Great! I would actually be a bit relieved if the album came out in fall, as that means I'm in the clear for my potential extended vacation in late summer. How soon do you think she'd tour after that? And even when she does start touring, I somehow doubt that the US will be first. What do you think? Hey, also, is there a way to find out where Sarah has toured in the past? What I mean is, I'm curious to know all the venues Sarah has performed at in the Seattle area in the past. Is there a way to find that sort of thing? I tried searching google, and found nothing. Are there tour archives on the "Sarah group" pages? Or are those just social media pages? I'm aware of at least one place she's visited in the past, but I know she's been here more than once. I know that once, she was at the place Josh came to last time, which was an outdoor venue which my sister and I were not especially fond of. I believe she's also been to Everett's large event center, but other than that, I have no idea. Oh, and the concert I was supposed to go to 4 years ago in the summer, before she cancelled, was another outdoor arena. I'm just curious, as I'm very concerned that the location will be somewhere my sister will be willing to go to, no matter what the weather. LOL Also, I'd like to get an idea of the attendance size she might expect to get around here. There's a newer venue that's actually in my home city, and very close to Seattle itself, that I would really love for her to come to. My sister would be far more likely to attend with me if she came there. That outdoor venue she was scheduled to come to in 2014 would still be fine, or the Paramount Theatre in Seattle would be nice, too. The Everett one would probably be okay in summer, but if it were in the fall or winter when we sometimes get horrific downpours, my sister would likely refuse to drive very far away to see her. It's not fun to drive through downpours. LOL From my experience and following Sarah is that she tours the USA in the Fall (Oct-Dec). When Dreamchaser (2013) came out in Japan in January and the rest of the world in April, she toured here still in the Fall. With Symphony (2008), the album came out in January world wide, and she still toured the USA in the Fall. For Harem (2003), she toured the USA in the Winter (Jan-Mar) and again in the Fall (Oct-Nov). So I bet that no matter when this album is released, she will more than likely tour the USA in the Fall (late Sept-Dec). And since the chances of this album is coming out in late Summer/Fall, I would think we may be the first leg of the tour. Now I have been wrong before, but her touring pattern is pretty set when it comes to the USA. As for the size of the venue, Sarah will probably stick to theaters and other smaller venues this go around. Unfortunately, Sarah is not as popular as she was in her hey day back in the mid-90s to early 2000s. When I saw her in the Symphony tour at the Gwinnett Center in Atlanta, she had the floor and the front half of the lower bowl sold out, but the rest of the arena was pretty empty. I don't know if it's her following downsized or if it was the bad economy at the time. It was a huge debate I remember among fans at the time. The sad part was Atlanta that tour had a huge SarahFest to boost sales where fans from all over the world came to see Sarah and get together with each other. So yeah, I think your looking at smaller venues, but they will be more expensive tickets than before. So prepare yourself.... As for where Sarah performed in Seattle, I don't know. Plus I'm sure some of your venues have changed names over the years like over here. But this is a fan's fan page devoted to Sarah. If you click the different tour books, it will take you to a listing of the setlist, different posters for the tour, and a listing of the tour dates. FYI: Click on Live in Vienna for Symphony instead the red Symphony tour book. The link was broken for some reason when I tried. I also recommend the rest of the site for further info about Sarah's career, albums, etc. Early Sarah Brightman FansiteHopefully this all helps!

Aha! She was at the Paramount for Dreamchaser, vs. the Everett Event center for Symphony. The Everett one has definitely changed names several times throughout its existence; including just last year! But I've been there often enough in the last 12 years or so to have been made well aware of these changes. In fact, I got an e-mail about the most recent change! LOL But the Paramount is one that will likely never change its name. I think the Paramount is a likely venue for her upcoming tour, since it is small, but right in downtown Seattle. That's where Celtic Woman has come throughout the years, though the times that I went, they had more than one concert there for one tour, at least 2, maybe even 3 if I remember right. There was probably a daytime show and 2 evening shows, and I think one of the times we went, it was the daytime show. And yes, they have been very expensive the last several years, which is why I've never wanted to go again, aside from the fact I've lost interest. But Sarah will be worth it, and I think my sister might be willing to go as far as the Paramount, even in the "driving" rain (pun intended, LOL). The center in my town is an arena, and is where the last Skate America competition was held in my state, but it holds fewer people than the Everett one, certainly fewer than the Key Arena where Josh (and many of the big pop stars) normally go. Oh, speaking of which, I just looked and saw that both her Harem and La Luna tours came to that Key Arena! So, while I would guess she comes to the Paramount, it's not totally impossible for her to come to this newer place (called the Showare Center in Kent, WA). Now, I think the person who told my dad they'd attended her concert at the winery where Josh came must have been mistaken, or actually, maybe it was my dad who was mistaken about where it was, because I can't find that venue on any of the tour lists. The very first time she came here was for the Eden tour (I think that was her first US tour, according to this site?), she came to the Seattle Opera House, which nowadays is referred to as the McCaw Hall, which comprises of the opera house and another auditorium. It is not far from the Key Arena. Okay, here are the stats: Paramount seats 2800 + Showare seats 6500 Everett seats 10,000, and Key seats 17,000! Of course, there is also the Pantages theater in Tacoma where Orla performed, and which I think is a good possibility for Hayley if she were to come here, but it only seats over 1100. My bets are on Paramount. Thanks for this! I didn't think there'd be anything this easy for finding all her tours in one place! I'm so pleased to be able to see this! Thank you!

Your welcome. Like I said, Sarah's popularity has decreased over the last decade to 12 years so I am thinking theaters or small arenas. La Luna and Harem were at the pinnacle of her popularity. But anyways, we will see what comes of it shortly. If she is coming here or elsewhere...or it takes her another year to get this album together (hope not).

Nah, I don't think the album will take another year. Hayley's? Yes, probably. Josh's? Yes, but only that, not 5 years, like some other singers.

Okay, I think things are going to be announced soon. They've said things like this before, but the frequency of these "stuff is coming soon" posts seems to be increasing. I think I've signed up for her newsletter, but I'm going over to her website to sign up just to be sure. http://www.instagram.com/p/BiXdnl0FVxf

oooo!! THANK YOU for finding the teaser! Wonder if that is the first single from the new album. Guess something will be coming out this week then if we got a little teaser and 2 "news is coming soon" posts. We will see.... I double checked with Sarah's website and in the email inbox and both of my emails are signed up and ready to go! Sad that the last email I received from her team was late summer of 2016!! It was for the shows that she performed in Mexico later that year.

Yes, was just about to post that new post from today! Very excited. And, have you noticed that many of the posts have been signed off by Sarah B? I think she's started to get herself involved in posting tweets. I think Sarah and Hayley have gone opposite! So, I think the album announcement is next week, but they still have editing and stuff to do. You know, the first Hobbit movie wasn't officially completed until right up to the New Zealand premiere, so if they can release a movie hours after the last edit was submitted, then they can probably still edit/process an album before the release announcement. Do you think a tour announcement will come at the same time, or soon after? If the US tour is in fall, all I really hope is that the Seattle concert does not fall on the 2nd to last weekend of October! That's when Skate America in Everett, WA is... the same venue where Sarah performed for Symphony, no less.

Okay, so perhaps no album announcement quite yet. Although she does say the wait is nearly over, it doesn't seem to be what the announcement is... or, wait, is this the announcement, or is the announcement on the new "space"? A bit confused, but still excited! Anyway, this is one step much, much closer!
