We are opening a new it's not a tour rumor thread

Weston1283

I'm 95% sure it's Billy Joel

- a sad but still 5% hopeful clevelander

And Progressive gets a couple country concerts every year, but non-country? Sheesh, it's been awhile. Everyone plays the Q when they come here.

(seriously, how did this thread get to be 25+ pages with no actual rumors?)

yea at least last year's thread had some substance to it

Maybe someone needs to post a picture of tree so we can analyze the buds on it to determine if the rumor is true or not

Let's be honest... this thread could never live up to the legendary 2016 PJ25 Tour Rumors thread

I think we had Rolling Stone sourcing us for dates lol

I miss the days of Ticketmaster seat map drops and the wonderful people operating the Rupp arena signs

"80's doo-wop Joel sucks!!"

we need a new album.
3 years in same tour is enough.

I believe I read the Cleveland baseball stadium concert will be announced today around 12:30 eastern.
Separately, U2 may be announcing their tour schedule on Monday, which will include outdoor stadiums.
Given the timing, and the lack of tweets to make sure memberships are up to date, I don't think the Jacob's field / progressive field show announced in a few hours today will be PJ or U2.
Maybe Billy Joel?

I heard it was Billy Joel.

Was just about to post this. They just emailed the Braves season ticket holders about it.

Looks like Billy Joel is also playing Wrigley again (4th year in a row) on August 11. http://m.mlb.com/chc/tickets/info/billyjoel
Cubs on the road August 7-13... could PJ play sometime that week, too?

Why would anyone want to see a ballpark show in Cleveland? Arena is so much better.

I don't think anyone said it was their first choice... I prefer an arena show like everyone else... I just take what I can get and think it would be a great way to celebrate the HOF and i would be there in a heartbeat... i just don't think 3 songs in Brooklyn with a bunch of suits is all that exciting

Yeah, I have no urge to go to Brooklyn.

haha! I'm sure it'll be a blast. I just won't drop that kind of $ to fly from Portland for a few songs.

For whatever this Cleveland reporter knows:

"Left up in the air is whether this show will lead to others. Major bands like Pearl Jam, U2 and Guns N' Roses are planning stadium tours this summer. Pearl Jam's status as the big name in the Class of 2017 for the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame had been mentioned as the most likely headliner for this show"

I don't think PJ has ever done a full stadium tour so that'd be a first. I guess most of the SA venues they've played are stadiums tho

What would a full NA studium tour look like? 10-15 dates?

I think they can in the bigger cities. We already saw them sell out four dates in Chicago and Boston.

If they don't crowd the touring zone, then they could pull it off. I think they could play Citi Field for two nights but don't play philly. One night metlife but again no philly.

Also, think they would have to get solid opening acts as well

If they ever did a stadium tour, one would have to think the first new stadium on the list would be Citizens Bank in Philly. PJ loves Philly, plain and simple.
