As always we'll have to wait for official confirmation, but this site reports that Greyson will be promoting his album in 3 additional countries. Apr. 24-28 in Taiwan Apr. 29-May 1 in Hong Kong May 2-6 in Thailand news.getmusicasia.com/2012/03/12/greyson-chance-promo-tour-confirmed/Edit: This site is run by UMG for Asia, so it's probably a sure thing.

This makes a lot of sense. I know some of the early links we had to sites selling the CD mentioned a promo trip to Hong Kong (I think it was HK). I had been thinking that they were making an awfully long trip for just a few dates and couldn't believe that they wouldn't be doing more stuff over in that part of the world. Hopefully Greyson and the band and everybody get to do some touristy things over there and enjoy some of the culture.

They're certainly spending enough time in these places; one would think they would be able to work in some sight-seeing. Do we know for sure that Greyson's band is actually going with him -- at least for the 4 concerts? Anyone read a tweet from a member?

Camryn tweeted about going to asia with Greyson and Hayden responded with "crazy! See you soon!" Don't know if that means that he will be going also... I think he is though because Greyson has said they're doing full scale shows this time and it wouldn't be a complete show without hayden (;

I guess the only reason that I thought the band was going was b/c Hayden RTed Greyson's announcement about the tour and said "For those that have been asking" or something like that. Now that I think about it, I guess that isn't any kind of indication at all. I had just gotten the impression for some reason. Anybody else "heard" anything from the band members indicating that they will be headed over there with Greyson? I am a person that LOVES to travel, so I always see these things about people going overseas and wonder how they can go all the way over there and not try and see and do it all. However, I would see a trip to Asia as a once in a lifetime kind of thing and I doubt that will be the case for Greyson

The concerts that Greyson is doing in Asia are full capacity, large concerts. I'm sure the entire band is going, and he will have one to two openers. There will probably be large scale production too. Thats what most concerts in these types of venues are comprised of. I'm sure the band members will start tweeting about everything when it gets closer. Maybe it is new band members... who knows?

They will be full scale concerts. Greyson tweeted a while ago saying he was approving the new stage layout and other creatives. It has also been announced that teen singer "Camryn" will be one of his warm up acts. I suspect this will be a full band situation. Also remember that in each location Greyson will most likely doing press, TV, Radio, Magazine spots much like he did last year. 2 Days of press and 1 day for shows seems to be the norm... Anyway here is a post and promotional video about Camryn and her participation in the tour! greysonchanceuniverse.blogspot.com/2012/03/video-greyson-chance-announces-teen.htmlCan't wait for all the videos and "durian" style side stories that come out of this trip!

Hey, I've seen Elton John sell out and play arenas with just him and the piano. It was mostly b/c of the size of the venues that I pretty much assumed that he'd be playing with the band. I like it when he does both in a show so hopefully he'll do some acoustic songs as well as the standard ones with the band. (Being the expert that I am in all things music, he needs to play HIIYE acoustically ) Even though it is on the other side of the world, it is great how much coverage we get of his events over there and I hope it is just as much as the first trip.

Agree - a mix of band/acoustic would be nice. I suspect there will be both - Greyson's team is smart. I also think that this is somewhat of a dry run for his tour in the states. Work out the bugs in Asia and then hit the ground running for the U.S. tour. I bet Asia/US shows will be almost identical. I don't know why I think that other than my similar expertise in all things music <sarcastic grin> I really have no idea how things will unfold but have seen other groups do similar things.... Coverage should be good and I bet there will lots of press ops to sort through and report on!

Hayden just tweeted saying he has been preparing for asia with Greyson. I am assuming that if he's going he will be accompanied by the rest of the band also. Im not sure about Willy though...is he still touring with DEMI?

Does anyone know if these dates are 100% confirmed? They are not listed on Greyson's website which is odd...

that site is most likely correct because they were the first to announce the special asia edition and to view the "Take A Look At Me Now" video, you had to like their page.
