Not the first I've heard about the possibility of festivals, and my reaction still hasn't changed!

Vegas, yes!

Sorry Meat but I wouldn't be going to a festival regardless of who was playing.

I can't think of anything worse than having to camp and standing around in muddy fields in the rain being pushed around by thousands of other people.

This all sounds like great news. I am hoping I get to go back to Vegas next year if his plans do work out. I will be right in the middle of tax season if he comes back in March/April time so I am keeping my fingers crossed that I can make it to at least one show!!

But what if the weather is very nice, the festival is lovely situated next to a lake with a beach (so very nice vues), you can stay at great hotels in town (or a nice holidayhome next to the venue; ever heard of Centerparcs?) and it's not situated in the middle of nowhere (like most festivals are), but it's situated in the best suburb of town. Here's the suggestion:

It's called Retropop and it focuses on the artists who had hits in de the 70', 80' and 90'. The last years some fantastic artists performed on Retropop. Like Kim Wilde, 10CC, Status Quo, Sheila E, UB40, Level 42, Alphaville, Simon and Garfunkel, etcetera.
It's in the Netherlands, only 10 miles from the German border, so if you would like to visit Germany as well, no problem.
The tickets cost about 50 euro's and the venue takes place whole day (from 13.00 hrs. to midnight).

Meat, come to Retropop, you would fit in perfectly!
The date for Retropop 2014 will be 7th of June.

A person can dream, can't she?

Here's a picture:

Well I did, and the only ones I didn't stand in the rain for were Nottingham and Clearwater and Pompano in Fla .. I think we got away with a light shower at the start of the Excel

Personally I avoid festivals .. the crush, and the fact that you don't always get a full set. I'll set my sights on Vegas, and a hope to see the Vegas style show in London

No. The first show I went to was on the Hang Cool Tour.

Besides, it's the idea of General Admission rather than allocated seating that is the main thing that puts me off of festivals.

By the end of the tour it was wellies!

What massively puts me off this is that we're not talking about General Admission Meat Loaf shows, we're talking about Meat playing at festivals, presumably as one of many acts, so it's all the horrors (they're horrors to me anyway!) of outdoor GA/festivals to see a very short set. The thought of being stood in a festival crowd horrifies me.

All that said, see what happens when if he announces it and it's a case of this Meat or no Meat

Me too; festivals haven't appealed to me since I said goodbye to my teens and twenties for the same reasons .. although if it comes off I'm pleased for fans in mainland Europe. I'll aim for the next Vegas residency and hope Meat manages to pull off the London residency at the end of the year. I've had so many wonderful years of concerts .. but the new style of show showcases so much more of Meat's skills, and a theatre suits my knees and advancing years much better (just as it does Meat's )

Sounds good for the album. I have to wonder how involved Jim is beyond contributing already finished material to keep up that pace.

Festivals can be hit or miss depending on the festival itself who else is on the bill and where Meat would sit on the bill so the jury is still out on that one for me.

Vegas ... April please rather than March ... March is the end of my holiday year at work so I'll be low on days available.

London possibly? Great news. Can see a number of meetings being scheduled to coincide with show dates
