Like the other posts have indicated, you may as well not buy a ticket.
Evidently, he was very encouraged by the lineup of musicians he utilized in order to present the entirely instrumental Plight & Premonition within a live context, and equally encouraged by the enthusiastic reaction he received from the audience at the Punkt Festival. So now this totally unexpected tour has been organized and what it will consist of will undoubtedly be a surprise to us all.
I do hope Sylvian finally gets the chance to fulfill the desire to work within a fully improvisational setting, which he once expressed his interest in during an interview. If the lineup includes the musicians we now expect to be included, then we could view this as the perfect opportunity for a less structured format.
Though he found the prospect less and less intriguing, Sylvian went ahead with 2007's The World Is Everything tour - performing a good portion of older material - in order to put the past behind him. And now I think it would be extremely gracious of his fans to allow him the right to follow through on the musical path he has preferred to take.
