Officially no ACL in case anyone was holding out hope.

Yup looks like a done deal for the year. There is still time but I doubt they would tour without picking up a paycheck at one of the festivals.

Three years ago tomorrow began the last 2 night MSG stand. 

Who knew it would be the only 2 Pearl Jambi shows there in the twenty teens.

Talk about not milking that cash cow.

Wow, you're right.

I thought they did it in 2013, so I looked it up and that was when MSG was undergoing renovations, so they did Barclay's Center instead. In a way, you're right, but it's the same metro area and 99.9% of the same people would have been there.

Since 2013, they did Wrigley five times and Fenway four times.

My, how the times have changed.

Pretty bold first post, I don't think anyone bought it.

EV wasn't in the studio tonight.  It's all over. 


Cubs @ Seattle - 4/30/19

Bote be like "c'mon man, get in the fucking studio and make some new music. Then get the band on the road in November."

Atleast Ed is back in Seattle.  Maybe they are finally recording the new album?

My, how the times have changed.

Wrigley five concerts = 210,000 tickets sold

Fenway four concerts = 144,000 tickets sold

that is equal to approximately 20 arena shows.... and don't forget the 4 posters per show and merch madness that occurs at these stadium shows...

get used to the stadium shows in large markets

A good hypotheses but if true perhaps they should retire.

If they were to play 20k arena shows focused in the bigger cities and play multiple nights each stop...

And price it as a premium band that only occasionally tours...

They can maximize their revenue and minimize their cost. 

Seeing dots on a stage every tour for here on out is going to get minimally interesting fairly soon.

You, Sir, have solved the riddle.

They are recording a new album. Tour next year.
(Be positive...it's gonna happen).

No doubt. Definitely looking forward and will have a great time at some shows. If I’m betting though, I’m betting on the stadium show formula that seems to be working in the markets that allow for it.

Quick quiz: Name 3 of the top 5 fastest sellout events in Wrigley history?  Seattle was also a huge success, as was Boston.  I think even with a new album, depending on timing of release, stadiums are here to stay.  Allows let them to maximize reach while minimizing dates and the wear/tear on voice/bodies, and keeps the merch machine running.  I am not pro-stadium, but I am pro whatever keeps these guys playing together and brining us all to one place to celebrate their music and rock our asses off.

If there is a new record, I do not think that necessarily means stadium shows. They played arenas for both backspacer and lighting bolt. 

JimmyV

If stadium shows become the norm it may become a problem. Until then each of these ballpark shows has felt like an event, and each has been awesome in its own way.

Fenway at 36k capacity is not much larger than a large arena. To get in the extra 16K fans, stadiums are extremely expensive to stage for a concert and for 2 Fenway dates it required about 5 days of commitment. That hardly sounds cost effective. 

I'd further contend since those extra 16k fans in the upper deck or in the back behind a post are paying the same price as fans in the first 30 rows, we either are watching fans systematically getting ripped off or observing socialism flourish in rock touring.

I don't assume that stadiums will be the norm. It makes sense for non-album/tour years, but if they're doing a full arena tour, stadiums don't make as much sense. As someone said above, the stadiums were "events."
