Managed to get two tickets for Nottingham, after hassle with forgotten password etc on Ticketmaster. Noticed they are already on Viagogo at a stupid price (£163 for Nottingham), which really p****s me off!

Got tickets for Nottingham and Coventry as they're the two closest venues to me. Didn't think this tour would ever happen so I can't wait.

Hi there!
Isn’t it time to start speculating about what awaits us next fall?
How long do you reckon the average show will last?
What’s Roger gonna play? How many songs off his last album? Which hits and which deep cuts? Early Queen material, perhaps?
Will he drum at all?
Will all shows sell out?
Is it gonna be FUN?
Will we be wearing masks?? ;/

Sure hope he has Tenement Funster in the show, and Rock It

I hope he'll pull something out they haven't played with QAL/QPR. Maybe Ride The Wild Wind or Breakthru. I'd also like to see Surf's Up/School's Out and Up, maybe in a medley or something.

Some common features of the Happiness? and Electric Fire tours: - setlist : about 20 songs (approx. 90 minutes) - mostly songs off the newest album - Queen songs: mainly the hits (including a few songs not written by Roger : WWRY, TSMGO, IWTBF, UP) - only 3 "deep" cuts: Tenement Funster, I'm In Love With My War, Ride The Wild Wind - no material from the Cross

Would like to see him Tenement Funster, Heaven For Everyone or Final Destination, but expect instead of it Radio Gaga, Magic, UP. Hope for Strange Frontier and Man On Fire (this could be his only two songs from his solo albums from 80's, sadly).

Would love to see Tenement Funster, Drowse and Rock It. Perhaps The Invisible Man too. Don't think Roger will be drumming, Tyler seems to have been listed as the sole drummer.

There'll be some sort of percussion area for RT to use.
...and he'll do a cover version.

Maybe Rufus has rehearsal commitments with The Darkness, who I believe are touring in November? Don't get me wrong, Tyler is brilliant, I'm just surprised Rufus isn't involved.

I personally think Tyler is head and heels over Rufus, both percussion-wise and vocally, but it seems likely that Roger would've asked his son first, yeah.

I would expect Magic, Ga Ga, Days of our lives, Tenement Funster and in love with my car will be the queen songs. I’d love ride the wild wind to be included - a highlight of the happiness? Tour
From the solo catalogue - he has done magic is loose with the SAS band - I wonder whether Lets get Crazy will get a a drum duel treatment with Tyler - that could be a highlight. Foreign sand would also be fantastic. Better than even chance he’ll do one (maybe two) of the Bowie tracks he regularly does with the SAS band as well.

Anything from his '90s solo albums and his '70s Queen compositions will be music to my ears. If he's playing smaller venues I hope he has the common sense to realize what people want to hear.
