Maybe they'll do what the Foo Fighters do.  Mix it up.  Stadium shows for big markets and arenas for smaller ones.

If they broke their current format and announced multiple countries at once AND more than 5-10 USA cities, then maybe they could do two nights at the United Center.

More tickets on sale for more countries would lead to a lower demand for any one country's tickets.

Example...if they announced something like this all at once in February. "Here are the dates for the entire year. Tickets go on sale throughout the year. Stay tuned for more info.

March 18 -- Southern Brazil
March 20 -- Southern Brazil
March 25 -- Argentina
March 29 -- Colombia
April 2 -- Northern Brazil
April 3 -- Northern Brazil
April 10 -- Mexico City
April 10 -- Mexico City
June 29 -- England
June 30 -- England
July 5 -- France
July 7 -- Spain
July 12 -- Italy
July 14 -- Italy
July 18 -- Germany
September 2 -- Chicago

September 3 -- Chicago
September 15 -- Cleveland
September 17 -- Buffalo
September 22 -- NYC
September 23 -- NYC
November 5 -- LA
November 6 -- LA
November 14 -- Seattle
November 15 -- Seattle

Because they'd be doing two in NYC, LA and Seattle, people who just toured all over Europe may not feel the need to go...or they give their credit cards a rest.

Starting to think we get album (or at least announcement) sooner than later. Maybe by end of this year.

If anything is planned for early 2019 (Australia or SA), it would probably have to be announced pretty soon. Someone mentioned them playing SA in 2019, so I'm thinking they announce some April shows for 2019 (similar to what Radiohead did in 2018). 5-6 shows.

Summer tours in Europe are usually announced the preceding December. I think Dimi mentioned a new album always means a tour in Europe the following summer. June-July. 12-14 shows.

Late summer/fall NA shows could be announced around May (like in '14). West coast is due, but I'm sure major markets will get a show or two (maybe a festival appearance or two in lieu of stadiums). August-Sept. 8-10 shows.

Shows on three continents. Somewhere around 25-30 shows total.

Australia gets shows in early 2020.

agree, Australia soon my guess

Having been to Australia 4 times since 2010, and each time for either U2 or Bruce tours, I'd say 2020 would be fine.

He said he has no info on Europe 2019 on Facebook. 

I personally would highly doubt they do Europe 2 years in a row but who knows.

No PJ Euro Tour 2019. Maybe 2020, only time will tell.

Before things are "booked", they can be "planned", "proposed", "pending permits", or whatever...

Pj Played in Europe 2006/2007, 2009/2010 so 2018/2019 is possible too.

Lol. 

Now we know it will never happen.

Assuming we get a new album soon, hopefully a full US tour will follow.  Preferably in the summer so this teacher can make a lot of shows

This is the time of the year when rumours start to appear, so I'm hoping for a new album soon and I wouldn't mind the boys coming to Europe next Summer since the Nordic countries got totally neglected last summer. Finland's been overlooked for 25 years now so COME ON...MAKE IT HAPPEN!

Arena or bust for me

I'm done with stadium shows for about a decade

I always try to go to the shows in the Vancouver/Seattle area.  I'd have a hard time skipping one, even it was a stadium.

I'm with you though.  We went to see the Foo Fighters in Vancouver a month after the Stadium shows in Seattle.   There weren't really any lineups, we didn't have to get there to early.   No problems (or much for lineups) to buy a poster/tshirt.   We even found a nice place to hangout and have a beer while we waited for them to start playing.   There was barely any waiting, barely any lineups, and everything was so effortless.   The stadium shows (Especially if you have GA) involve a lot of waiting.  Even for people like me who only lineup a few hours before doors to get 10-15 rows deep.

When you're in the pit at a Stadium show.   It's pretty epic.  Once you've endured all the waiting it's pretty magic.   All that energy and you're at the front of it.  The band feeds off it and it's pretty amazing.    I can't believe I'd say it, but Arena show's now feel alot more intimate.

I'm not sure PJ can play smaller venues in these bigger cities now.  Could you imagine them playing 2 shows at united centre in Chicago when they've consistently sold out two stadium shows.   The demand for tickets would be overwhelming.

Maybe they'll do what the Foo Fighters do.  Mix it up.  Stadium shows for big markets and arenas for smaller ones.

I went to the Wrigleys and that is all the Stadium show experience I need.  

If there is one within a 3 hour drive, I will consider it.  Otherwise, I'm not up for travelling for the whole thing.  Flights, hotels, waiting, obsessing about weather, etc.  I had reserved seats and felt like I was a mile away.  I had pit the other night and felt like I was in a battle the whole time.  The merch thing no longer calls to me.  Sound isnt great.  Venue not designed for that many people, Hard curfew, etc.

Hoping for arena shows too, stadium shows and weather are a bummer.
They haven't played Iowa in forever.
They could come back to Moline, I can just drive 5 minutes to the venue.
I think Alpine Valley is doing shows again.
2 nights in Chicago at the UC or something would be cool but as mentioned above, getting tickets will be horrendous after 2 sold out Wrigley shows this year. BUT I'd assume they'll do more shows than just 7 in the US so people may not go ape shit to be at the Chicago dates if they have more to choose from.

Or they can take a pay cut and play my backyard, it would be a nice semi-intimate crowd and I could bring my dog.
