During LS Tour she was disappearing so many times and sometimes it felt like she was gone 10 minutes which felt too long and killed the mood. I wish she would take shorter breaks and maybe chill while chatting a bit to tye crowd, sit down on stage, do a small acoustic set - or find something to entertain the crowd that isnt a boring video or her band playing the same melody for 10 minutes... She could bring her opener and they could play a cover of one of her songs. Or maybe show a fun video that seems live (like when Taylor Swift is diving under the stage). I'm sure she needs those breaks and tht is absolutely fine to me. But she needs to find a way to not let it kill the mood. An acoustic set is like the best idea that she keeps dodging for whatever reason. Maybe she just wants to keep her concerts full of energy.
But I just remembered that Green Day had a mascot that they use during their concerts for moments like this, when they need a break, to avoid killing the mood. Even if it's not a great idea for her type of concerts, it's a reminder that something can be done even when a stage setup revolves around a full band. But I'm not sure if it'd be a good ideia for her to reuse Bearshark or whatever. I'm afraid it would turn out to be cringey.

The Green Day mascot was exactly what I was thinking off.

Well the crowd on the Instagram story she’s just posted sound like they’re having a blast which speaks more than any of the reviews.

Yeah I don’t think they’d ever reveal publicly the fact she needs breaks, that’s sort of like breaking the fourth wall. I don’t think anyone would be as bothered by it if they just figured out something better to do while she’s gone. Even the HK interlude was something, her band would kind of dance to it as they played and it was a funny/cute moment.

Austrian reviews are not as harsh as the Czech ones but her just disappearing multiple times seems to be the main topic in every single review.

The issue isn’t her taking breaks, it’s that they can’t find anything interesting to happen onstage while she’s gone other than very long interludes played by her band which people say gets old very quickly. And she seems to be gone for several minutes at a time, not just like 2 minutes. If she’s in that poor health, then she frankly shouldn’t be touring, or she needs to adapt her shows to fit her current abilities and sit down for more of it. Or at least find something interesting to keep fans entertained for that long other than extended band outros.

What are they saying apart from that? By the way, Austria and Germany have always been good markets for her. They normally love her. Someone posted that Spotify streams had a nice boost after stepping into Austria yesterday, and she probably purposefully chose Germany to release the GH when she was there. I remember during the LS tour last year, her streams and monthly listeners grew a LOT after playing in Germany! They generally serve good press and good numbers for her. I think after she solved some of those setlist problems, the next thing she needs to address is how she manages pauses. I'm glad she takes breaks. It's totally understandable and necessary. But she needs to adjust her band and ask them to perform better while she's catching her breath before returning to the stage. At my show last year, she clearly wasn't that fine, and when she took the break, the band provided some energy. It wasn't that bad... and I don't know why they're not doing it this year. But as soon as she got back on stage, everybody went crazy again. I guess this is a minor adjustment that they can solve with one meeting with her crew.

Pollstar is one of the sites that publishes tour box scores. Could be that we'll get to see the numbers for the first NA leg.

What's wrong with her band? It's up to the musical director and Avril to plan the show.

I actually actually meant I'm curious to see why she's on the cover. Will they provide her boxscores already? It seems like her team is very competent this time. Given that she's on the cover, can we expect that the box scores will be good? I think she hasn't been on the cover of such an important magazine in a long time... maybe since Billboard.

I don't know for sure why she is on the cover of Pollstar, but it could be a good sign, so we might get the boxscore tomorrow. Given that she's on the cover, it could include an interview about her tour and general touring updates. The last North American date of her tour was two weeks ago, and the first one was almost a month ago. That's definitely enough time to gather all the data. This time, ticket prices were higher, and she played 15-20k arenas as a solo act for the first time ever, so the numbers must be decent at least. We'll see...
