Personally, I think this will ruin things for me to some degree. A lot of concert-goers would prefer not to know what the band will play before they actually see the show. With me especially, since I'll be travelling thousands of miles, I don't want to have one little bit of the concerts ruined like this. I guess I'll have to be careful when navigating the forums, because surely setlists will be posted.
Anyone agree, or at least understand my position?
I agree with you GH
I myself often try not to "spoil" my experience of a concert by finding out what the playlist is. I like the sense of surprise...it adds a incredible amount of in-the-moment excitement that makes the gig all that more enjoyable and memorable for me.
Yes, you and me both will have to be VERY careful when readint future threads regarding the Tour once it starts. Perhaps we will get lucky and people will warn us ahead of time of any "spoilers" they are about to list!
I can kind of guess at what they WILL play (is'nt hard to figure out Queen-song wise if you think for a minute about it) but i would rather enjoy the thrill of the CHANCE of MAYBE hearing these songs i am dreaming of and wait until the actual night before knowing for sure.
FOLKS: When you start posting your "lists" please say SPOILERS AHEAD! for those of us who want to remain surprised the night of the show! Thanks a bunch!

If setlists are to be announced, I'll just stay at home and listen to albums.
not really
cuz sometimes you dont know what they are playing, unless you know ahead
few times I went to see bands I liked but didnt know what they were playing cuz it sounded so vastly different.
Yes, I think something like "spoilers ahead" would be very fair.
Something like "QUEEN/RODGERS OPENED WITH INNUENDO!!!!" would completely ruin it for a lot of us.
If the band would mix up their sets then posting the setlists would not be a problem. They have more than enough songs that they could play a different show every night. They probably wont but it would sure be nice. Otherwise we all only need to see one show. IMHO the same sets night after night are boring no matter how much I love the band.
