According to John McCusker's tweets they are in Chicago already since Oct. 2. Production rehearsal will mean a complete run through the set with all light, sound, monitoring, guitar switches etc... This can only take place where the stage is, so to say, so not in a London rehearsal room but somewhere near the first gig probably.

They usually do that in London, at Bray Studios (where some old horror movies were made long ago) and sometimes they do that on the same venue of the first gig, as everything is there ready...

Their first show is in Winnipeg, so its about 15 hours drive from Chicago (according to Google Maps), strange.
You might get lucky, now and then

It was the famous Hammer Films that used these studios, famous for films with Peter Cushing and Christopher Lee and most especially their Dracula series.

Richard is from Chicago - do you think the decision had anything to do with that?

I dont think that it has anything to do with Richard being from Chicago... Maybe they found a good spot to do the production rehearsals in the way to Winnipeg, who knows...

I guess Guy
