concerned, but don't give up on us yet. If Rush can sell out the SECC there must still be some kind of market for prog up here, just a question of finding the right promoter I 'spose (never easy! :( ).
Rush could sell out the north pole if they went there... ;D
I know of one great prog fan in Scotland, and he's a Glaswegian, so... go there, and at least ONE person will show up!!
(Much help I am...) :-[
Not going to happen I'm afraid.... we did try, but nothing came up. :(
Looks like one of our few days off will be in the UK.... time for some laundry then... ;)

Only if they play Freeze and By Tor & the Snow Dog.
sorry, sorry, sorry :-[

Ah well we tried, enjoy your day off Clive and the band. Maybe next time.
Looks like the airlines, railways or petrol companies will be the winners as we trek south to Shefield or London, though with the 'Visitor' set announcement, Holland is looking a good choice too in October :)

Northern ones in particular....
;D
It is a great shame that nothing was available for up here in Scotland. I am quite sure you will be able to attract a good crowd , last time wasn't a good choice for a date as it was Easter Sunday . Hope to see a return to Glasgow .
