With a post on Bob's x account saying the rough and rowdy tour continues to 2026, what is the touring legs going to look like? The first thought is Australia and/or Japan in April, southern Europe in june/July and northern US in the fall. 2027 could then be northern Europe in April, Canada in june/July and southern US in the fall. Maybe even change the first and last legs for 2027.
However, since coming back from covid, his touring patterns have been different since 2013. I count the outlaw concerts as a full leg. So, he has done 3 Europe fall legs and 2 us fall legs. 3 of the last 4 years have 2 us legs and 1 international.
So the big questions are does he do outlaw for the third year in a row and does he release a new album in the near future? A smaller question is does Anton Fig stay? Drayton lasted 4 legs, Pentecost lasted 4 legs, Keltner lasted 2, and Fig just finished 3.
As a side note, remember when the original poster for the rough and rowdy ways tour was released it said 2022-2025 and then was replaced quickly with 2021-2024? We are getting this tour lasting longer than the Sinatra years.
Well, 27 shows just announced for the u.s. starting on mar 21 to may 1. I look to be coming back from spring break in fla on 3/29 so I will miss Rockford, which I thought might be on last year's spring tour. However, waukegan should fit nicely for my first show in March since 2004. Also a venue I have not been to. About 2400 seats according to wiki.
Willie just announced his first show of the year for May 2nd in Texas. If he does an outlaw tour, I would guess it would be announced by end of the month. If bob is part of it, I wonder who the other headliner would be. Most of the artists that are part of it already have shows this summer.
