2016 PJ25 Tour Rumors

JimmyV · February 2016

Why would anyone play Safeco when Centurylink is right there? Is it a capacity thing? The whole gimmick behind that football field is that it is supposed to hold sound in. Wouldn't that benefit a concert?

safeco or century link or somewhere else, I hope to see Pearl Jam in Seattle this year. Venue doesn't matter to me. The band playing does.
It's a great city too. I look forward to returning. Just hope to get tickets.

Safeco has a retractable roof...
Might come in handy for that famous Seattle grey rain!!
I've heard the sound is pretty good there too.

If PJ25 is at Safeco I will probably skip it.

A outdoor concert in the fall equals rain. I think it's too risky for them to try.

Twins reporter @mikeberardino tweets that the twins have an offer to Pearl jam to play target field.

That might explain it!

You guys are making me rethink all the non-refundable travel plans I'm currently checking out... If there are more dates, hopefully they're announced before everyone tries to come to Wrigley. Need better odds with the lottery.

It's fun to speculate, but in all seriousness I really do doubt they will add any additional dates this spring and summer. Just seems overly ambitious for this band at this point. I do think there will be a second west coast leg including a PJ25 event but it won't be announced until well after Fenway and Wrigley go on sale. It was May 2011 when we finally got details on PJ20 after all.

Interesting... but I HIGHLY doubt it happens in 2016

Weston1283 · February 2016

I'll attend any PJ25 event. Will be special regardless of the venue.

Weston1283 · February 2016

Just thought about this. We should know by April 8th if the dates are being added or not.

If the tour Tshirts list all the spring dates AND then the Baseball stadiums, were probably not getting anything else between the baseball park shows... agreed?

I also have a standing offer for PJ to play my back yard. I'll even grill.

I personally think an entire leg will be announced to support the stadium shows

but that's just me

Don't count on it.

I don't know if it is supposed to make the audience loud. Might not be a good idea concert wise, could be a giant echo chamber where the sound just bounces off the stands. Sure it makes the audience at football games seem loud but who knows.

That's a good point. Could very well play a role.

I wouldn't be surprised if the stadium dates are not mentioned on the spring tour t-shirts. The stadium shows will have their own unique t-shirts like Wrigley did back in 2013.

If they decide to add a few dates around those shows, such as rumoured dates in Pittsburgh, Columbus, Indy, etc, I think it will be a while before we get an announcement. I wouldn't be surprised if they have holds on a bunch of venues and have yet to decide if they want to add extra shows. The band will probably want to wrap up the April/May tour and then see how they feel before adding more shows in August. So I'd say the best case scenario is that any added shows will be announced in late May.

I've been predicting all along that more dates will be announced in early march. Already rumors of other shows taking place like Osheaga, Klipsch Center, the Pittsburgh hold date of august 13 long before wrigley and Fenway were announced. The evidence is there.

I love all the speculation about an additional leg or shows, especially a west coast leg of shows. But, I am not risking anything.....flying to Miami solo from Cali....

If more shows come my way....great, if not, well then I will still be plenty pleased that I got some Springtime Florida Pearl Jam under my belt.

Although, I really want some west coast shows so I can go with the misses and other friends.

If the price is right they will have a hard time turning it down. Similar to festivals offering large amounts. If it doesn't greatly interfere with already made plans I'd say this is likely to happen. Could still happen even if it does interfere.

bootlegger10 · February 2016

I am hoping they announce another leg with the lottery including the ball park shows. I just think it would be weird to announce two tour legs so close together though so not likely. I still think it would be a jerk move to announce shows in Pittsburgh, Indy and Columbus at a later date to this first leg when they are so close in geography.

Sprunkn7 · February 2016

I'm surprised no Hartford show, even with Fenway since it's a few months later. Anyway I'm on the side that after Fenway and Wrigley are on sale they will eventually announce a West Coast tour, then PJ25.
The day this band puts the whole tour out at once is a day I would LOVE to see. It's really just one of those things we have to live with as a PJ fan and its annoying as hell.

I have many casual PJ fans and none of then got tickets at the public sale. I have a bunch of emails asking me for extras...I'm like extras??? LOL

Haha, I've had the same thing happen. I had a buddy say, "hey, can you get me some MSG and Fenway tix? I'll get you the money" I laughed and told him that I was only able to get my NY tix through a lottery and Fenway will be every man/woman for themselves. Gone are the days when you can casually hop on TM and pick up 6-8 tickets.

They should do a sound check now... It's not like the Seahawks are using the place.
