Dave & Tim Europe 2017 - where would you go?

I live in Europe, but (un)fortunately in none of the countries listed on the tour they just announced. So, I'm wondering where should I go and see them. So far I have seen the full band twice in Amsterdam and those are the only two concerts I've seen live. I have seen quite a few shows on Youtube, though Thanks Copperpot and MRNYCRISPY Anyway, ideally I would want to see two shows on subsequent nights. So far my two favorites are London and Portugal, not only because they are first and last, but also because London is where I expect Dave and Tim to put in their best effort, and on the other hand the Portuguese crowd is awesome from what I've seen/heard and I definitely expect a double encore there. Which venues do you think are best? Is it better to see them at the beginning or towards the end of the tour? Judging by this year's US summer tour and 2007's Dave and Tim European tour, I expect high repetitiveness, so I'm worried towards the end Dave and Tim themselves may get a little bored playing the same songs every other night. Also, do you think Dave's voice will hold after 15 shows with very little break in between? And one last thing - do you expect them to repeat many songs in nearby venues, e.g. Lisbon and Porto, Milano and Padua?
It would be interesting to see your thoughts/suggestions.

    15 shows wont affect dave's voice much I dont think..

    If youre looking for slightly more variety I would learn toward the last 3rd of the tour, but again with that few shows I dont know how much variety will be there overall.

    If I were to go (and there's maybe a 5% chance of that happening), I'd do one of these two runs:


    London
    Dublin
    Groningen
    Amsterdam

    or

    Copenhagen
    Berlin
    Vienna
    Prague



    Would lean more toward that second one.

    like matthew said, there is a very slim chance of actually making this happen, but i'd be going for the vienna/prague shows as its my bday then. also just seems more interesting to go there than london.

    we are thinking of doing vienna through milan which seems pretty doable. the only flight would have to be from prague to torin but the rest is easily accessible via train.

    What a great news!

    Another way of looking at it is how can I see as much shows as possible without traveling to much and spending to much money.
    I live in the South of the Netherlands. Koln (Germany) is a 1 hour drive, Amsterdam a 2 hour drive, Groningen (Netherlands) a 3 hour drive.
    That means 3 shows within a 3 hour driving range. How awesome is that.?

    I'am looking forward to it! Can't wait.

    Prague is a awesome city. Always love going there. Great food (if you like that style), great beer, clean, beautiful, and good public transportation.

    Hello ! We, at DMB Portugal, are starting to contact some hostels and hotels in order to get some group prices or cheaper prices for the DMB Community that are coming to Portugal to see Dave and Tim.

    But in order to do such thing, we need to know who is interested in staying in a hostel /hotel either in Lisbon or Porto (or both) and for how many nights.

    We need some info until next week, because it's going to be the Easter week in Portugal, so the prices will rise and most of the places will be sold out.....

    So don't hesitate to contact me or the DMB Portugal staff if you have any questions .

    Thanks
