silver Posted July 9, 2019 Share Posted July 9, 2019 I guess the travel involved will mean a lot of fans won't be able to go to any of these gigs. It's a pity he couldn't have found one mid-west venue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think honestly its mostly the gay community who are Mika fans and they are very prominent in NYC, LA and SF so those gigs make a lot of sense to me. Whenever I go to a gay bar, they always play a Mika song... even then, its usually LICM era. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whenever I go to a gay bar, they always play a Mika song... even then, its usually LICM era. Whenever I go to Kohl's or Target I hear Popular. And I don't just think it's the gay community -- I think it's just in these big cities more people are exposed to a wider range of music, so are more likely to have heard of Mika. I know in my parents town, all the radio stations are either "classic rock", "oldies" or country & western. That's literally all the majority of the people there know. I'm actually surprised Mika's not going to Miami -- I mean, he even has a house there! But I agree a Chicago date would have been nice, especially for the fans who are in the middle of the country who could travel a little bit to see him. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Population is another big factor too, you're right. The music scene will be more diverse. Miami would be a great spot for a show, I would of considered going there too. Again, big gay community and diverse music scene. Anyway, got my ticket! My first gig.. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sarac Posted July 11, 2019 Share Posted July 11, 2019 Gosh it's been forever since I've been over here, but that doesn't mean I have ever stopped loving Mika and finding happiness through his songs. Soooo, since he hasn't been in the US in ages and I'm at a point where I can do this.... I have tickets to all 5 shows - NY, two in Montreal, one in SF and one in LA. A Mika tour, just like a Deadhead following the Grateful Dead on tour. I've got my flights and airbnb's booked. Since both of my adult kids now live in Europe, I'm also hoping to catch a few shows when I'm visiting them. With a new grandbaby, I'll be over a lot. When I first started following Mika he had less than what, 30, 000? 25,000 followers on Twitter. I hope I get a chance to meet him again and he doesn't hurt his frigging foot and have to hold back performing. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BangBangLou Posted July 12, 2019 Share Posted July 12, 2019 Hello Mika- world and US fans. 💕💕 This tour has awaken me from my Mika-slumber.

See you in SF sara! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sarac Posted July 12, 2019 Share Posted July 12, 2019 I can't wait. Bring cake. Lol.. Your creations are beautiful. I might even have to nudge Patty. A reunion! Light up jewelry, glitter ... silly string. He's so huge in Europe now, small venues like this.. rare, if at all. Am I right? Asking others...

Oh I’ll definitely bring some sweets!! ^-^ Gracias. Im actually surprised at the size of venues he’s doing over here. The SF venue is over twice the capacity of the last time he played here. I’m curious to see what the current US crowds will be like. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spread out so far apart, and places he’s never been (Nashville?!) or hasn’t been to in years (Miami!)!!! Being a Mikafan in the USA just got a lot more exciting xD DC, Philly and NYC are a no brainer for me, my sister lives in Philly so i’ll tie a visit in with her. However, I live somewhere between Denver and Chicago and sort of St Paul. All are about a 9-10 bus ride away so I’m debating whether or not I should go to one, two or three of these as well. What’s everybody else planning? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cat_loves_mika Posted January 22, 2020 Share Posted January 22, 2020 I'm going to the Atlanta show, it's right before my final exams but I'm going to make it work! I can't wait, I hope I'll see some of you out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TeeMarie Posted March 2, 2021 Share Posted March 2, 2021 Hi Mika fans in the U.S.! Looks like the last post on here was early last year. :-) I still want to say hi anyway! New to the club, living in a suburb of Chicago. Rediscovered Mika earlier in February and haven't stopped listening since. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
