‘It looks a lot like what you do. The live experience is so volatile, at the end of a show people lose all their inhibitions, and then it is over. You have to be there. That is what is magical.

‘There will be two different shows, we make a show together that evolve changes and evolves, and every now and then few surprises are based.

‘The theaters are more intimate and give us the chance to bring out one or two things that we would not put in the arenas. They give us the chance to play songs from the new album and songs from other albums that we have never played before.

“And we have some great nights on the big shows in the Arenas, we fit the show to the place where we play and our mantra is” we want people to have the best evening of their lives. ” Every night must be brilliant. ‘
