Compared to other artists on the site below there isn't much diversity for example I'd love them to play a show in South Africa maybe, Mexico, Canada, Argentina etc the list is endless. It's great they are going back to places after such a long time (decades) but imagine the excitement of fans in countries who get to see them live for the first time. This is what it says on setlist.fm for countries I don't know if they have got all of their concerts down United Kingdom (305) Germany (40) Ireland (14) Italy (11) Netherlands (7) Denmark (6) Switzerland (5) Australia (5) Belgium (4) Austria (3) Thailand (2) Japan (2) Spain (2) United States (1) Singapore (1) Sweden (1) Indonesia (1) France (1) Finland (1) United Arab Emirates (1) This post has been edited by nirvanamusic: 6th February 2016, 10:58 AM

Between the two if they run at the same time (I hope I'm proven wrong as TT have in my opinion a much more diverse catalogue between the two) the American audiences would go for a familiar name/songs. If that is the case best thing would be for Brits in Vegas to go along to the show but would that hold them up? It also goes against the booking which is to draw a diverse packed show and appeal to non Brits.

Out of sight out of mind type of thing.

Backstreet Boys are now developing a musical based on their rise to fame which again is something Take That/Gary mentioned only moments earlier. Like the Las Vegas residency there seems to be a lot of deju vu going on. Reunion record with the five which they said they listened to Progress during and then they brought out a film documentary similar to 'Look Back Don't Stare' etc etc previously. The thing is they have said especially in the UK that Take That are their inspiration as an older group and that their management have looked into how Take That have remained relevant as an older and similar act etc. I just couldn't believe that first it's the Las Vegas residency which TT have and then now a musical based on the same thing as the TT one. I think with BSB because next to no one knows Take That in America or even the whole of North America they think they can just take stripes from what TT do and apply it for America.

BuzzJack Climber Joined: 31 October 2013 Posts: 72 User: 20,036	Well Backstreet Boys have signed a deal to do a trial residency (9 shows) to see if there's enough interest for a full residency. I'm assuming Take That will do something similar to this as well http://edition.cnn.com/2016/04/04/entertai...feat/index.html

BuzzJack Legend Joined: 11 June 2011 Posts: 23,993 User: 14,031	That would make sense. With America, Backstreet Boys are a far bigger name and if they are testing the water with a 9 night residency i would assume Take That will have to do the same.

I imagine - and I hope - that Gary's name and reputation as a songwriter in America will attract more interest than a band whose name reflects the nature of their gigs.
