>>>A new tour in 2008? The rumour thread<<<

disconnected

I know Mike told a boardmember the had plans to jump into studio around april 2008, but there are rumours.

It's not on the internet, but it was in a Dutch local newspaper (Limburgs Dagblad)... The rumour is Radiohead, Pearl Jam en Rage Against The Machine are interested in pinkpop 2008...

Anyone heard other rumours?

Nope, not a thing. I don't think they'll go back to Europe that quickly either.

Mine

Pinkpop was rumored this year to.

if only

but don't think so..

go pre

the greatest thing in the world would be if pj would decide to play hawaii again in summer of 2008, preferrably in late june or early july. my then-wife and i are planning on going there for our honeymoon. hell, even a show in southern california at that time would be great.

svanzon

Pearl Jam, RATM and Radiohead at pinkpop would make my year! esp since ill be living in Holland again by then.. then again, ive learned to distrust most rumors so we'll just have to see.

elderman

I heard that Pinkpop rumour too from my Dutch girlfriend. We saw PJ on that unbelievable night in Nijmegen together. But I wont believe it till its confirmed.

I Am Gone

I think we won't see a new album until late 08 at least, so i could seethe band going on an '05 style tour of South America, maybe with a Hawaiian show and another couple of shows at the Gorge.

I would love to see them do a tour of maybe 7 or 8 cities where they play 2 gigs in each - either one acoustic and one electric, or one 10club show and one arena show.

That's a great idea. Although I'm sure they will have troulbe narrowing it down to 7 or 8 cities, especially since they couldn't possibly skip the entire south again

Would be kinda suprised if they did though (skip the south i mean)... i would def. raise my eyebrows...

Punk77

I hope not. I think PJ shouldn't be doing festivals anymore.

And let's be real. Pink-POP... That festival had it's moments in the 90's. They should try to put some new bands up there, instead of Lenny Kravitz (and others) for the 15th time.

Pearler

whats wrong with Lenny ? Lennys fuckin great. He shits all over Ben Harper.

spinDrAtl

I think in lieu of playing the south, they are just going to drop by and play my backyard pool party.

if that were true, it would be the most ridiculous lineup in the history of rock. pj and radiohead at the same show? a thom and ed duet? holy fuck. i'd quit my job and leave my family to see that!

sorry hunny

Oh yeah, and what about Faithless. It looks like he has a membership....

uhm hello?
election yr coming up?
either Ed or the band will be involved somehow so u can expect either/or another VFC type of tour with like maybe 8-10 shows or ed solo just doing a few songs like no war, times a changing, patriot, etc for political rallies. Other than that maybe a benefit show but as a band and a full out tour we wont see that till next spring/summer

Hey Alex!

Weren't the boys rumoured to play this past year at Pinkpop? If they do make it next year, I will sell blood/my eggs/my organs to get over there! Can I stay at yours? I'll bring homeade cookies for ya, lol.

didnt they just do a bridge show around the time they did hawaii or something?
If not a bridge show then something along the lines of a suprise easy street show or a benaroya/montana/northwestern school type of benefit show will be cool...other than that like I said..gimme a few dates I can get to before elections and I'll be happy

maybe Stone will tour with Brad...I think they have some new stuff coming out, and Mike will do his flight to mars thing again...they'll stay involved here n there...only ones u wont hear from prolly are Jeff and Boom.

and not until much later next year, after a full year off, and my guess is it will be just EV
you wont see a full PJ tour until 2009 me thinks

Yes, there was also a Pinkpop rumour for 2007. Homemade cookies? HMMMM

But if they plans to be in studio beginning april, pinkpop is in the end of may... Time may be short....

Pinkpop does not a tour make. Just like Lollapalooza this year wasn't part of any North American tour.

That would be AMAZING. However, as someone said, it would be Seattle, Chicago, Philly, NYC, LA, San Fran, and a couple other ones. I'd definitly make the trip to Philly though for it. It wouldn't really surprise me, so I have my fingers crossed.

I'm still feeling a mini-summer tour of the South and a couple random cities - Indy, Buffalo, Seattle, Philly, Boston, St. Louis, Alpine Valley. Maybe Penn State, Denver, or Minneapolis.

Yes, but they aren't going to come to Europe for one festival. Or they do none. Or they do a bunch. I hope the second, I think the first.

VOLITION

I hope they take the year off next year. I would rather them get a long rest from each other and then get back in the studio when they are full of fresh ideas.
Looks like 2008 is going to be a busy year for Ed

Kirkwood

I really hoping for them to touring asia(thailand, malaysia etc). Then I have 2 good reasons to travelling back there.
And it would be cool to backpack with alot of jammers!

...yeah, they still have to c*ck-tease the south for another year before returning to Europe.

CopTheRiotAct

hopefully they have a good break, but dont wait too long to get back in the studio. Theyve still got lots of inspiration from the 06 tour and unless we wanna wait years for a new record like last time or they rush the album, going in the studio soon would be an excellent move!

having some time off touring will also give them a time to rehearse some new songs back into their setlists!
