This section will tell the first city of the tour on Thursday and will be the Old Ideas 2013 tour section.

If I am right, do I win something?

Is it to cope with the comments following the announcement that Jarkko has converted and become a JLS fan and therefore will merging the forums.

I know... photos from all the concerts since 2008. ( and then a concert for forum members only !!! And, as there are so many forum members Leonard will have to give a concert country by country!! - oh, went off into a dream there for a min.!)

I have updated the first message of this thread with the following:

This new section will open with a major announcement on Wednesday, January 9,

My oh my. ..now I don't know if I should be excited or scared!!

You said it's not a new album, & you said it's "nothing like" a southern hemisphere tour - does that mean just not about the southern hemisphere, or does that mean not about touring at all?? Because if it's not about touring or an album, yet it's a "major announcement" - then I think I might be scared. . .

Wow! I'm thinking that this is likely to be a North American-focused announcement, given the local time in each time zone.

Ronaldson, I love that idea! I was also thinking perhaps a spring or fall tour; & if the location is North America - that would be beyond exciting!!

Looking at the time for the announcement this seems to be an American and or Canadian tour. So i go with what Ronaldson has said.

Fingers crossed for all our friends over there!

Yes!! I knew it.

I will be there. The 2013 U.s.Gigs.

Poor jarkko, he must wonder if his posts actually get read by some folks

Am I to infer that there is no chance of concerts in New Zealand? We need him.

*sniff*

It's the middle of the night and I can't sleep both from the disappointment that I don't seem to be able to arrange to make the concert in Lucca, wondering where the next gig will be, and now in anticipation of "the announcement" in a few hours time. On the basis of what Jarkko has already ruled out ......Marriage?? Just a thought.

UPDATE: I think Jarkko is sleeping so I am making this pre-announcement. Information has been leaked by another source, so AEG has given permission to release the following concert dates now. There will still be an announcement tomorrow with additional dates/info but for now, this is what I can tell you. -- Marie
