Yeah it's increasingly looking like the days of year-in, year-out extensive tours are done. I've made my peace with it, though. Might fly out for an Eddie show this year but what I really want is that new album. And I thought the wait for Lightning Bolt was tough...

Ya I would really love for them to be 100% transparent when they announce the Eddie tour and say whether there is more to come this year or not. Not going to happen though.
I've seen Ed three times now. Manchester in the Apollo in
2012, Dublin and Cork in 2017. The
Apollo and Cork gigs were very amazing and so enjoyable.
I did not enjoy Dublin as much. Even though our seats were
just off the main floor (second row), the venue (the old Point Depot) was too big
to really enjoy it with people talking constantly and in and out for drinks. It just wasn’t the same, so there is no way I
would go to a festival to watch a solo acoustic gig.
I totally agree. A drunk asshole ruined the Dublin show for me. Having said that im sure id still go if he was playing a big show in Ireland.

Saying they are too big is the reason they aren’t touring and are selective? I don’t buy that at all. They’ve played 4 US cities in 3 years and one album in a decade. I’m not sure they are as “huge” as some of us think they are. Yes they can sell out stadiums I’m Seattle, Boston, Chicago. And probably in Philly in NYC if they wanted. I’d say they are following the stones path on the downhill run of their career but the stones are recording and touring way more than PJ. I do agree that once PJ20 happened, I think that was the band peaking. Shows are still great and I’ll still go to shows and enjoy it for what it is. They’ve lost a desire to experient as a band and try new things. And that’s ok, it happens. Good for Eddie on selling out festivals and playing corporate gigs. Hooefully at some point in the future he’ll want to create music and play with the band that got him here. I mean even seeing Eddie solo is getting a little repetitive with no new album. But happy for those who get shows.
they are huge and can sell out any place they want and 2011 pj 20 was the go for it.,thats what im saying
You are right they can do what they want, maybe they will have thier own festival again with thier favorite bands ,thsnks Dimi

No there will be a handful of regular style shows too. Seems like different cities and venues then 2017 for some countries. I am guessing once all of the festivals are announced we get the info from 10 Club like 2017 in March.

PJ always puts out the whole EU tour including festivals, which is nice for fans. Eddie slices it up. Wonder why it differs.
Would choose a solo show over a festival. Can you hint on countries that will get a solo show? Would help me to decide in advance.

I am just going off of what Dimi has been saying here and on Facebook. Looks like a lot of the same countries that he did in 2017 with different cities/venues mixed in.
I think this translates into: "Hey Chris, go ahead and plan a proper vacation for your only scheduled vacation week that starts August 17th. Your vacation will not be taking you to any Pearl Jam gigs...loser!"

That's interesting I enjoyed Dublin more so then Cork. Maybe it was Seats vs GA.
just an observation,,i believe the year all change with this band and become HUGE after that was 2011..the dude,who had the idea of pj20 needs to gets his statue outside 10c-pj headquarters.. the band went big and all change,for music intusrty and how fans listen and pay attention to bands ..pj went out there and said,,hey..we out here 20 years now and we have huge history and future,.,all change after that,,all knew them after that, all want to see them playing ,all want to book them,,the way they tour .they sold out huge palces and venues,10c change,the stage gear,merch..ALL went huge.more organized,more pro0ffecional,.and same goes with eddie solo as well. .the band made specific choices where to play,with who other artist will go on stage,in festivals philly 12,ny 15 some exable,big ballparks in usa and crazy huge stadium like san siro,roma etc. sold out as well..im saying all this cos when dates and venues are out soon,,u will undestand how huge name is eddie vedder in music in our times and all want to see him,,well deserved to eddie and the band.. they worked really hard and now is up there with the top of the top worldwide
I like your theory but think it started in 2006/07 when PJ started playing festivals again. Lollapalooza, Bonaroo and whatever they played in Europe in 2006, 2007 and 2010 I think made a lot of casual fans aware that Pearl Jam still existed.
And I kind of disagree with the statement PJ sells out wherever they play. With the exception of Wrigley 2013 and the MSG shows, it’s pretty easy to get in the building, at least in North America. If tickets “sell out” right away there are usually hundreds that drop again on Ticketmaster within a week of the show and are available up until showtime.

I enjoyed traveling to see EV in 2017, but unless he plays Chicago, I won’t be seeing him this year. I guess I’ll continue to hope for a late 2019 PJ miracle album/ tour.

I traveled to see him in 2012 and seven years later he's basically playing the same show.
