George announced that Big Big Train will play Rite of Spring Festival in Sarasota, FL next year. He did not announce the dates yet but if the pattern holds, it will be May 1 to 3.

That's enough for me to make the trip.
Hmmmmm. That's a thing for sure.

Nostalgia, you know, ain't what it used to be. Furthermore, they tells me, it never was.

I'm not sure if it is enough to get me there. Not sure if anything other than Eloy would be a 100% guarantee.
But it sure as hell gets me thinking about it seriously.
Of course, hearing this makes me hope that they do a more full scale US tour, and I can see them somewhat local (= NYC, Boston, Montreal - which, I know, isn't in the US).
Any news on how the first Florida RoSFest did, in terms of butts in seats? (I'm hoping it did very well)

please add 'imo' wherever you like, to avoid offending those easily offended.
This is a major draw for fans of symphonic progressive rock. I'd love to see the show.
I'd go if they got Camel or Hillage

Pretty sure that this isn't going to be a one-off after all of these years never coming to the US. I would bet that they will play some other dates at least in the NorthEast as well.
Knowing BBT's tendency to plan things well in advance, I would bet they have a few other dates arranged around the Rosfest performance.
Not just a Genesis fanboy.

I blame Wynton, what was the question?
There are only 10 types of people in the World, those who understand binary and those that don't.
awesome
There will be more US and Canada dates during the same time period as Rosfest. Probably just a handful of dates, they're working it out now.
wow, so there was no rosfest thread here? Attendance figure I heard was about 325.
Theres some video out there:
