It really makes no sense to me to not do all the rescheduled dates at once in April and May. Cases have sharply dropped, and mandates are getting lifted. Who knows where the fuck we will be in the Fall

Here is my two cents.  The 2020 spring tour was thrown together last minute.  Playing 16 shows in 32 days and travelling from Canada, to the Eastern United States , all the way to California made no sense. 

     Spring will be one half of the NA and the fall will be the other.  Both tours will add some extra cities to hit the 30 show mark.

I appreciate your two cents.

I wouldn’t be surprised if they end up just skipping spring, go to Europe, and all the rescheduled dates are in the fall.

^ I hope not. This spring we know the spread risk has peaked. Who know about this fall!

? What would be the reason?  COVID shouldn’t be a factor anymore unless you’re just scared to leave your house.

Agreed! Maybe it’s just my pessimism too. It just seems strange (and maybe difficult) to me to try and cram some dates at predetermined venues and cities in quickly before Europe but maybe they’ll surprise me.

Speaking of getting hopes up, here's my prediction fit three dates based on nothing but my own pessimism:

Toronto May 4th
Nashville May 21st
St Louis May 23rd (these last two might swap) 

These are the 3 shows we have tickets to. My wife is getting her Masters. Last class is May 4th, graduation is May 22nd. So, I'm calling it right now that we won't be able to make it to any of them. 

Nope

Could still be on the 23rd, with St Louis on the 21st. I hope I'm wrong, I'm just gearing up for this to avoid crushing disappointment. 

It won’t be.  The reason:  21-23 Nash/SL in any order would be perfect for me and there’s no way I’m getting that lucky.

I'm hoping for one day on one day off like the original dates were. If you start on May 1st the seventh show would be Nashville or St.Louis on May 13th. The Enterprise Center is open on the 13th but Bridgestone is not. If they play St. Louis on the 13th it's still a weekend show and then on to Nashville on the 15th. I haven't applied this to the rest of the dates as far as what venues have which days open.

Not sure how legit it is, but someone on Facebook posted that they got an email from some ticket marketplace saying that Nashville was canceled.... anyone else get this?

My Nashville tickets still say postponed.  Interesting though - the EV tour (at least in NJ) required proof of Vax - negative test wasn’t sufficient.  If there is a law in TN that doesn’t allow proof of vax to be required (not sure the status of that) I could envision the band cancelling.  Which would be devastating as I have been looking forward to Nashville more than any other show.  Hopefully it’s just a ticket market error.

I noticed that in the TM ap, my St Louis tickets say Health check required. My Nashville tickets do not.

Weston1283

Interesting.... in the link below, it says that businesses in Tennessee cannot require proof of vaccination for concerts or other large events.

It can only be used as an alternative to a negative test.  I am not sure if the band would be on board for that.

I only got Nashville so I'm gonna be fucking pissed if they held my money for two years and don't play the show.   This isn't a case like Baltimore where the arena is literally not available.  If they cancel the show because of the vax rules I want my money with fucking 2.5 years of interest tacked on. fuck that shit.

Billie Eilish at Bridgestone is requiring proof of vaccination or negative test within 48 hours of show.  There is NO REASON to not play a show due to this requirement.   Not perfect but play the show using this.

I don’t think Nashville requiring/not requiring the vaccine will be a thing come May/June. 

There’s rumblings that even here in Ontario most vaccine related mandates will be gone by April, and we’ve had some of the harshest regulations.  By that point it will be up to the individual businesses and I can’t see many keeping them if they’re not forced to. 

I think as a band Pearl Jam may keep the requirement.

Remember, when it comes to touring this band does what is best for the band.  Not the fans. It isn’t a business where the customer is always right.   Now if they come back to Raleigh I may change my tune a little.

Or, this is just a rumor... Actually, not even a rumor, it's speculation on a rumor. Maybe we shouldn't fly off the handle just yet?

You’re not wrong, but this thread is the home of rumors and all related ridiculous-ness lol.  Let’s the rumors fly until we get some news from the Band
