Yes he did. Then recently he said they'd asked him to tour in the UK this summer and he said no way, with the Olympics being on then, so they were "working on the autumn". Meat doesn't simply say "I'll tour here" and gives dates and venues. It's up to a promoter, and venue availability, and work schedules of Meat and the band .. all of which can be a complex business to bring together.
All I'm saying is that we now have two indications that Meat will tour in the UK this year. Whether it turns out to be autumn or later will be determined by the promoter. If the promoter hasn't got dates in mind and things don't work out for then .. yes, it could be next year .. but that is not what Paul said. So you can speculate .. or wait until dates are announced. I'm waiting
And yes, he did say he was thinking of 2 parts theatre show style with two acts .. but again initial ideas will often change over time.
