just check out the
'past gig list' from the turisas page. you see, there have been several finnish dates since 1999, then the big european tour in begin of 2005, since then, there has been NO gigs in continental europe besides festivals. not everybody can afford to go to festivals (travelling & tickets), so lots of people (who might not have been able to see them on the 2005 tour or simply didnt know them back then), were hoping for new dates to be confirmed. besides some announced/turned-down-things such as that after-forever-or-what-it-was-again - tour in spring and some other rumors there was nothing going on. BUT, there has been looooooots of UK-dates, thanks to heavily promoting the UK. of course its easier to make an UK-tour than to organise an european one (simply because its smaller) but yeah. in general bands tour every 2nd year and probably everybody was just waiting for a tour to be confirmed and besides UK-dates and festivals nothing came. but yeah, now we got the tour - although i still think the package is weird ;-) but as long as there is no metallysee i am fine with it ;-P
