    We had strong rumours in December on Fenway though and even before that from people that work at the venue.

    Exactly. It's not happening again this year. Next year...who knows. But this year Fenway already has Phish and The Who.

    Fenway 2 2016 
    Wrigley 2 2016
    Seattle 2 2018 

    Some of the best shows this band has put on in years. I went to all 3 and was miles away and still had a blast. That said bring back more arena shows and do 3 nights if you have to.

    Agree.  Was at all 5 Wrigleys and both Seattle, and they've been incredible shows (because of the band).  Of course I'd rather they do a full tour of arenas and sheds, but the ballpark performances have been epic.

    Man at this point in the game we’re playing with house money. Let’s just enjoy what they do or when they play. This band dosent owe anyone anything.

    They have given me some of some of the best days and times of my life. 

    Just enjoy the ride.

    Every ballpark show has felt like a special occasion. Playing Wrigley and Fenway, historic venues in favorite cities, isn't a problem. If they start playing ballparks in random cities then I will agree with calls for no more stadium shows.

    I will preface this by saying that I am not a smart man, but isn't some combination of Outside Lands, Kaaboo, Life is Beautiful and then Ohana Festival the obvious answer here? When was the last show in SoCal? 2014? Throw in a 2 night stand at The Forum (assuming the festivals don't have geography restrictions) and you are pretty much there.
    You may be able to add voodoo to that... 

    these have been the nola shows since 2010:

    2010: Jazzfest
    2013: Voodoo
    2016: Jazzfest
    2019: ???

    I’ll be okay with zero EV or PJ shows until new music is released by one or both. I love the shows and the live experience is second to none, but with no new music it does feel like full blown legacy act territory. Not trying to be negative. Just the reality. 
    Pearl Jam is not a legacy act. A legacy act is when you go see the one guy from hermans hermits at a casino or on a cruise.  New music would be nice, but I am perfectly fine with Pearl Jam performing songs from their current catalog. 
    I agree new music is not required at least for PJ as a whole.  Based on the stats app they played 149 unique songs last year averaging 28 songs per show.  That means they have enough material to play 5 shows without repeating a single song.  Obviously there are some repeats but the point is they have more than enough material.

    The last thing they should do is force new music if it isn't forthcoming to the standard they have produced in the past.  

    Re ballparks, certainly it is not ideal, but it's much better than nothing, and it does offer triple the odds of getting tickets compared to arenas, and is superior to festivals.  Seattle 2 was phenomenal last year.

    Anyway we need some news!
    PJ: 2013: London (ON); Buffalo; 2014: Cincinnati; 2016: Sunrise, Miami, Toronto 1-2, Wrigley 2; 2018: London (UK) 1, Milan, Padova, Sea 2, Wrigley 1-2, Fenway 1-2; 2021: SHN, Ohana, Ohana Encore 1-2; 2022: LA 1-2, Phx, Oak 1-2, Fresno, Copenhagen, Hyde Park 1-2; Quebec, Ottawa, Hamilton, Toronto; MSG, Camden, Nashville, Louisville, St. Louis, OKC; 2023: St. Paul 1-2, Chicago 1-2; Fort Worth 2; Austin 1-2; 2024:  Vancouver 1-2, LV 1-2, LA 1-2, Napa, Barcelona 1-2; Indy; Chicago 1-2; MSG 1-2; Philly 2; Boston 2; Ohana 1-2; 2025: FL 1-2, ATL 1-2, Nash 1-2, Pit 1-2.

    I will never go to a ballpark show.  
    Having only done the Home Shows (in terms of ballpark shows), if you don't have to travel far or its the only real option like last year, if you can get pit its totally worth it. If you're in the stands I'd say meh. I had stands the first night and with it being my first Pearl Jam show after many failed attempts it felt like a religious experience however being in the pit for night 2 made it clear I wouldn't do reserved seating for a ballpark ever again.

    My concern for future Aus shows, if and when we get some, is that they’ll again play one off stadium shows like 2009. Hey I’ll take anything, but part of me wants to be greedy and have 2-3 smaller shows per city. I’d love to see a non album tour but my guess is we won’t get one until a new album drops, Par for the course.

    I was at the first and best ballpark Show, Wrigley 2013....
    STOP WITH THE BALLPARK SHOWS
    PS I am all for a full tour if they only decide to play ballparks/stadiums. 20ish shows spread all over the USA in that sort of venue if that is what they decide I am cool with(much rather prefer traditional stadium/pavilion shows). For the love of gawd, stop with the only playing ballpark shows in less than 5 cities shit. Yawn.
