Over on the ER forum was another hint:
Fall tour with MK confirmed according to an unnamed man working for Bob.
I know it's neither completely new nor absolutely confirmed but still so nice a prospect for the second half of this year!

Fall tour, in North America, or in Europe, or both?
Please ask if you can  ;)
You might get lucky, now and then

All the talk was only about a fall tour in the US, unfortunately.

In Europe ? You're a funny guy jbaent. But you're right to keep the faith. :)

As I have been saying for months, my own sources (who are pretty good) have said that MK and BD have reserved space in their diaries for a tour together this year and this autumn/fall in North America seemed most likely.

Both of them have new albums in the works. If those are released by then, which seems a decent bet, a tour of fairly major venues to support the release would be an eminently sensible move.

Hakuna Matata from one at ER sat on a plane back from the Mexico bob shows and in front of him sat a guy talking about him working in the BD tour crew. After asking he got the following reply:
late summer U.S. ballpark tour - currently booking venues, but he could not confirm whether this will be a ballpark tour or not
fall U.S. tour with MK - confirmed

I'm not going to give away his name or what he does. He was a super nice guy, very warm, down to earth and open to questions!
any Knopfler, Floyd or Dylan will do....

Exciting stuff,  but how will this affect MK's normal schedule?  Two US tours in the space of 12 months is unlikely.

I thought about it lately: Following the diary of the 2010 tour, it seems to me that the US are still a little "difficult" to tour for Mark - only very small venues, not that big audiences, maybe very expensive because of much travelling etc. So maybe MK kills two birds with one stone: Maybe a slightly longer set list as the 70 minutes from 2011, and that might it be for America. And after that, he tours Europe with a hopefully much longer set list - and without Bob!  ;)

Is it confirmed that the band will join, or will it Not simply be Mark as an extra Special additional Guitar Player? Did Guy confirm anywhere the band's participation?

It will be just like Autumn 2011 Europe, but Stateside now.

I would put a little bet on this order of events:

new album release late summer/early Autumn
promos in London
MK/BD tour of USA and album promotion in States, Autumn 2012
MK tour of Europe early/spring 2013.
