hey everybody
i was taking look at the list of the venues in which Queen+PR are gonna performe and i couldn't find any of them familiar, maybe that's because i'm from US and I have no idea about the ither country's venues but I was just wondering about the size of the venues in which they are gonna perform.
can somebody who knows this stuff let me know.
thanks

Well, I am from Austria and the Stadthalle in Vienna (where Queen + Paul Rodgers will perform on 13th of April) holds close to 15.000 people. Its located near the center of the city (about 25 minutes from my flat). Its the same site where Queen performed in 1978, 1982, 1984 and 1986. Its the most historic site for rock and pop concerts in Austria through the past 35 years (though not the best place for a concert since its only an indoor venue - well, a positive aspect for light shows). Other rock and pop artists who performed there are countless - but the list includes David Bowie (in the 70s and 90s and recently in 2003 / I was there), The Rolling Stones (beginning in 1965), Prince (in 1987), Pink Floyd (in 1977), Kiss, A-Ha, Paul McCartney (beginning in 1976), Elton John, Metallica and many others (including the fucking Britney Spears). The Stadthalle has been modified recently and now its holds about 13.000 to 14.000 people.
I have also been to the Olympia Halle in Munich to watch A-Ha with my girlfriend in 2002 and I think this venue has a capacity of around 9.000 people.
