    I have a theory...

    The band plays 2 shows at Wrigley this summer... perhaps the weekend previously mentioned... they announce these are there only shows of the year... then at the same time they announce the Wrigley dvd with a presale and an on sale date that lines up with the shows... PJ Wrigleymania begins and it cements PJ essentially having a residency @ Wrigley Field... it would help create a buzz and sell the physical dvd/blu ray which is becoming harder by the day for anything outside of Star Wars lol

    They could announce the shows with fairly short notice and sell out in seconds... with Ed's connections the logistics are probably cake... Theo can make it happen with a snap of the fingers... and they could keep it quiet which would explain nothing blowing in the wind (except those pennants)... and they could secure a TON of 10c tix...

    I like your enthusiasm...that said, Wrigley already has a record 10 concerts booked for 2017:

    11 or 12 is highly unlikely at best. Unless PJ plays a day game!

    Is this where the show list goes?

    11-26-91 / 8-2-92 / 3-15-94 / 7-9-95 / 7-11-95 / 8-29-98 / 9-1-00 / 10-25-03 
    10-23-04 / 10-22-06 / 10-9-09 / 10-23-10 / 10-3-12 / 7-9-13 / 10-21-13
    11-24-13 / 11-26-13 / 10-17-14 / 10-20-14 / 10-25-14 / 4-8-16 / 4-9-16
     4-28-16 / 4-29-16 / 8-20-16 / 8-22-16 / 8-10-18 / 8-18-18 / 8-20-18

    I remember when I was complaining about "2017 will probably be overseas tour and a few festivals in the us, oh boy I hate festival pj"

    Ok I take it back, give me festival pj for 2017. Something. Anything. Please!

    According to the news, this year's Fyre Festival was a complete debacle. People were flying home the same day.

    Right! This thread is 2017 dead.

    Initially, I thought they'd want to do something to celebrate the HOF induction. I just didn't think it would be to have a merch cleaning frenzy.

    That's 33% of the way through 2017 though. And the way PJ plans out their tours, in terms of announcement until the concert dates, there is usually a fairly significant gap.

    But most importantly, wasn't there some discussion as to them getting together and deciding to take the year off or something?

    July. That's when 2013's tour was announced. Everyone forgets this. It's not even May! Optimism. And August will be a year off technically.

    When was Wrigley announced in 2013? I don't recall. The show was July. This is a good point though and gives hope for something to come later this year. It would have to be Nov/Dec though IMO.

    I recall my eyes watering up at my computer in February when I didn't initially get Tix for the London show.

    The 2013 Wrigley show was announced in January I believe. December of 2012 was filled with rumors of it happening.

    I certainly hope I'm wrong and I'd gladly eat crow. Watching the HOF induction really got me going through withdrawals.

    The other thing is Ed won't play in October anymore with playoff baseball so Nov. would be earliest, which would be fine with me. Let's hope. A July announcement would be great.

    A November/December tour would be perfect. Being from the Midwest, I'm hoping for a West coast tour to give me an excuse to travel.

    ^^me too. I'd love to get out of the Midwest for a show or two that time of year.
