You can't imagine how great it is !  ;D
We've been so desperate so far.

But it's not finished yet.
There's the last spanish date to confirm and I have a greater hope now for a swiss date.
Anyway there's still some place for more french, swiss and italian dates.

quite strange anyway, it happens the same with the spanish date to be announced.

Some spanih friends called directly the promoter and they told him they were dealing with the city hall of that town about the concert, and also the promoter, that said the same thing. All the spanish dates are announced apart of that one, that it

I would say things are very clear now thanks to Guy, though not confirmed or still secret.

According to the tour route and past tours, there are missing dates in July : could be something like 1-2 dates in Italy, 1-2 in Switzerland, 2-5 in France and 1 in Spain. We just got 2 in France, we know it's possible now.
Festivals are our best hope and our worst nightmare.
They all release their program in March or April.
The artist can't announce anything before. That's it.

Did Guy forget it and made a mistake ? I don't think so.
The french part of the tour is unusual and happened to be a very unfair misunderstanding between MK and his fans.
While MK wanted to please the french fans with wonderful venues, we just had the feeling that he had decided to avoid us.
Taratata and the so late Bercy announcement did not help... Very unpleasant for all parties.
They recently understood their mistake in France : the french tour can not only rely on last minute dates, especially in July.
So unfair for the true MK fans who are trapped.
Guy was the only solution to officially break the ice, give some hope while staying unofficial.

I think it's different in Italy and Spain : already have 4 or 6 dates, a bit more comfortable but I really hope that there will extra shows there (you deserve it jbaent !)
 
Switzerland is another situation : the quota is ONE show. Festivals rule the world. Must wait.
Which festival ? I heard it could be Paleo in Nyon but unfortunately it doesn't fit with MK, especially compared to Lyon and Nimes. Not the kind of venue he is looking for. Would have been ok for the early DS. I see one only possible candidate : Montreux (2-17 july). If I had to bet, it  would be on this one but I'd better save the money for the tickets ! Anyway, for the Lake Geneva area, it's this year or never.

Of course all the great Spanish fans deserve it . But that means YOU deserve it.  :)
You're right, things can be strange with that tour. You must keep hoping. I'm sure you do. ;)
This was my mistake : I was so upset until the Lyon announcement. Now I'm wondering if there won't too many shows in my area. Ok, just one for the moment, but that's already a lot. There must be a swiss date or a 2nd night in Lyon. Need to be double lucky also ::) 
You have more dates than ever and it's a pity you can do only one.  :'( 
Also paradoxal :  there's never been so few dates in France and Lyon would be the first time I could see MK in France since DS ! 

It only a question of luck. It's the Get lucky tour.
