Ok so it seems there are different infos on the new album. I think Guy mentioned they will be finishing it in March. Elsewhere it was noted that it would be released in march?
I suppose a March release would mean a tour during summer/fall with some dates being open air concerts. In case of a release say in september, that would mean an intention of getting a lot of sales and promotion up to christmas and then maybe first a tour in April 2019 and onwards.
Any thoughts on this or anybody got any reliable info on release dates/tours etc? I suppose there would be some rumours coming if they had started booking venues already?

No release in march. Album is finished in march. Guy confirmed this. Release probably in september.

Some amateurish fan site (I think Italian) was misinterpreting and wrongly spreading Guy's line about "completion in March" as release date on Facebook ... even after I mailed them pointing out at their mistake they still behaved enthusiastic and didn't change a thing. Like 12 years old...

I don't expect the new album to comes out before September 2018 and now that we know the Local Hero musical will be premieres in Spring 2019, I don't expect any tour dates after that happens, I think that MK will be involved in the production until before the premiere as the songs, music plus lyrics are written by him, and if anything needs last minute adaptation, will be MK work.
-
But it is possible that this year we will receive two MK albums :)

No... It's very unlikely that MK release the cd with the Local Hero musical before it's premiered, and that would be Spring 2019...
-
It is true. Local Hero - spring 2019. :smack I'm too big a dreamer :)
-
But it is still a beautiful perspective. Two new MK albums !!! Solo album September - October and six months later Local Hero - musical :)

Yes... and the Henrik Hansen dvd, and the announcement of the next tour and tickets presales, and also the anouncement of the musical dates and the ticket sales...
Quite a lot of things coming to get more and more nervous, LOL

"Quite a lot of things coming to get more and more nervous"
That's right ;)
-
September release, Spring start...I really hope the musical won't be a replacement for a tour. :think
-
Does anyone remember when the news about the new album reached us the fastest when the premiere was in September or October?
-
So september release meaning a tour from around april I suppose. Thats quite a long break from touring it seems. Could we hope for another double album like Privateering? Why not!

So tour starts around the same time the musical premiers? This bothers me that the musical may have replaced the tour.

Makes no sense to release a new album in september and then wait 8 months to go on on tour.....saying that at this moment i was thinking how much time was there between releasing Tracker and starting the tour :think
-
Usual Mk schedule was release in September and tour in April/may next year, except with GH, all the roadrunning and tracker, that were released in April and followed by a tour in may.
This time there is the musical between the release and the tour so...

So the album will be out end of march as per Guys diary??

I don´t know why Guy and the management think it is so important to tell the world when they are finished in the studio. This does not mean anything for those who are waiting for the CD. Finished in the studio is not the same as release date. March is only two weeks ahead... From Guy´s forum January 31:
Why can't people read? The comment on Mark's site clearly states the album will be completed in March. (In actual fact it will be completed at the end of March). This is not a release date.

Not sure what you mean Jarle ? Guy writes "new album delivery now scheduled for the end of March 2018" in todays diary. It would make sense promotion wise to get the album out coinciding with the hall of fame induction in April.

No idea here too, never heard any album of any band news regarding 'finished recording' date, everyone is interested in release date only

Guy in several other comments said end of march is only recording finishing date, not release date, release date will probably be 3-6 months later

Deliver it to the record company for releasing it, not delivering it to us, boriszhukov.

Actually before delivering it to the record company they deliver it to mastering to Portland and when they got it back mastered, they deliver it to the record company.

Can't see how mark can have a lengthy tour before the musical is up and running.Maybe a month or two in Europe in Sept-Oct

Agree. It can only be a GH style thing, which is good IMO. Either that or no tour at all because (assuming September release, spring tour) the musical starts same time as tour is supposed to commence and that I cannot see happening at all.
-
When will the Local Hero stuff be happening and for how long will it be running?
Could be that september/october/november will be used for promo gigs og TV promotion like we've seen previously. And then first a full tour in 2019.
I think its a bit of a pity, because it will probably mean that a next album would first be out in around 2021 if they use most of 2019 for touring (unless they already recorded material for two full albums ofcourse)
-

Starts in Spring 2019. I guess that it might be one or two weeks in Edinburgh and then move to London. How much time it would be running in London? No idea...

Probably. With previous records there were very few promo things so it doesn't interfere very much with working in the musical.
I won't expect any full tour until the musical starts in Sping 2019.

A next album? That's thinking too further! :lol

As MK work in the musical will be ended before the musical starts, the tour could starts after the musical premiere, as long as MK would attend the premiere of course and then he would be free to play his own tour.
I bet the musical premieres late April, then two or three weeks of rehearsals in early May and tour starts in late May directly in the UK.

With that RRHOF thing happening in April which will get lots and lots of attention in the US I see a tour in the US happening later this year with tourdates rolling out shortly after the induction in the RRHOF.

Jbeant, you were saying? Can't see the replay on you're last post :wave

I doubt it very much... he still has many work to do about the musical. Until the musical is premiered in Spring 2019, I'm sure he's tied to it
-
Guy indeed said there is more work to be done for the musical but we do not know how much off his time is going to take that. Perhaps they work for the musical from May until the end of July. Then a little break in August, September rehearsels and okt/nov touring. ??? Or am i totally wrong here ???

We do know MK, won't we?
Your question answer by itself ;)

I was just hoping that he would go on tour this year :smack
We probably will have to wait until may next year for the next tour to start :'(
-
So how about this sceanario. Album release late April. Euro tour from mid may through mid august. US tour mid september through end october? Unrealistic ?
This way he can focus on the musical from december onwards and maybe record another album during rest of 2019
-
That scenario fails in the first guess. The album will be out in September as earlier.
-
Usually Mark in on holidays from August 1st onward
-
It's funny, I only get truly excited about any album release once the release date is announced. For now I can't be bothered but when the countdown begins it turns me on.
