When Fuel Concert Tour?
Fuel has indicated that it is now ready to stage its next performance after the disruptions occasioned by the COVID-19 pandemic.
American rock band Fuel has not performed in front of a live audience for more than two years now due to the COVID-19 epidemic sweeping the globe in early 2020. Still, fans are excited to see the band performing once more as policies loosen and people resume their more normal lives.
Carl Bell on guitar and Jeff Abercrombie on bass started Fuel in 1989. Before publishing their second album "Sunburn" in 1998, which included "Shimmer," their first big hit, Fuel kept touring and recording during the next ten years with their most recent album, "Puppet Strings," in 2014. But when singer Brett Scallions quit the group in the same year, the next intended touring cycle was called off.
Then in 2018 the band welcomed John Boecklin as a new vocalist and appeared to be getting ready for their first live gigs in years. Only a few shows, though, came to pass before the COVID-19 epidemic resulted in lockdowns in March 2020, which drove Fuel off the stage permanently.
Rules forbidding live music in the band's native United States have been relaxed a year and two later, suggesting that the protracted wait for a new concert tour may soon be short-lived. Some people connected with the band's management claim Fuel intends to return on stage this summer; the venues and dates are yet unknown.
Many of the fans believe that the announcement of a Fuel tour in 2022 is far overdue. "I am excited to hear some of those older songs live once more," said Peters, a devoted fan for many years. "I missed that feeling one can only get from attending their live performances; the band has such a great energy when they play songs like 'Hemorrhage' and 'Bad Day."
Fuel events are well-known for bands presenting a set with stronger material in their repertory and performing with an "A" game. Since the band was established at the end of the 1990s, Bell and Boecklin have been known for switching the lead vocals and lead guitar and executing intricate guitar riffs. Many devoted followers most likely await the group to return to such sound on the postponed future tour.
The band has not revealed the expected specifics, hence the Fuel fans are keen to find out what the next chapter of the band offers for them. Some supporters, like Fuel_Up_833 in the fan forum, also expressed uncertainty about the forthcoming performance: "I wonder if they are going to perform pieces which were even more recent or older pieces?" John [Boecklin] has been with them for a few years, hence I would assume they have shared more of their latest creations.
Other fans simply want Fuel back on the live scene and perform whatever song they have in mind; they are not as bothered about the setlist. "I don't care if I hear all new tunes or just the hits," FuelFan13 commented using Reddit as a social media platform. "I'm simply pleased they're touring so we can mosh at concerts once again.”
Which cities and sites the returning rockers will perform at is yet unknown. On the other hand, there are whispers of a big festival tour and even hints of other likable bands from the '90s and 2000s touring. Every day, people continue looking for the first concrete social media signs.
This is what band fans seem to agree on: the start of the much-awaited Fuel concert run will provide some amazing, adrenalized performances regardless of the tour dates or promised new content. As such, they will have to make do with listening to records and seeing concert recordings while they wait for the next performance.
"It will be fantastic when those guys return on stage," exclaimed super fan Amanda Fields in line with the general opinion of band fans. "Well, I think that all that energy will direct their upcoming performances to be among the most dynamic ones.’
