European tour 2025

[CherryBombs&Gasoline]

They have basically been touring nonstop since 2021, so taking some time for friends and family seems reasonable. They’ll probably play some one-off shows (most likely festivals since that seems to be their thing) in the U.S., but I don’t expect them to be back in Europe before 2028/29.

Time to bring back The Longshot!

A Pinhead Gunpowder tour would be really cool though.

Just as long as it isn't the same amount of time off as it was between AI and 21CBD I think we'll be good. 🩷

You know I'm going to say it. It was amazing. It was surreal seeing them in front of me and not in front of a screen. I still have not realized this.

They played every song I wanted to hear live after all these years not that whatever they played I wouldn't sing along and be jumping around.

The summer here is very warm, we're talking about 40 degrees and we were there in the hot concrete since 3pm with the sun burning on our backs. But at the end of the day I was in the very front and could see our boys clearly so it was all worth it. I really had the time of my life.

So glad you got to see them, they really are so amazing live.  I feel them slipping away from us in Europe, am sure they will be glad to go home but they feel so far away.

I feel the same way…🥲 But maybe Billie will spend some time in London with his son‘s family during their upcoming „free“ time. Not that far away then…

And this cute video is perfect to make the sadness go away for a while!🥰

Looks like they have enjoyed the tour. 🩷 I loved the deep cuts they kept changing from show to show. I miss going to concerts already but with all the touring they've done I get that they need a break. Whenever they're ready to come back so are we. 🤗

Tre‘s wife Sara posted this video of the European tour on IG. Of course it’s mostly about her own experiences and family but there are some nice scenes with the band too.

Ah, post show depression.  Save for next tour is my only advice but many here feel your pain.  🤟🏾💚

My bank account is happy that there are no other tours / shows in sight, but the rest of me is pretty sad. This tour was so much fun, with the traveling to new cities meeting so many fellow fans, and of course the shows themselves and the deep cuts we got

It looks like they had a good time. 🩷 I like that she included some stuff from Oslo. The boat trip looked fun.

Missing the shows though. 🥺

This tour was the first time I had a „queuing experience“ and more contact with other fans, and it wasn’t until afterwards that I realized that this was a big part of what made it so special. So whenever they’ll be back, VIP tickets, queuing and WhatsApp groups again for me, please!🙂

[Tomcat20]

We should really give the band a break now. And our wallets too, haha.

I think this whole VIP thing kind of ruins a lot of the excitement beforehand … but I guess we’ll have to get used to it for future tours. It’ll probably get even more expensive.

i remember the old Idiot club for just a few bucks that let you get early entry etc

not a fan of all the VIP FOS GoldenCircle stuff nowadays ...

most of the shows i went too that had this kind of stuff have been pretty lame, you get all the influencers etc at FOS who constantly film, and the other fans back in the general standing area, but atleast its them who make some effort to jump around etc

I know!

It's hard being back in an environment where "they played [insert here deep cut song title] 😭" is a sentence and a feeling that require a lot of explanation, which will just be received with a lot of eye rolls and/or confused expressions 😂

I can’t confirm this at all. Have you been at any of the European shows? At the ones I went to, the FOS area as well as the VIP queues were full of crazy dedicated fans. No influencers to be seen, or I didn’t recognize them.😅

Agreed.

I didn't get VIP but when I saw the line outside the venues and those who had barrier, it was a lot of people I recognized from previous tours. Maybe influencers is a problem with other bands but I can't say that was the vibe I was getting from the shows I went to.

This was my experience at the Paris show last year. I had a normal ticket and queued all day, only to end up in second row behind people who I only heard singing along to major hits, who didn't jump even when Billie encouraged people to do so (rude!), and one lady who was just filming the whole show, but at least was nice to people around her, and one guy who told me off for brushing against him when waving my arms during Bohemian Rhapsody. That's what made me decide to go for VIP at least for the Vienna shows, because I thought those tickets will go to someone anyways, so better they go to me than to some casual listener who buys them because they're the only tickets left.

For this tour though, the people in the VIP queue were largely the same people I had met in the normal queue last year: people following the band through different countries and different tours through the years. If these folks want to spend a lot of time recording the show, that would not be my choice (I normally only record during one or two songs, and always songs that I've heard live a handful of times before and are not among my favorites), but it's theirs and I respect that, and I'm even grateful for that, because I know someone will capture the cool moments. And really, if you see their videos afterwards you can hear them singing along and freaking out 😅 so they're not really made with that influencer mindset of having a perfect "instagramable" video I think.

I do know of people who bought Welcome to Paradise VIPs for every show just to film, but I wasn't affected by that with Calling All Saviors tickets. Good vibes all around and I knew most of the people behind me in the queues as the same dedicated fans I've been seeing for years. Some of them had also bought WTP tickets for one or two shows. I still don't agree with VIP tickets but I don't think it's a guaranteed crowd killer.
