I'll confirm it's not Ed solo tour, but full band Europe tour. Now maybe Ed also does solo stuff later, but I do know Europe tour is a go. Summer is when I was led to believe. If I can get specifics like dates and countries, I'll let u know. I'm hoping to hear news about US tour as well.
Thats interesting, and maybe the plan changed, but are you sure this isnt old information? I heard a euro tour was likely and then was put on the side, and its unlikely there will be any dates until the very back end of next year. I sincerely hope you got updated info though and they went full circle
The only part I'm not sure about is when they will be over there. Like I said earlier; he alluded to summer time, but I may have misunderstood that part. I'm 100% confident it's current info, and pretty confident it's in the summer.

To me it's that way: 1. Article was put here 2. 10C is reading it 3. 10C is fucking annoyed about this part: "she told the secret!" 4. 10C gives a Benny to the author to clean this passage (btw: Karrie Keyes has to pay for that Benny) 5. everyone thinks that they won't tour in late 2017, but ... 6. ... THEY WILL DO!
I never understood why this band is so secretive about touring. It really is lame.
I think part of them trying to keep things under wraps is that they seem to change their minds and their plans more than most arena acts. U2 just announced a tour and Metallica is about to announce a tour and both of those have been in the works for months, and rumoured on their respective forums.
Remember the on/off/just about didn't happen PJ spring tour in 2010? PJ was supposed to play ACL and the west coast USA in fall 2008 but that got scrapped. Then there were rumours of a tour in May 2014 with a solid sources they had holds on venues in Toronto and St. Louis as well as Lollapalooza that year (a member on the Lolla board brought up the fact again recently PJ and Kanye were both booked for 2014 and bailed). Then of course we have the Euro 2016 tour and some Euro 2017 festivals that appear to have been tentatively booked and then scrapped. Finally, there was the rumours Alpine Valley show again on Labour Day 2012 with a tour around the festival dates (apparently they had a hold on Alpine and Des Moines, Iowa), which were canned in favour of a handful of festival dates (I'm guessing Ed having to reschedule his solo dates and the MIA appearance changed this)
I have no inside info either. As a fan, these are just the instances I remember off the top of my head. It seems like things change a little faster and more often in Pearl Jam world than with other bands this size and they now try to keep things quieter knowing plans can change, and have changed before.

If I am going to Europe this summer, I need to know now!!!! LOL
Im still thinking this is a possibility and one of the reasons for the amended crew article....If we get to the end of the month with no news then that'll be the end of chances for 2017.

touring and everything else. i follow a lot of bands and they're the only one that refuses to give information or at least big hints on albums and tours before they officially announce them.
This show, another show, a show here and a show there.
I dont see that quote in the article. Word searched for Pearl and 2017. No hits on that quote. Did I miss it?

Front and Center: Sound Engineer And Co-Founder of Soundgirls, Karrie Keyes
By Myki Angeline
Sound engineer Karrie Keyes has spent over two decades monitoring sound for some of the biggest names in rock like Pearl Jam and The Red Hot Chili Peppers...and she accomplished this as a mother of twin daughters. A true inspiration to women in a field where women make up only 5% of audio engineers. That is why she co-founded Soundgirls; to give women (and those who identify as women) a platform to support working in professional audio and music production by highlighting their success and providing a place for them to connect, network, and share advice.
We are thrilled to be presenting Karrie Keyes with a 2017 She Rocks Award at the upcoming NAMM Show in January. In honor of the occasion, she recently spoke with us on her life on the road with Pearl Jam, how she overcame the struggles of being a woman in the sound engineer industry, and what Soundgirls has in store for 2017.
Visit Soundgirls website here.
WiMN: Congratulations on being a She Rocks Awards honoree! What are you looking forward to most at the ceremony, and what does it mean to you to receive this award?
KK: I attended the awards for the first time in 2015, and loved hearing the stories and achievements from the honorees. The sense of community that this awards show creates is very important and empowering. I am humbled to be honored. The hard work I do on a day to day basis for the SoundGirls community is important for women and girls. To be recognized for that work is very rewarding.
WiMN: Give us your professional title and what you do as a part of SoundGirls. How long have you been a part of this organization?
KK: I am the co-founder and executive director of SoundGirls. I run the organization on a day to day basis. That includes: editor, finance, website, social media, organizing workshops and seminars, answering email, speaking engagements, community outreach, fundraising, developing our Live Sound Camp for Girls. Basically everything.
WiMN: What was your introduction to music in your youth?
KK: I would just fall in love with songs I heard on the radio. I think differently than some, to the point I would be so emotionally excited when they came on the radio. Back then, I took music lessons from about 3rd grade through middle school. Options to work in music were not presented to me in high school, but it was something that called to me. I tried to remain content by being a fan and attending as many concerts and shows as I could.
That is one thing SoundGirls works to change. We feature monthly profiles on Women Audio Engineers, so now when young girls are searching online for female audio engineers they have a face; a role model. You can’t be something you can’t see.
WiMN: You aspired to be a writer when you were younger, and travel the world. Do you still write now? Have you traveled the world?
KK: I love to write and I write a lot of content for SoundGirls, so that is nice. I have been able to travel to a lot of places by touring with bands.
WiMN: What attracted you to audio/monitor engineering?
KK: I had the desire to be around music and that creativity. So, when I had the chance to hang out at shows and help a local sound company, I just jumped at it. You can take a lot of chances when you are 17. From there I learned on the job and eventually was running the stage and able to mix monitors for the support bands and eventually the headliners.
WiMN: Describe one of your most memorable sessions.
KK: Oh geez! There are too many. When I was working one-offs on a regular basis, everyday had the potential to be a magical and memorable experience. The power of live performance to transform, elevate, empower...to transport to another a place is - well there is nothing else like it.
WiMN: Do you play any instruments?
KK: Not now.
WiMN: Can you tell us about some of the projects you are working on currently?
KK: SoundGirls! We are just gearing up for our annual fundraising, which provides scholarships to any girl that wants to attend our Live Sound Camp for Girls during the summer. Last year we provided four camps across the U.S. with over 100 girls attending and providing 70% of the girls attending scholarships. (The camps and SoundGirls is open to all genders and non-conforming genders. Our membership base is about 35% male and 65% female). We are close to launching a directory for Women in Music Production - where women and those that identify as women can upload their resumes, experience, job discipline. The directory is free and can be utilized by anyone that is looking to hire women for their production team. Now, when people say they want to hire women but can't find them - there will be a directory full of them.
Lastly, Pearl Jam should hit the road in late 2017 which will round out the year.
WiMN: Have you ever faced adversity in the music industry simply for being a woman? If so, how did you overcome it? Do you feel it made you a stronger, tougher person?
KK: Once the road manager for Pearl Jam posted a picture of the women on the crew (which we have several from Production Manager, Production Coordinator, Lighting Designer, Monitor Engineer, Management, Photography and Fan Club, Lighting Crew) with the caption, 'The Tougher Side of the Pearl Jam Crew'.
Women must work harder, smarter, and be tougher, and by being those things is how you overcome adversity. Since starting SoundGirls I have learned that the issues women face are not limited to women; it affects all marginalized people. The industry needs diversity.
WiMN: Do you have advice for young women who might be considering a career as an audio engineer?
KK: My advice is the same for all. Follow your passion and do what you love to do. It may be a hard path to walk, but one that will be incredibly rewarding. SoundGirls is a wonderful and supportive community where you can ask questions, find resources and mentors and start on this amazing career path.
Just my prediction for dates after RRHOF stuff: Europe Summer '17 (12 dates), 2-3 summer festivals (Osheaga, Lolla, OSL), mid-November-December West Coast (12 dates). Basically two legs with a few festivals. About 25 dates total. The Europe dates would probably have to be announced pretty soon I would think (if they are playing in, say, mid-June to mid-July). Then back to the US/Can for Osheaga, Lolla and/or OSL through first part of August. Nothing then until after Cubs are done, so perhaps a mid-to-late November start for a West Coast run.
I believe the summer 2014 Europe dates were announced in mid-December 2013... anyone else remember?
