 That M in Pearl Jam is the Seattle Mariners first logo. Thinking there is some Mariners merch similar to Cubs and Sox after Fenway and Wrigley shows.

More fuel to the stadium tour rumours.. .

u got a point there!!

Also, I would be willing to bet that Royal Blood opens the Europe tour for PJ, especially the London Shows

Really? Would be good

If you wanted to make the most of this tour in a short amount of time, what would be the most simple logistically? Never been before. Was thinking the three Italy shows? Fly in, take trains to all shows, fly back to usa?

Time wise the back to back in London would make the most amount of sense or the Amsterdam back to back which will more then likely happen. Italy shows have two huge stadiums and a festival. Nothing wrong with that imo but might not be to your liking. The Prague - Krakow - Berlin combo is the one I am doing. Flying in and out for a total of 7 days. 

When you arrive in Prague??

7:00am day of the show. Wish I could make the pre-party the night before but adding one more day would probably cause a divorce lol. I am have not booked anything yet and probably won't for a couple more weeks when I am 100% I am going. 

I’m flying from Toronto and likely doing the same three city stretch. Pretty sure the flight I’m looking at gets in at same time.

Cool! Did you book already? If so how much from Toronto? Also going solo or are you traveling with someone else? 

Won’t book until after the draw and it’s up in the air as to whether I’ll be solo or not. I put it out there to a few friends but they aren’t as committed. I was going to burn some aeroplan points...between 30-37000 points from Toronto to Prague. Will probably do the same on way back from Berlin.
   

Ya Aeroplan is terrible to go across the pond with. I can do California for 25000 points but need 67500 - 75000 to get to Europe plus 660$ in taxes. Crazy. If you do book through Aeroplan do not use multicity as an option. Book 2 one way tickets it will save you 7500 points.

I don't have a degree in band management, but why wouldn't they play Vancouver, Seattle, and Portland at the beginning or end of every tour and sleep at home each night?

The same reason we can't figure out why they only played 1 show in Seattle last time when they could of stayed in their own beds?

In this case if it as an arena tour I could totally see them doing Vancouver/Portland with it.  They usually play a few dates around the northwest us and western canada when they play seattle.  However the Fenway/Wrigley show last year were kind of standalones and seperate from the regular tour.  Thus it's possible if they play Safeco, it might be more like the stadium shows from last year, then a regular tour.

What the 411 on Milan?. Has anybody been to the venue or the I Days festival?

Hey Dimi, is the New Zealand / Australia thing really happening in early 2019? I’m all over that trip if they tour down there. Thanks. 

Stop acting like this dude is some sort of insider with info.... It is laughable.

Agreed. Dimi is a lovely man. But a normal man and pressure for him to know some  mystical knowledge is ridiculous

You can call it whatever u want, but he absolutely has some insider info.  He knew about SA and Europe tour with dates and cities long before it was made public. And he’s done that for many past tours as well.  Nobody is saying he knows everything, but I for one really appreciate whenever he gives us some info because it helps my family plan and its just fun to hear where they are playing a head of time.

Newsletter is giving good vibes with the "PJ Tour 2018", looking forward to a sun soaked summer and few shows in Europe! Hopefully a few festival dates. Should do Hyde Park again, there's a thought! 

I really hope they don’t play Hyde Park again lol 
Too big, and pants sound. Last time I was lucky enough to be with a group of great people, we effectively made our own atmosphere.
Besides they didn’t sell out MK. 
A couple of nights at the O2 would be grand.
Throw in a smaller show either like Leeds or SBE (10C gig at the Eden Sessions = dream) and that would be even sweeter, but the O2 would do. 

I know what you mean but up front the atmosphere is great, stood well back for Tom Petty this year and the sound wasn't all there still enjoyed it. PJ Leeds sold out though! Even the two Manchester's in 2012 I think? O2 would be great, I would take it after four years. Too right!! I've never been to Eden for a show but that would be epic. Shepherd's Bush as well. 

Hyde Park is a terrible venue. Never again please.

First Direct Arena in Leeds is superb. Would be happy to go there again one day.

Shepherds Bush Empire was a good night too.

I’m not really following. He has repeatedly posted stuff that ended up coming true down the line. Case and point with Europ and SA. Nobody is saying he’s in with the band or anything, but he definitely tends to hear stuff early. There are probably hundreds if not thousands that have some sort of connection with the band through employees and friends and family of those employees. Things tend to leak. I personally have a friend that has close ties to one of the band members that occasionally leaks stuff to me. Not unthinkable to think people hear stuff early. Either that or Dimi is very good at guessing:) either way, much appreciated by me.  

Weston1283

If anything, I think leaking a certain amount of info definitely helps build hype up for upcoming shows, which helps the band out
