    I wouldn't be surprised if the announcement is just about the London and Wrigley shows.

    Thanks Morello,
    Been looking for something like this for ages :)

    I'm enjoying everyones comment to zero hours- Part of the journey is enjoying the ride to the destination.
    If a tour is announced- I intend of having my first O/S trip ever to see at least one concert(ie Bucket List)
    Passport application is in- just in case. :D

    I'm truly hoping there is much more to it than that. If that is true I will never be excited about any pre-whatever "buzz" again.

    The countdown is done for publicity of an upcoming album. Not for staggered dates of cities being played. How do I know? Because they wouldn't be broadcasting this countdown on Good Morning America and major news stations as well as local news stations if it wasn't a national release like an album. The tours now are so small, that going for major publicity that PJ has done with this countdown, for only a few cities being played, wouldn't make sense. It would piss fans across the country off. That's why I think it's strictly album and 1st song release publicity.

    Hopefully it will be played in PJ radio at the same time since there is zero chance of the site not crashing


    Yes. SiriusXM will have it as will the radio station here.

    I have to agree that it's the album. Hoping and praying for tour but its gotta be album. They're even talking about it on radio in L.A. So...album w maybe some tour info too??? Waiting and watching, anticipating... :corn:
  • KimmiebyromKimmiebyrom Posts: 1,832
    If they're releasing a single and announcing more info about the album, there's no reason they can't announce tour dates as well. However, I do think they'll probably wait until after Wrigley to release tour dates. Anything is possible for sure.

    It'll be album title and first single release dates, possibly album tracklist also.

    I reckon tour dates will come later.
    Come to send, not condescend...

    OK. For me, it's about the first single pre-order and new album pre-order for sure. I'm just hoping for a world tour and a release of the Alpine Valley boots in CD, vinyl, digital download, DVD, Blu-Ray and book. Fingers crossed.

    Bring on the tour baby! Come to Kansas City or anywhere close please. All time greatest band ever.

    I am inclined to not believe it's a tour announcement, the only reason being no little birdies have told us to keep our membership up to date...although that's certainly not a rule, and things can change.

    I can't shake the idea that there is a small chance we'll be riding home from work on Monday afternoon listening to the new album. Like when we woke up one day and Radiohead was all like "Hey, we've got a new album, it's called In Rainbows, you can download it right now, pay what you want." Not likely, but a man can dream.

    I definitely feel like it's more likely album news than tour news.

    Correct me if I'm wrong but I do believe on their Facebook page a few weeks back they said to make sure you are renewed. It's going to be a tour announcement for sure IMHO.

    Although it's not going to happen, KC or STL like in 2010 would be fantastic.

    Like many others have said, I think this countdown will be an all-inclusive announcement of some sort for the new album, single, and tour. Some news on Alpine boots would be great too.

    Monday will be great.

    Yes, they've given ample warning on Facebook and twitter. There was no tweet for Wrigley either, right?

    Yesterday, a DJ on Radio 104.5 in Philly announced that on Monday morning they were going to have a major concert announcement for our area. She reiterated that it was a big one...

    Countdown ending Monday morning - coincidence???

    Between this and my Wrigley tickets - it is a fun month to be a PJ fan!

    I have a really hard time believing all this hype and countdown business is just for a tour. Don't get me wrong, seeing PJ live is still an incredible experience, but this is a hell of a lot of build-up for a tour announcement.

    Depends on how you look at. Really, all they did was put a countdown up. The only ones making a big deal of it is the fans. I think anything short of saying they will release 17 new albums a month for 2 years free of charge, followed by a tour to every venue that holds at least 60 people for less than 5 bucks each will be met with much flak around these parts. I am just hoping for either a new album or a show around my area or both - but come what may. :)

    That's the thing - that's not all they did. It's a constant presence on Twitter, Facebook and through press releases. They're blanketing social media with this big tease buildup, which doesn't make sense for a tour.

    There's a lot of people outside this club that would go see PJ every chance they got and never buy a new album. Most of my friends fall in this category.

    Oh I know that, but what I mean is that it is a publicity stunt that can't possibly live up to the expectations of everyone; especially some of our uberfans here.
