I wonder why they chose to do silhouettes instead of pics or no pics of the ladies.

I wonder why they chose to do silhouettes instead of pics or no pics of the ladies.

I have a few guesses:
- They don't know the lineup yet (probable) and don't want to further confuse fans if the lineup changes.
- They think the lineup might change between now and then (possible)
- They're planning to bring back some guests and rotate the lineups (maybe)
- They want to keep the lineup it a surprise, whether they know the expected lineup(s) or not (maybe)
- It's a placeholder. There will a be a photo with some or all of the expected performers later (definitely).

I wonder  why celebrate the 20th in ‘24 and not ‘25.
The last anniversaries were 10/15 years  from the RELEASE of the original show (‘15, ‘20)/beginning of the tour and not from the taping of the original  show.
Is it possible since the 15 year celebration got halted so quickly they want to celebrate for two years??
Do we think the show they do next year will get recorded and released and then the ‘25 tour will promote that live recording similar to the 2018 homecoming tour??

Everything CWazyTom said!!!
However I have to say they never in their history put a random silhouette w/o it looking like who the member was...

CWX didn't have a silhouette although they advertised Emerald cast and there was a darken Lisa L on Dulaman pose but that wasn't CW doing that!

Since they've announced a new member to replace Megan I wonder if the lineup will be Muirgen/Emma/Hannah/Tara/rotating 5th member?

I can't wait to hear how they'll sound, especially with all 3 ladies being Sopranos again, they may mix it up with who takes lower range on different songs.

I really don't think there will be a rotating 5th member

Granuaile: Nice find! Important too! Important because we know 2024 is the anniversary tour and not a "normal" spring tour. I guess they did drop hints about it, as a reason they cancelled the 2023 tour.

Does that mean no new music til then or after???

If we do get new music it wouldn't surprise me if we get another Emerald or Voices of Angels type album? either 100% new recordings of old stuff (like Emerald) or one that's largely remakes but with a few new songs sprinkled in (like Voices of Angels). Next year will be 10 years since the Emerald Tour so either one wouldn't surprise me. It wouldn't surprise me if the 2016-18 VOA/Homecoming cycle was repeated: CD only album, tour, record live CD/DVD, release live CD/DVD, Tour again. I know I've said this but I'll say it again I wonder if they want a nice long 20th anniversary tour because the 15th anniversary tour got cut so short.

I can't wait to hear how they'll sound, especially with all 3 ladies being Sopranos again, they may mix it up with who takes lower range on different songs.

The new member's voice Emma reminds soooo much of Mairead C! This is the closest we'll get to hearing how Muirgen would sound with Mairead C. It looks like they went the route like ( Celebration 2021)

Hannah - Chloe
Emma - Mairead C
Muirgen- Megan/Eabha
now can take the Eabha spot Megan has had

I and a few others have thought Muirgen would sounded better in Eabhas parts but at the time Megan shined them amazingly with her accented voice of hers.

They've only swapped voices on TAR!

This time around it be so fresh whether it's old songs or new or mix since the entire soloists are new yes Muirgen hasn't been on an album with classic CW songs yet! I'm gearing for a mix old and new like VOA.

I doubt that now actually since now with two new member's!
That doesn't mean it won't happen..
Can we have at least a special this time...Celebration and CWX were the best!
