12 weeks until the Tour starts and it’s still on as of today.... starting to wonder if I should try and get plane tickets to Prague at this point...

Id say only BST has a chance of happening and that's unlikely

Look like it's going to be illegal to leave the UK (less work study and family emergency) from 29 Mar until late June with a £5000 fine attached.  So regardless of any tour desicion, and we all have a good idea what that will be, that's Amsterdam and Berlin flushed down the shitter for me.

I've got tickets for all the European shows, I'm based in Canada and I'm certainly not booking anything. Planes/hotels/trains etc. We can't even go to Prague and/or many of the European destinations unless you are a citizen or resident of that country. I have a son in Germany who I haven't been able to visit since all this kicked in. It's unrealistic to think I'll be seeing PJ with god knows how many other people before I would even get to see my son. 

It's seems there is no way this tour can take place in 3 months time but I do wish it would have been communicated by now. I seriously do not think they are planning to tour, how can they; it's literally impossible. I assume the delay now is getting the rescheduled dates in place.

Agree. They should just postpone all the shows apart from BST, SHN and Ohana and say they will make a decision on those in the next few months.

You mean that going to see Pearl Jam doesnt count as leaving the country for a reasonable cause! No holidays abroad this Summer for anyone in the UK is what will happen in my opinion. Seems sensible if we want to properly get this thing under some kind of control. Rough on airlines, travel companies etc but in hindsight if those measures had been put in place last March things might have been significantly different. Allowing people to travel last Summer was a big mistake.

I don't think travel is going to the the biggest issue. Rising rates especially in Germany and central Europe will prevent any significant easing of control measures for months.

I am hoping case count stops mattering this summer or fall when the vaccine stops almost all hospitalizations and severe symptoms. Focusing on that is what we should be doing in the very near future.

i just received the following email from the hotel in Zurich:

Dear Mr. xxxx,

We are pleased to write to you regarding your reservation for 28.-30.06.21.

The concert, as you probably already know, has been postponed again....

and they ask me if I would like to postpone my booking at the same terms / price etc.

I've had emails from EasyJet today, my Copenhagen, Budapest, Prague and Krakow fights have all been cancelled.  Clearly flight cancellations are not connected to the tour butIi'm afraid the writing is on the wall.

Someone’s going to get fired!

That is pretty crazy that a hotel is reaching out like that is it not?  Pretty good customer service if you ask me especially trying to keep the patrons business. @radar ask them what the new date is!

pdalowsky

Pretty amazing that by the time we see the band again these new tracks will be like old friends 

Brisk.

Can you ask them what the new date is then?!!

You might have to be a detective, like “the date I have is June 28, 2022 - is that what you have switched me to?” and then they say “no, we have you for (real date)” and you say, oh, right, that’s what I meant...

Yeah do it! Simply ask for a confirmation email with the new dates of your booking! ;-)

Rammstein have just postponed their show in Poland a week before PJ are due to play:

"Due to the expected ongoing event bans and restrictions related to Covid 19 we are forced to postpone...… given the lack of planning reliability for holding events of this size it is unavoidable. The concerts are rescheduled to 2022".

Expecting an update from Pearl Jam any day now on the postponement.
