We realize there have been a lot of word and rumours floating around that this or that band will be touring South East Asia and it either results in the fans being majorly disappointed or extremely delighted. On this page, we hope to address the rumours and substantiate them with as much evidence possible (although we can’t give away all of our “sources” so you’ll just have to trust us on this one), keeping our fingers crossed that most would be true at the end of the day.
If you know of any and have vital information we’re looking for, hook us up! Provide links or articles that may shed some light as to whether what we’ve been hearing is accurate and we will credit you for them. Likewise, if you take any information from this page, please credit More Than Good Hooks as it took time and effort for us to compile this list for you. Contact us via the usual methods and we shall respond.
Check the tour dates section for further information on the confirmed shows, the locations/countries tend to vary from the initial rumours.
