Hi Stephany Thanks for the information on Hayley's next visit to Japan. At least I now have a period of time where I can safely book 'non Hayley' things without fear of missing a concert! Lots of Love Grant  |

Thank you again, Stephany. However, despite the above, Bedlam Management have just this minute informed me that the tour is being planned but specific dates and venues have NOT been conformed. They have promised to let me know as soon as they are. Meanwhile, I imaging the details shown in Stephany's post are likely to be correct at the moment but until full confirmation is received, anything could change and nothing can be guaranteed. It is looking very hopeful though. Roger |

However, despite the above, Bedlam Management have just this minute informed me that the tour is being planned but specific dates and venues have NOT been conformed. Hello Roger, Perhaps I should point out that the dates I have posted above are the result of my 'ferreting' on the Samon Promotion server. The page is online but it is not supposed to be viewed (there's no direct link to it). I just wanted to be clever and 'accidentally' found the page where this schedule is listed  Samon Promotion will certainly post the schedule 'officially' when the venues and dates are confirmed.

Maybe it would help if we told Bedlam!  Well, Hayley has said we know what she is doing before she does. This merely proves it!  Roger  |

Maybe it would help if we told Bedlam! On a more serious note, it is interesting to notice that Hayley will (apparently) perform in two different concert halls in Tokyo. She has already performed quite a number of times at the Opera City but I believe it will be her first concert at the Tokyo Suntory Hall. The Suntory Hall is one of Japan's most prestigious concert halls and it can welcome more than 2,000 people. In comparison, the Opera City has a capacity of 'only' 1,600 people. Well-done Hayley Stephany |

You are right, Stephany. It certainly seems to indicate Hayley's immense popularity in Japan. And so does the fact that this provisional schedule includes TEN dates. She has never done more than an 8-concert tour in either the UK or New Zealand.  Roger |

This tour comes as no suprise as Hayley has mentioned the possiblity several times since her recent tour last November. Apart from openly stating she loves the country, Hayley is obviously very popular there not only from an appearance viewpoint but also by record sales. It would be interesting to learn what percentage of total sales last year were by Japanese customers? It looks like the tour will be very lucrative.  Martin |

Martin, you are quite right in saying that it will be a lucrative tour. Most of the venues listed above can welcome at least 1,800 people! It's also one of the only countries where she's doing concerts in the afternoon.  It would come as no surprise if Hayley toured Japan on a regular basis from now on. Stephany |

Oh sure, Martin. I was only talking about the concerts in which Hayley headlined. She certainly made more appearances with Celtic Woman and when she was supporting Il Divo.
