If this happens we will be thrilled because Pearl Jam will only play if it is 100% safe to do so, we know they make the right decisions, we know they have safety at the forefront of everything and we know they don't take risks. So if by some miracle it goes ahead, the world will be back to normal. 

If it doesnt, as we all expect, we will have new dates to look forward to and be excited about. Maybe even a winter tour......I dont recall the last time they played out here in the winter....it would make queuing at the early entry that little more interesting.....

This guy gets it. People can be pessimistic or realistic as they want but the fact is if Pearl Jam is playing this summer we are in a much better place than we are today and I for one am hopeful we can get there. We can all read the forecasts and predictions of this lasting 12-18 months from now but I am for one hopeful that we can kick this in the ass in the next two months. 

That's basically what I was trying to say yesterday.

The IOC has said the Tokyo games (keep as is, postpone, cancel) will be decided in the next 4 weeks.  I know that’s a much bigger, more complicated event than a PJ tour, but it’s also a month later than the tour.  I would be shocked if PJ doesn’t make a decision by April 15.

It’s being reported tonight that Canada is not sending athletes to the Olympics if they are not postponed.  Same for Australia.

Olympics postponed.  New dates TBC.

Henry street Dublin yesterday.  Pearl jam not making a tour is the least of our worries lads.

For sure there are bigger issues.  No question.

We’re just speculating on the impact on the tour because that’s what this chat topic is.

If there is a “what’s the fastest way to a drug or vaccine” topic I’d love to know where that is.  That’s the important chat.

I've taken it for granted that Frankfurt London and vienna are off for me. Please god they will come back in 2021. All going well

The Olympics are a much bigger deal - with people and athletes coming from over the globe. Virus would need to completely gone or it could be spread again world wide. We could be all clear in Europe, NA and Asia - but not Africa and SA and that would still be a problem

There are conflicting reports on whether the Olympics have been postponed or are soon to be postponed.  Either way it doesn’t look good.

The tour is not gonna happen. Having to deal with different policies of over 10 different countries will be too much of a hassle to pull off on such short notice.

I think it will soon. The athletes have spoke. They are locked at home unable to train right now. Even if (big if) it was viable to have in Japan this summer the athletes would not be at the level they need to be to compete.

I habe been very positive about the tour happening for quite some time (June is a few month away) but sitting here semi quarantined in Austria watching what happening just 300km away in Italy I think Summer Tours will definitely be cancelled... We can just hope that we don't get hit as hard as Italy here but the case numbers are growing... The most reliable news I saw that shuts down touring was, that the Czech Republic will close their borders for at least the next 6 month from now on. (Source: Main Austrian News Agency - sorry only in German... https://orf.at/stories/3158919/)

Yep, it's possible that borders will remain closed for the rest of the year. Germany also saying that some measures will last into the next year. Maybe there will be some exceptions within the Schengen zone but probably not for US citizens.

Hope the Europe tour happens next Summer. I think a lot of people would struggle financially to get to these gigs if they were postponed till later in the year.

Everything is already payed for with me aside for food of course. We went non refundable on a lot of our travels to save some money. Great idea looking back at it. If they are cancelled my wife and I get a credit of $1400 each to use before Dec 1st 2020 for another flight with Air Canada. That is if they even deem it ok to give credits for the summer when the there is a chance the travel bans maybe lifted. We were credited for our spring tour flights too from Air Canada. When it is all said and done we will have over $2000 each to spend on flights before the end of the year. Mine is closer to $3000. 

On top of that we will have to try and get a SwissAir flight and Lot Air flight refunded which is likely to never happen so that money is likely to be gone and I bet they get huge bailouts from the government on top of our money they will have. Not sure I can afford to not go at this point and this is coming from someone that had to close their business down over a week ago. Wish you the best on your finances this is going to be a rough one for a lot of us. It sure would be nice if and when these dates get moved we could just carry over our travel plans.

Zac Brown Band has cancelled not postponed their remaining 2020 dates.  Even if PJ Europe 2020 becomes PJ Europe 2021 that would be much better than outright cancellation.  In fact having this tour to look forward to would be an excellent thing to have.

I think that's the best we can hope for everything put back 12 months same venues etc wherever possible

Absolutely! And they did say the tickets will be honored so that’s good, even if the new shows are a year later

Claptons May/June Euro tour pushed to Spring 2021.

They said if they were to postpone the tickets would still be valid.  They did not say they would necessarily postpone as opposed to cancel.  I hope that part was implied.

putting it back a year is arguably a cancellation of sorts. On a new album release we could possibly have expected another short run in Europe next summer around the festivals again.....
