There are gaps in between dates, so additional cities maybe added at a later date (Collins did mention in the press conference there would be 20). This leg of the tour does not have any corporate sponsorship, but is being handled by Canadian company, Concert Productions International.

As for the conference, no new relevant information about the tour popped up during the Q&A session. The setup was fraught with microphone problems which made it hard to hear questions being asked.
