So is the pre-sale for the French dates only? I'm a bit confused. Also: more dates are coming in additional countries, according to Mika's Instagram story!

Glad I'm not the only one who noticed that, I hear that too! I'm very curious if it's the sound of the whole album or not

I agree! I wonder which part of the song this is? I guess bridge + ending, because the chorus is repeated a few times, it has a song ending vibe

Yes, I try to think about it this way, I feel very lucky! I have so many great memories too. Getting ready, travelling A LOT, seeing beautiful places and then finally standing in front of the stage. I still got goosebumps. I guess I have to wait until next time, unfortunately the last two dates are far away from me. But it's okay, now I know that I have to attend at least two gigs during the next tour, these shows are addictive!

Oh, so we have a thread for this? Well, I'm suffering since Tarvisio, so I'll join you never experienced anything like this before

Grazie, piacere di conoscerti!

Sziasztok! Remélem azért vagyunk még páran Magyarországról nem ismerek senkit magyar rajongók közül, de szívesen beszélgetnék volt esetleg valaki ezen a nyáron valamelyik koncerten? Vagy megy a következőkre?

I finally had the time to check out these threads and WOW it's really an impressive collection you have here Thank you for the suggestionts, now I know what I'll do in my free time

Luckily, I saw him in Tarvisio 4 days ago I don't see a concert happening in Hungary any time soon (no one ever comes here anymore), but I love travelling so I have no problem chasing Mika all over Europe Oh don't worry, I don't wanna be cured, like ever Thank you for the warm welcome! Hope to see you all at gigs in the future!

Hi! I've been here for a couple of months now but I haven't properly introduced myself. My name is Tori, I'm a Hungarian girl. Unfortunately in my country Mika isn't widely known (what a shame!) so I haven't discovered his music until Eurovision last year. I've been a huge Eurovision fan for 10+ years but I have to say the best performance I've seen or heard was Mika's medley I remember lying on my couch, half asleep, when he came on stage and started singing Love Today, I immediately woke up and my jaw dropped. His voice, his moves, his outfits, his charisma left me speechless. I started googling like crazy, who is he and why on earth haven't I heard of him before? I just wish I've known him for much longer! I spent the next couple of days listening to all of his albums, reading about him and I became a fan quite quickly. No other artist left a deeper impression on me than he did. I love the way he writes about his own life experiences (or inspired by other stories) and he manages to channel his thoughts and feelings in such a beautiful and poetic way to the audience. My absolute favourites are Origin of Love, Rain, Promiseland, One Foot Boy, No Place In Heaven, Hurts ... and the list goes on It's really nice to be here on the MFC Forum, I love that everyone is so friendly and kind!

Oh, okay sorry!

Hmm... I think YoYo was right after Rain, because I remember Mika wearing the white/beige suit while singing BBB, and during YoYo he was in pink

Hi After 3 days of being on an emotional rollercoaster and having post concert depression, I think it’s time for writing a review The Tarvisio gig was my very first Mika show. I was beyond excited to see him for the first time and my reaction was … oh my god! what a great artist/showman/popstar/exceptional singer he is. I knew this concert would live up to my expectations of course, but it was still so much more than I had imagined. What I particularly liked about this gig was that NOTHING was usual about it. Have you ever woken up at 7 AM and climbed a mountain in the Alps to a see a show? Well, me neither. Needless to say, it was totally worth it. I couldn’t get enough of the scenery surrounding the venue. It felt like a fairy tale, like I have entered another world. Luckily, I managed to get really close to the stage so I had a perfect view of him and the band. Everyone around me was so happy, dancing, singing and cheering for him the entire time, it was impossible not to have a good time. The Lollipop intro was enough to get everyone in the mood for partying like crazy. Then my favourite song, Origin of Love started and I think that was the point when I completely surrendered to the "Mika magic", I lost track of time and completely forgot there was a world outside of these beautiful mountains, a really, really happy crowd and the most talented man I have ever seen, singing on the stage I had a big flower crown made by me and my mom, and I was hoping I could give it to Mika but he walked into the crowd a bit further away from me so I didn’t get the chance. But I was happy for the propeller hat he got, it was hilarious! He also mentioned that this hat was featured in a TV series (was it The Little Rascals? after googling a bit I think it might be). If I heard it correctly, he said that in the intro he used a sample from the music of the series, so it was a funny coincidence. But please correct me if I’m wrong What I really liked is that he took time to appreciate the beautiful view, the mountains and trees. He also changed the lyrics a few times to include the mountains (for example during Tiny Love), it was so funny! Then he explained he wanted to do something different this time and transform this frontal show into a "concerto circolare" and he went into the crowd again. He asked everyone to sit in a circle, with him in the middle and performed No Place In Heaven (one of my favourites, it was such a nice surprise!), Good Guys and finally Underwater, with a funny intermezzo, asking a lady a bit far from the audience, chilling under the trees to sing Underwater back to him. I believe he felt at ease among the audience, everyone was very respectful. After returning to the stage, he sang Rain, Yo Yo, Elle Me Dit, Boum Boum Boum as well so I think this was the most intense part of the show, we were jumping and screaming the entire time, I really had the time of my life. After Happy Ending and Grace Kelly I knew something was still missing from the setlist but I couldn’t figure out what, and I totally forgot about We Are Golden, so when he started singing "teenage dreams…" I jumped like crazy and somehow he managed to bring the energy level of the crowd even higher. Dancing to We Are Golden and Love Today was truly a magical experience and a perfect way to end this euphoric show. And then yet another sweet surprise: Mika and his dog came on stage Such a heart-warming scene. Then I went to the backstage exit – or at least I thought I was there, because after half an hour we realised we were waiting at the wrong exit Unfortunately, I had to leave before he came out, I wish I could have stayed. I still feel very lucky, ‘cause I had the chance to travel from quite far away (with my parents) to see him at this unique venue and I got to experience his magic for the first time. There was everything: singing at the top of our lungs, dancing, jumping, laughing, crying tears of joy. So many great memories, so much happiness, so many friendly faces. Now I know, when Mika is on stage, you gotta expect all of the above. Like my mom said, his happiness, cheerfulness and energy is contagious, he charmed the audience in the best way possible. So thank you Mika from the bottom of my heart, you made us really happy. Can’t wait to see you again. P.S. I haven't taken many quality photos or videos, but I wanted to share with you this one, I love how everyone is smiling and seems genuinely happy!

Well, I don't think it's acoustic, it would have been said earlier by Mika himself Edit: I checked this website, there are multiple errors. When it's an acoustic show it is written on the promo image like in the case of Skunk Anasie or LP (see the instagram page of the festival). So it is fake news

Thank you!

Hello! Does anyone know if we can bring some food (sandwiches for example) to the venue? On the FAQ page of the festival only water bottles are mentioned (bottles larger than 0,5 l are not allowed) but I'm not sure about that either

Hi Deb! No we haven't met yet I'm a fan from Hungary and the Tarvisio gig in July will be my very first time seeing Mika. Thank you for your answer, I found the event and signed up!

Thank you very much for explaining!

Hi i wasn't sure where to ask this question, sorry if it's off topic. I've seen videos of the meet&greet after the Bristol show. I was wondering how these events are organised, where did you get notified before? Or who can join you? Was it a rare occasion or will there be more m&gs during the summer tour?

Hi! I'm a fan from Hungary, a rare one I don't know any other Hungarian fans
