There was no tour last album, but covid could have caused that. And no plans yet this album for a US tour, seems his days in the states may be over.

I could imagine him supporting a bigger band like he did in 2019 with The Who. Maybe 1 or 2 festivals?

He fucking better. COVID stopped the announcement of a USA tour. He was listed on a Boston musical poster pre COVID. Obviously he was plotting out more shows around that.
I’m sick of Terminal 5 for NYC gigs but I’m sure that is what he’s aiming at. Would be cool if he tackled Radio City. Good buzz. Easy late show visits. Would love a shot at SNL again.

He did tour on WMWN -- not extensively but he opened for The Who's west coast tour and did a live appearance on Fallon plus some in-store stuff. He intended to come back and was scheduled for several festivals in 2020 but that was made impossible by Covid.
There are a lot of things right now that complicate touring in the US ... things aren't quite normal, there are new insurance issues etcetera ... and that will get better. But also, he hasn't really announced a full touring schedule yet for 2022/23 so I wouldn't draw any extreme conclusions like "over forever."

I always like to catch Liam early on during a USA tour. The swagger and voice are always prime condition.

He should definitely do SNL (although they skew much younger now, and Liam doesn't have a young audience here, I think there's a way it could be sold) and a whole bunch of other stuff ... but it doesn't just happen. You have to build a campaign and commit to the time and I'm not sure he's up for that when he can have it much easier elsewhere.

I wouldn't worry too much. Covid 100% derailed his USA tour (like everything else). I'd put my money on 2023 for a a quick three weeks or month long tour before calling it. If Im correct, he hasn't announced any dates in Japan either, so there's still hope.

The fall of 2022 seems more ideal but I’m not sure his plans at this moment. |

hmm interesting.. love the positivity.. just feel like its a fruitless effort at this point in his career and I dont see a US tour in the future. Only possible thing I could see is the supporting role for a big act, which in theory could benefit liam.
He is a rock god basically everywhere else in the world, then comes here and plays venues that hold 3k. It's not like his US tour is going to win over america at his point in his career. Anyone going to a concert in america is already his fan. The cost of the touring effort on a few levels really outweighs the benefits.

I think it's a timing issue right now...we just had the spring festival season here in the US, the album wasn't out yet and there was no reason for him to come here. My money's on he'll show up on a few festivals either in the fall and arrange a short run around those, or wait until something similar Spring 2023, some anchor festival dates, and then a tour around those. The festivals are usually the $ dates that make it all feasible. He had those in 2020 pre-covid, and that of course went in the trash.
If we're looking at a Spring 2023 target though, that would make me hopeful for possibly some new music before then, even if an EP, since COYK will have run it's media cycle by then and there'd be no product to promote by then. I'd be curious to see him on a co-headline like NGHFB did with Smashing Pumpkins, but also that's a shorter set and probably more just a hits set. If he made the effort to do a tour here, since like someone else here said, everyone there's already gonna be a fan, I'd love to see him keep with the Roll It Over type inclusions.

With all the postponed concerts and tours worldwide it must be a minor nightmare at the moment to schedule a new one. To say nothing of that the Covid restrictions might come back in some countries after summer. *knock on wood* Maybe that's why for the moment they are sticking with festivals mainly, as well as Australia and South America? Because it's highly unusual that there is no word yet of touring Europe as well. Also, he is planning his big birthday bash somewhere then. I see there is a hole in his current schedule for October. So I do hope fervently he'll come visit us next year and then maybe also USA.

He does have a hole in his schedule in October -- unless he's planning to take October to recover from his birthday party!

There are also very considerable issues with insurance due to Covid -- extremely high cancellation rates, which are affecting many tours.
Touring in the USA is economically challenging for smaller acts to begin with and extra pressures don't help. Fall and winter might be more risky for tours if there are new strains, which some theorize, but literally no one knows.

Defeatist attitude. I mean obviously if you never come here and don't do promotion here your audience is going to shrink, not grow. How would it grow from that?
There are many reasons to come here -- including to promote his album and himself, thank his many loyal American fans, do some American media, and because he loves to play live. I've seen many incredible legends perform in 1500 seat theatres in Los Angeles. That's just how it is here unless you are certain legacy acts, a handful of 2000s bands or a pop star. He'll still be adored, just by fewer people in one spot. It's not some horrible thing to play small venues. Most bands love it. Even the Rolling Stones play 1000-seaters here once in a while for the thrill of it.

Why do I think you are in Austin, TX? Did I make that up?
If he does his own tour (not as a supporting act), he’ll likely do Chicago, maybe Phoenix. Don’t think he’s done anything in the South solo so far, though he was supposed to do Atlanta's Shaky Knees Festivals in 2020.

Earlier today I read that Mike Campbell and the Dirty Knobs are opening for the Who’s tour dates starting Oct. 14. My point is maybe Liam ends up supporting The Who at Belmont Park on October 7. I have no intel but I find it interesting that some of The Who’s dates do not have an opening act yet. Also pre-COVID Liam was listed on festival lineups in Atlanta and Tennessee. |

I’m sure they would have him if he wants but hope he doesn’t do that again, unless It is just a supplement to additional solo dates.
Saw it in 2019 twice – fun and a breezy gig for him but he plays for 30 minutes, people are milling around, and it’s not his crowd (too old over all) so I don’t think he’s selling a lot of records.
There’s a lot to gain from playing at least a few full shows in major cities if they are the quality of his recent shows in England. |

i think i've lived in four different states over my tenure on this forum, but TX hasn't been one yet! currently i'm in colorado but i'll be headed somewhere else (haven't decided yet) by the end of the year. phoenix would be cool. already flown to chicago for LG so i'd rather something new. i used to live in the south many years ago and we were so hard-pressed to get the gallaghers down there  now it's a tradition to travel for them. |

i do think he will schedule something. there are a lot of UK acts that are smaller than LG that are over here right now, even with the risk of canceling.

Ha! Must be someone else. Austin is a great city, though, so maybe one day. 
If he ever plays the Seattle/Portland area that would be a fun one -- there's a lot of enthusiastic fans up that way.

Liam is playing a Corona Music Festival in Mexico this November 19th. Gotta imagine that’s part of a North American tour.
