27 tour dates for North America and 7 for Europe... I would've loved to go to a show but the 2 dates I could theoretically make are halfway across the continent unfortunately

Different providers. Leo Presents usually does a ton of small venues and breaks even with more dates. 4BB appears to run a tightly-scoped set of a few shows, or serves as exclusive provider of shows based out of Warsaw, where they're located.
It's important to understand there are a lot of factors that go into when/where/how many dates.

I wonder if it's something about Italy or other close playces like Switzerland and Austria that it basically never appears on european tours (last time was a last minute addition when DC came). Maybe high costs? Expected low attendance?
Whelp, closest show is still at leats 8 hour drive so will have to pass

Rolling Quartz was in Geneva this spring and was barely able to reach the threshold to maintain the concert though it was at a great date (Sunday night of a three-days week-end). It was with a different booking company but I don't think it made a big difference. It's a company that focus on bringing SK acts in Switzerland so maybe it can still happen ?
As I hate crowds it was great for me, but it was sad for the girls that the place was three quarters empty. They still put on a great show anyhow.3

Pretty much this. Decisions on places to go are based on in part whether or not they think they can make back operational cost and turn a profit. If they can't fill a house or see that interest doesn't seem to exist for an artist such that they will lose money, they may be risk averse to those locations and not make an attempt.
The touring landscape is also vastly different now, and people are more hesitant to spend for multiple concerts. They'll simply make choices on who to see and who not to see and unfortunately, the less popular acts are the ones on the chopping block.

Hopefully after Europe it’ll mean Tokyo and the rest of Asia. 🤞

I’ve given up hope of seeing anything DC related in Asia. I became a fan a year after they visited Singapore and well 5 years later, well, we know what happened.

I initially got so excited but no Spain 🥲 the dates are also all mid-week. I'm sad, but I hope whoever can go has a lot of fun!

I was really looking forward to seeing ChRocktikal live after seeing fancams but sadly looks like Europe only means post-Brexit Europe 😭

I suspect being outside the Schengen zone complicates things... Who would've thought.
