Still a chance for Toronto?

The Pearl Jam May Newsletter only mentioned US dates coming up do we still have a chance for a Toronto show? Any Thoughts?

    I think yes, especially if plans are not final yet.

    I really really hope so as that's where I live now! I caught them in Buffalo last year. When I got the newsletter and read that more Fall tour dates will be announced I immediately thought "please include TO!!!!"...having said that I'd probably drive to Ohio, etc. Just hope the out of town dates are on a Friday or weekend!

    I'm sure there will be. Since I live in Toronto, I really hope they will come this time. Matt Cameron is temporarily not with Soundgarden so I can't see why they won't have time for Toronto. I remember in February last year, when Trent Reznor reactivated Nine Inch Nails, he stated that they would do a Fall Arena Tour in the U.S. and still played FIVE Canadian cities (Montreal, Toronto, Vancouver, Edmonton and Calgary).

    I dunno man... Leafs might be in the playoffs... the ACC probably won't let them have any arena holds in September...

    Playoffs aren't in September.
    There will be some preseason games, but there would be plenty of time for a show or two.
    They could also play the Amphitheatre in September as well.

    Based on absolutely zero information, I'm guessing it's a no-go for Canada this year. I hope I am wrong for your sakes!

    being that my team actually makes the playoffs, I'm fully aware they are not in september... ;)

    I was taking a crack at the old thread talking about toronto shows in May, and a whole bunch of Toronto peeps suggested it would be difficult with the venue holding dates for leafs playoff games...

    I think its still possible. If its a bunch of US shows and Toronto, I could see them still saying "US". If they said the broad "North American shows", and only Toronto showed up, those in Montreal, Vancouver, Calgary, etc would be peeved.

    Good Call. I think your theory might be right.

    I've heard Canada will get some shows. Still trying to get details.

    Frankly, I'd be surprised if Montreal and Toronto didn't get a couple... that will probably be the start or end of the "tour"

    Anywhere else is highly unlikely.

    I haven't heard anything in Winnipeg about a show this year. Every once in a while though, Pearl Jam does a good job keeping plans under wraps. No one expected London, ON to get a show last summer before Wrigley.

    Winnipeg makes sense but only if Minneapolis gets a show, kind of like Calgary last year (which was also unexpected). The MTS Centre is one of the busiest arenas in North America. PJ is about the cash, if a promoter gives them a large enough guarantee and it makes sense with their routing, they'll play.

    It'll be interesting to see what they do with Toronto since it seems to have gratuated to a two-show city. If they play Toronto x2, Austin x2, Louisville or Cincy and then Denver, that's not leaving a lot of shows for the rest of the tour (assuming it's the usual three weeks, 12 or 13 shows).

    I find that statement very hard to swallow.

    I'd have to see a lot more stats to prove to me that MTS centre is a busy arena with MAJOR events.... i'm not counting shit like the Manitoba wheat and barely fair.

    Winnipeg 3 x in the last 10 years, versus Houston 0 ? does that not seem completely ridiculous to anyone else?

    Geez shep you're constant complaining about Houston not getting a show grows very old. Austin is a mere two and a half hours away; the Dallas show was under four hours. They aren't playing Houston but they are playing around you.
    By the way, I do hope you get a show but chill a little.
    I'll ride the wave where it takes me......

    Check on pollstar. It's one of the 20 or 25 busiest arenas in North America. Almost every major pop/rock tour comes through here. I think Winnipeg and Toronto were the only two Canadian cities to get a Jay Z/Beyonce stadium show. When PJ played here in 2005 they sold out every seat, 16,000 tickets the first day of the on sale.

    Re-read my first post before you insult a city you know nothing about. I wasn't claiming winnipeg was getting a show, in fact I'd be surprised if PJ plays here this year.

    I'd be surprised if Winnipeg gets a show too.... although that would be awesome, since I think my airmiles would actually get me there, so I could save on airfare. It's expensive to fly to Toronto! ..... My fingers are crossed for the Gorge, but the weather would be so unpredictable there in October, so I dunno about that.

    Yeah, they're not all about the cash. I think that's glaringly obvious. Do they want to make money? Of course. It's their careers and they have a big crew to pay. Touring is where they earn most of their money now. But they really care about putting on awesome shows and making their fans happy too.

    For the record the statement was meant in jest. I am from St. John's, Newfoundland... I have full rights to sling insults at any major city in Canada, as the rest of the country slings insults at my whole province. ;)

    And I don't dis-believe you on the MTS center.... I'm just surprised, I never would have guessed that would be true. I will read a little more up on it.

    Respectfully, no.

    I'll stop bringing up Houston when people from New York stop saying "Gee, they haven't played MSG in a while" ... or when people from Chicago stop complaining about the how they don't want any more special PJ events, they just want a regular show...

    I went to dallas and I kept driving to OKC. Austin is difficult for me to swing, as I have a 7-5 job monday to friday that I need to be at and they're playing sunday night....

    How is me asking for a Houston show any different than the People from Milwuakee asking for a show? or cincinatti? detroit? or upstate new york/new england.

    There's a large enough population base in Houston that the fact that the city is just continuously ignored is a little annoying.

    I don't want to give my money to the louisiania economy, sorry. they get enough of my business at work. The city of Austin collects my tax dollars... I feel I give them enough too. Sorry. I'd just like to spend some of my hard earned dollars on the Houston economy. Call me greedy.

    You can easily hit up the Austin show then make the 2.5 hour drive back to Houston with plenty of time to rest and clean up before work. I'd gladly take that over the 5 hour drive back to Toronto from Montreal right after the show and the subsequent 5 hour drive back to Toronto from Ottawa right after the show exactly a week later during the '11 tour (went right to work for 8am the following morning on both occasions). Mind you, I'll never do something that stupid again.

    Yea, that about sums it up.

    I have done that drive, not once, but twice in the past. Once I was driving, once someone else was driving. Almost died on both occasions due to sleep deprived driver at the wheel almost driving off the road. Not a word of exaggeration either.

    not doing it again.
