the 2 south africa dates seem odd, i know dave grew up there etc., but why do you think they decided to go back again this year? also do you think they had that short run of shows in the fall to pay for the trip to go to south africa to play to 7k-8k (maybe) people a night?

I think they actually have to book the dates pretty far in advance, but wait for whatever they consider the right timing to announce them publicly.
We all knew a fall tour of some kind was happening by mid summer, but we just didn't know where.
I honestly think they'll make some kind of money in South Africa. That's a big outfit/crew to bring over there for a certain loss. But it is curious regardless to play 2 shows half way across the world. Was it 3 originally?
Maybe the 2 shows in SA pay for the band and crew to spend a free holiday there?
