2018 Tour Rumour Thread

Oh yes, forgot the Italian fests. Could be more festivals than their own shows in total.

i guess they will return to Austria for the Nova Rock Festival from 14th to 16th June 2018.

Damned..no Austrian show at all! Can't see them returning to the Stadthalle in Vienna cause Ed mentioned that it was the second worst location ever though the show and the crowd was spectacular

Also, I doubt they will both Pinkpop and Ziggo. Festival promotors don't want to pay huge amount of money for a band that will have their own big arena shows nearby. Either or.

Yes, could be true... maybe they'll play only Pinkpop in the Netherlands next year... or maybe instead of 2 shows in Amsterdam they made a deal to play only 1 show there next year and the 2nd show in the Netherlands is Pinkpop.

I think it will be AMS, not PinkPop.

Josh's stone cold lead pipe locks (that don't mean a damn thing)

1. Doesn't anyone remember Karrie Keyes saying she had a "Pearl Jam commitment at the end of year" like six months back or so in an interview? Most copies of that printed interview were edited to remove that bit. So I'm still holding out hope there is going to be some one-off of some kind at the very end of 17' or very early 18' that catches us off guard.

2. U.S. dates in spring (read April) of some kind.  Could be Hawaii as previously rumored, a few warm up shows, small leg out west maybe before heading to Europe, I don't know, but something.

3. Europe in June/July, this obviously already seems like a lock.

4. U.S. in fall, probably late Aug/early September.

5. AZ/NZ to wrap up 2018, or maybe very early 2019.

i would take less shows across the board - i know they dont tour a lot as it is- but even if it was less than the last few years if that means they are able to keep their output the same.  

every year i get older life gets harder, these guys are in their 50s giving us 3 hours of QUALITY and ENERGY, some times on back to back nights!- what we are used to is unsustainable. i mean if anyone can do it they can.  but we really have been spoiled.

now u said quality.and was thinking the quality-quantity thing.i kinda make up my mind what will do..ill put it this way..i can do a part of the tour..ant take off work  all days of tour 
if i start from the beggining ..ill do 10 shows tops
if i start from one country have in mind..ill do 6..tops.
u know what..i know its "important to have alot of show and more shows in your back..but ill do the 6 ones..plan 
cos is the same  reason i pick in 2016 to do florida shows..than northeast like philly or ny shows..
i want to see pj  in other new places,,like jacksonville they played first time(and how turn that for me right?most epic moment in my pj shows ever.) or see them in places they been alot of years ago,,like miami they played 2016 after 22 years!!
we getting older..and we need to get the best of life..and those guys give us the best on scene..and i love the feeling u get this best or some rare fuckin place,or venue,or town

I need some canadian or us dates soon!!!  

Yes we do. I get it, Europe is due. But I've yet to witness "Release" and I need another shot at it ASAP.

got it in St Paul 2014. I always had it in my head that the only one from Ten I hadn't heard was Oceans. Then they started in on Release, and my body started trembling. I had a "holy fuck I have never heard this live" moment. It was quite the feeling. Then getting Footsteps in the same show? MIND. BLOWN.

agree with the quality vs quantity argument, i almost think 6 is that "sweet spot" in a condensed period.  if i had the ability to keep going for more, id love it, but 6 is a nice number to satiate the urge.  if youre seeing them in cool, new spots, thats a huge bonus.  

after going 0-fer in '17 ill take ANYTHING...

I don't get how any of you fuckers can afford to follow this band for 6 shows+. I could barely afford 1 three years ago. LOL

to follow for 3 weeks tour the band  in different countries ,travel,hotel,food,drinks,concert tickets and all ,for me means for 6-8 months i dont go out of the house even for a coffee..or a meal out...means work home,home work..there is no other way and i leave dept to my cc that needs another 6 month saving after tour..

I know absolutely nothing, but wouldn't the dates of the South American tour and the rumours of a Hawaii show in April line them up for doing Coachella?

Yeah, I did 10 shows on the Binaural tour (from Ohio all the way back up to Mansfield).  But that was before kids and marriage.  And things didn't seem as expensive, haha.  Now, I'd be spending almost a grand on tickets alone.  

I'd be more than happy with 2 Fenway shows (or really, 2 shows anywhere in the Northeast).  Flying out to a new place for a show is great, but adding in flights and hotels (and scheduling time away while the kids are back in school) is difficult.

It depends. Generally early September but in some places it's by mid-August. 

Sooooo, how does that effect things??
