2020 Tour Rumor Thread

RS65573

Yup, same show. If I go to any of these, it will be just a reason to see that country. But id really like to hear Here Comes the Sun.

I wish he could play a "normal concert", not in a festival.
But I agree with you: better this way, than no concerts at all. There are people who are still waiting for their chance to see a show in their countries. Hang in there, folks!

Did I suddenly awake in 2017?

If only I was two years younger.

Are we supposed to be excited for Woodstock? I mean I will go if that is all they are doing this year but that festival has shit show written all over it.

The USA is small fry. Playing in Europe is where the money is. Especially the same festival 2 years ago ... The organizer must be stinky rich.

Why would anyone be excited about pearl jam playing Woodstock?

I am guessing that's a joke?

They can play an MSG residency for $3M+ a night and have no travel and the magic of 20000 PJ fans in an enclosed arena with no threat of bad weather.

If I were playing the lotto, I'd make sure I got Italy, Germany, Spain, Portugal, Ireland, UK, and The Netherlands on my ticket . . . oh and Poland on the Powerball!

Jeff wants to record more but in the past we've heard that he hates to tour. Is the opposite true with Ed? He wants to tour more but isn't interested in recording?

Does Jeff have kids? Tours are great family vacations (obviously.)

There’s clearly a disconnect somewhere with the band. What does it matter if they have kids? Touring can take 4-8 weeks of an entire year. And that’s a light schedule. And like you said, kids can go with them. The family excuse I am not buying at all. Until then I guess Eddie will play a bunch of covers and close with Hard Sun. 

This is a total guess, but we know Eddie's dad wasn't there for him. I'm just guessing that Eddie wants to be there for every moment of his kids' lives...and I really can't blame him for that.

So festival appearances only on this tour then?

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.
. 

I'd assume it is part of the promoter's contract with the artist. If he announces other dates at the same time, fans may not travel to this festival show instead hitting up something closer and probably cheaper. Similar to how most bands have a certain no compete radius around their festival gigs, where they can't play another one-off show nearby around the same time.

Based on @dimitrispearljam comments, I'm getting the feeling that even his solo/headline shows are going to be at bigger venues than theaters this time.

I'm not into festivals.  Play arenas again.

I totally get that, I was just pointing out that EV solo is handled differently than PJ. PJ could also announce big buck fests first.

speaking of bigger venues: That‘s why, if I played lottery, I’d put Wuhlheide in. 14.000 peeps, less if seated. He could do it. PJ played at Waldbühne in front of 22.000.

His kids were with him in Europe all summer. Seattle too. And recording in Seattle wouldn’t take time away from them. Again, that is very easy to overcome and his kids have amazing life experiences along the way while their dad is home 40 plus weeks of the year. Hell, Jill and the kids may wish he was gone more than he is, ha!

have a feeling no pj until 2020/2021... not saying earlier isn't possible, but knowing what we already know and now with ed spending his summer in europe i don't see anything happening, and they can drag out the 2020/2021 tour to coincide with their 30th anniversary as well as the new album, then take another long break... just my thoughts...
