I'm just glad they are still a band. I was getting pretty worried that maybe they were just done. No news of any sorts for months/years on end. Most bands don't release new material prior to every tour. The play greatest hits and everybody loves it. Some fans here here want nothing but new stuff, rarities, obscure tracks & deep cuts. I will take this good news ( that they've announced gigs and run with it.. It's funny just last night I was thinking about starting a new thread called COME BACK. It was going to be a thread where fans could express their appreciation for this band, maybe make a plea or sign a petition for them to get back in the saddle, what the band has meant to them over the years, songs or albums that got us through good times and bad. Maybe at some point I'll try to start the Pearl Jam Appreciation Thread. They don't have to drop a new album and come up with a new stage design for me to enjoy. They can put whatever stage they want out there, doesn't matter to me what songs they decided to play, Greatest Hits, Rarities, Full albums or all of the above. I don't understand all the whining and telling them what they should do to make us happy and what we deserve. I don't know, do the die-hard Neil Young fans, Who fans, Fleetwood Mac fans, John Mellencamp fans, fill in the blank fans do this? Scream from the rooftops demanding a new album before the tour! Telling them what to do, where to play, what the bloody stage should look like, and what songs they should play every time a gig is announced? I may be naive but I don't think so. If you don't like the venue they're playing in, (for instance, I don't like ballparks I went to Wrigley once watched the entire show on the jumbo screen didn't like it) if you can't afford to travel far like I cannot, if you can't afford the tickets Don't go. Some of these bands are now $600+/ticket and fluctuat during the sale usually up if, (it's all about centeredness and sight lines, 2 rows over or a few a few rows back or forth can be a $200 difference) demand is high. I think PJ tickets are pretty much uniform throughout the venue right? Worst seat and the best seat are the same price I think. I certainly can't afford a $1,200/ 2 tickets, + Room & Board + spirits, + travel perhaps, holyshit no way, so I don't go to a lot of bands that I would love to see. If they play Europe only, or Japan or Australia or places that I cannot pronounce, I guess I won't be going. If they announce a 3 ciy ballpark stadium tour again I won't be going. I don't do ball parks anymore. I guess when the tour bus, and 5 semi truck loads say your name on it you can do whatever you want with your band. If they decide to play Arenas and amphitheaters again I'll be there. Throw us old dogs a damn bone, we'd love to see you!!! Cheers Pearl Jam!
Just looking over potential Fenway dates : Red Sox are on a long road trip from 8/20-8/30
Green Day is 8/27 and Billy Joel 8/28.
That leaves 8/21 thru 8/24 as my best guess window for PJ at Fenway in 2020. Maybe 8/21 and 8/23 or 8/22 and 8/24???
Definitely if August falls in the fall next year or during the election
Let's hope they realize the obstructed view dilapidated stadium shows allure has long waned.
If they are allocating around 14 shows for the entire continent and that includes a few festivals heres hoping Chicago and Boston already have received full allotment in 2018.
I'm disappointed in Europe getting tours in 2018 & 2020 with only stadium shows in the US in between. Was fortunate enough to make Rome in 2018 with the family (based our vacation around it) and Wrigley. So I'm spoiled more than most. Was in europe last year again for vacation as my wife had work over there for months anyhow. Was hoping to swing it this year to see a show or 2...but not going to be able ot make it work. My daughter (12) has been asking me since Rome to take her to another Pearl Jam show...maybe this fall? I sure hope so before she loses interest
Yes, you are spoiled and why are you slapping others in the face with it? Disappointed after you went to Rome and Wrigley? And an entitiled 12 year old who has ALREADY seen the band in Rome? Geez...you're whining about PJ not announcing shows YOU can go to? So much entitlement on the forum for sure...
Ummmm I was saying that I was spoiled and hoping to take my daughter to a show. I’m disappointed. Not sure how you got whining and please don’t call my daughter “entitled” as you don’t know her at all. I was sharing her love of Pearl Jam here and I want to keep it going.
Not sure where your negativity and your specific attacks on a 12 year old you don’t know are coming from.
P-J WILL PLAY USA BEFORE ELECTIONS..MORE DETAILS WHEN KNOW MORE .. CHEERS AND SEE SOME OF U IN EUROPE NEXT SUMMER.
That will be a hell of a tour. Drinks on me when they come to Montreal. Canada will be a great warm-up tour before hitting the States.

How about new album news?
Since they announced a European tour and didn't announce a new album leads me to "believe" that the new record could be announced in January possibly around a spring NA tour. The 2020 U.S election would be in full swing by April/May? I'm asking and not advising as I'm Canadian. I pay attention to American politics but never noticed the time line.
Of course not hearing any solid spring rumours doesn't help

Would love a new album tour but focus is all on US tour. I just want to see them live in the US. With the Euro dates confirmed and most being arena shows, hopefully that's good news for an arena tour in US, maybe with a few stadiums mixed in. Dimi was right on with the Europe rumors so I'm fine with waiting. January announcement wouldn't be a surprise but the 2013 Fall tour was announced and sold in July.

Just kind of not sure they turn around and do Wrigley when the Euro tour ends July 22 They usually like more time between your legs
For sure. I was just repeating the previous timeline. Wrigley was announced well in advance whereas that Fall tour was only couple months before. So who knows when.

Wrigley looks like 8/8 based on cubs schedule, not booking hotels yet. Expect an announcement in January. Hoping for a small US April/May run prior to Europe, then a few stadiums upon their return
Please play LA, we miss Pearl Jam !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

13 European shows? That’s like a warm up for most bands and they can’t announce any shows for North America yet? This band/management is a joke! Most bands announce the whole tour at once not this band it’s absurd ..
That would make too much sense to announce the WHOLE Tour now. It would nice if they did(if they are Touring NA). Might save some people from traveling to Europe if they know they're hitting up NA too.

Yeah , I know I’m nitpicking but still just announce all the dates already!

I agree with this. Some of us or mabey many of us have limited disposable income. My wife lets me attended two, & once in a blue moon a third if I really beg about one that I wasn't expecting concerts a year of my choice. It would be nice to know, the earlier the better, so I can budget and prioritize my concert choices. I can travel anywhere and everywhere for these things.
