Lisbon will be again on his tour list, I'm completely sure of that.

As for Porto, I'm not so sure... Anyway, I really hope he'll include it for his next tour! Apart from being a fantastic city, he could choose amongst some very nice venues and he would have for sure a real genuine audience!

You are  very close to Mark's locations.
Imagine I am in Argentina. He only came here  alone in 2001
DS never been here.

This Woburn Abbey interview explains a lot

Could someone please elucidate what Mark is talking about in this interview? Does he talk about anything related to South America?

Yes he talks about the finances of running a tour and that some places they couldn't visit due to the financial viability of it

just having watched the (EFFING AMAZING) David Gilmour Live at Pompeii documentary with the sub documentary about each part of his tour, (EU, South AMerica, North america and EU again, and even for almost every single location!) i am now really conviced that these days nothing speaks against playing down under (in the americas...)
any Knopfler, Floyd or Dylan will do....

Now in 2017 or this new decade is diffferent from the 90' s
Gilmour has come to Argentina for the first time in 2015
As one of you said it is up to band managers to decide where to go.
I regret South America was a non-profitable continent for Mark to come here in OES tour.
We must take some tribute band as a samole of DS.
Dire Straits legacy made some gigs in May This year in Brazil.
Members are the one of DS but Mark
I believe, Mark has some issues with all of them but John Ilsley ans Guy.

I don't know how Legacy was promoted in Argentina but the promotion in Brazil was outrageous, disgusting, repulsive. I felt like throwing up every time I came across some interview or advertising.

They did not come to argentina. But it can be a chance to see jack , Alan, Chris and Danny. And Phil too
Phil Palmer has toured with eros ramazzotti too.

That's how I used to see it but after the act they put up here I'd rather see Justin Timberlake singing Christmas songs in a sauna than Legacy.

Even MK and his management wants to play in SA is not on their hands of promoters don't provide what is needed.

Guy always told that they love SA, actually I read somewhere that MK has a big country house in Argentina close to Guillermo Villa's one and that he goes there when he can, so I'm sure he would love to play there again but promoters don't believe he could make the money that will cost to bring him.

You might get lucky, now and then

I'm not sure about that. He came here in 2001 and all his 6 shows were sold out, months in advance. Mark is extremely popular in Brazil and every promoter knows that. As I said, he doesn't go to Australia, New Zealand and Japan either...
