I wonder when they will realize that the 10th day of December is a Sunday and not a Saturday...

This change in the date was bad news for people who already have bought flight ticket and booked a room.

It's now been two and a half months since the farewell tour announcement, still no USA dates announced.  :(

the whole farewell tour seems very very sloppy....I don't understand how they can squeeze in a US tour in these few months if they don't even have venues booked yet. Whenever there is a tour in the US, Ticketmaster has them announced MONTHS before , as well as who is opening for them. There's 6 months left, and there's 3 months worth of gigs already in place at the end of the year....there seems to be a broken link in the chain here.....it doesn't help that they're not keeping fans in the loop either

Indeed, the whole thing is a mess. Wish we were in the loop a bit more. Doesn't even feel like the tour is going a head next month.

Let's hope people that bought tickets can at least get their money back if it's true..

Where did rumors start that the U.S. ticket sales were going to be released in July? Also, why would they go on with HELLDONE I'd they said they wouldn'tplay unless they had new songs...

Because it's the most fitting way for the band to end their time as HIM. Tradition, plus the symbolism of out with the old and in with the new. That whole not playing the show unless they had new songs to perform was bullshit. They used to say they wouldn't perform new songs live before the album came out anymore because of people bootlegging them. That's never been a rule for the New Year's shows in the past. They just weren't interested in putting on a Helldone and that was the best excuse they could come up with so fans wouldn't be mad since there was, at the time, a new album to look forward to.

They preformed alsn and solitary man months before the album release...hell they even played killing loneliness and vampire heart during an official broadcast and still made a crap load of sales.

I don't lnow...i look through the forums,  here and other sites and there isn't much positive energy drawn from this...i mean who knows what's going on behind the scenes while fans are left to speculate all over the world? I get 1000 percent excited one minute and depressed the next. Then I go from sad to angry....i must not be the only fan feeling this way...

currently they are rehearsing .... you can figure it out from Kosmo official FB page

the July thing started as misunderstanding 1+1=2..... They say on heartagram.com that US dates and Helldone to be announced soon and on the official Helldone FB page there is announcemend that the Helldone tickets/dates will be available in July
so someone tought that Helldone = US dates.... there was July mentioned TO HELLDONE so they connected it with US dates..... its the same bullshit and misunderstood facts as many times and actually all the times... as with the new album and stuff. Ville says "something with HIM" and fans actually spread that there will be new album because Ville said that. But he didnt, obviously. He meant Farewell tour. But fans gladly believe what they wanted to be truth, there is still like 50% of the fans convinced that there is a new album going because it was mentioned on the BLOG on eventim.de...... the fact that eventim itself denied it and said that it was misunderstanding of the blog writer and its not the fact.... fans still believe it and are convinced ... because they wanna believe it. Its the same as with the religion .... when someone is convinced and wanna believe in something , you cant explain anything to them, because they are most likely to deny the facts as they dont fit to their belief

this is exactly HIM community thing... twisted and bended words connected with other stuff from uncofirmed sources, believe, a lot of hysteria, and making it fitting what everyone wants it to be. You cant explain fans basic things because "what is on the internet, is the truth"..... attitude is stubborn
you cant explain that "This is only the beginning" is just fan made title for the demos from 1995, the same as with the "Slippery when dead" ...... its pure fiction and bullshit based on lack of information

It's hard to get too excited for a tour that's pretty much up in the air at this point still as far as we know and likely won't be any different from the tours before it except for it being their last. Ville's voice is just about shot and likely biggest the reason why we don't ever see much of a change to the setlist any more. He simply cannot sing a majority of their catalog these days. Even the songs they perform now he has to sing certain passages in just about every song a different way because he can't do them properly at his age. Not trying to knock him at all, it's just the reality of the situation and it obviously brings down the quality of their live shows. I want to get excited and hope for the best, but it's hard to considering all of that.

Honestly I agree....his voice starting in 2012 went outta wack. If they lowered the key to the whole set list like the original razor blade romance or Venus doom tour they could pull it off

So I checked whether the blog was actually corrected because I hadn't heard anything about it.
Turns out it was but they never even mentioned it, much less admitted they had misunderstood/just straight up invented something. Not cool, eventim >.>
The part that used to say there would be one last album now says they'll retire from the stage.


Tbh, I'm not and haven't really been excited about any HIM 'news' for a while because you honestly just can't be sure whether whatever the news say will actually happen. I got my ticket for the farewell tour as soon as possible of course and all but... I'll get excited later.

This is once again one of the situations where being a bit of a pessimist (or you know, realist) is a good thing. You won't be disappointed if you didn't really expect anything in the first place.

At this point, I could care less about the tour and would just want to know if everything is ok between them...or for them to issue a statement to why they broke up. I'd like to hear it from Linde, MIGE or Burton as I'm gonna guess they all don't share the same opinion.  Granted, Ville said they ran their course...but why during an album? There could be a million guesses

they got old, they are lazy and realised that they have been doing the same thing for too long and they need something new. Lets see what they are going to do when HIM is after the farewell tour. i think that Villes solo album is for sure. I think Linde will continue with Mige and Burton with Daniel Lioneye.

I still feel that there will be at least one new song. But seeing them so inactive makes me to think that  they will  just extend the concerts to 2h and a little putting some rarely played songs and that is it....
On the other hand Ville is very greedy about his music so it seems more logical to keep the new stuff for the new projects...

All this disinformation may be indicates  us that the band has already split up, and the tour is just their last journey together...  :( passing through the cities and playing overplayed songs  :-\

there are types of bands that are active and suddenly something happens and they break up, there is a lot of drama in the media for the fans without anything useful......And there is HIM, they break up after a year of inactivity, there is one statement in the media, besides that complete quietness, no drama, no soap opera of bullshit in the media and the band is quiet, doing something for the fans - the Farewell Tour. I mean, other bands just split up and pfff, over. We are lucky to have a Farewell tour....  that indicates that nothing bad happened, there is no bad blood between the guys and they friendly closed the chapter of their lifes.
i dont expect rare songs because that means a lot of effort at the rehearsals to practice old songs that they already forgot how to play and its a lot of work to make it with lights too and stuff... i dont expect anything extra ..... just celebrating His Infernal Majesty = biggest hits, singles and most known songs

I keep feeling like there will be an announcement any day now that all tour dates are cancelled, and that they are 100% finished.

Can they afford to cancel the tour? This will be a big amount of income before they end. Is it on his personal Facebook? I've only seen a close photo of his new drum kit for the tour.

Very true. A huge amount will go to the label though...i feel bad for Kosmo he's still fresh into the band then the split outta nowhere
