Why do people think they'll do Sea Hear Now 2 years in a row?

I think it's next week folks, 10club will remind us on Thursday to stay tuned/membership reminder etc.

Not hopeful for today.

Any radio stations promoting a concert announcement today ? 👀

Nashville apparently has announcements yesterday, today and tomorrow. 

Per source this will not be a PJ announcement. 

I don't think radio stations will hype a rescheduled PJ show as a 'concert announcement'. There really isn't any reason for them promote these events any further as its most likely 95% sold out already, Sure, radio stations will talk about the rescheduled shows because it is a prominent band playing a larger local venue, but I don't think they'll get the 'big morning concert announcement' treatment.

I dont think Dimitris would ever intend to give us wrong info.  Still holding out hope for later today.  Trust Dimi.

Serious question: What info does Dimi give us?

I know of him but am close-to-never on FB pages. I vaguely remember him on these threads. I recall him being ominous about things to come, but I honestly don't remember much other than hinting at things that were already semi-well known. I'm really not trying to be disrespectful - just curious what he's leaked for us before.

I know he gave us all the clues for the 2020 Euro tour stops several days before those were announced.  That was a fun thread, before Covid and WW3, ah the good old days…

That's awesome. As a casual visitor/poster on these boards, I honestly never realized how much concrete stuff he provided. 

That's also insanely impressive!

Has anyone been following any Vegas radio stations?  Rumors have been strong for Vegas the last couple weeks.

Did Ed's side band delay Ed's band announcement, only to in turn delay Ed's festival announcement?

I held off yesterday on booking a family trip the first week of August thinking we'd get the dates yesterday. I'm going to book it today, but will hold off until the afternoon.....but I can guarantee if they don't announce today, once they do, the MSG show will be that first week of August. I have some type of magical power that when I do one thing, 4 other new things get scheduled for that same period shortly thereafter.

A week ago, this seemed ridiculous. Today, it seems entirely too plausible.

Meanwhile, Australia has only opened up for a few weeks and Foo Fighters were already there.

That would be right after they get back from Europe. Just a gut feeling that they don't play within 2 weeks of the European tour.

Has Ohana hinted at anything yet for announcement timeline? 

Habit4me

Quite pathetic what they are doing to their fans right now. You KNOW they have at least 95% of shows officially booked - and that's probably been the case for weeks/months. 

Just fucking announce the shows already. People work. Traveling is expensive these days. It's only going to get worse.

Agreed. If there are May dates that run right up to Europe then I would expect August to be clear.

Yeah, flights in general, but for April and May especially, took a massive increase over the last week

Ohana hasn't even announced the dates for 2022 yet, let alone the lineup.  If that's what we are waiting on, then we have quite a ways to go.

Pearl Jam has to announce and sell their many California shows before announcing Ohana, if they are indeed playing there again. The California schedule and timeline is a mess.

I see it the other way around. The arena shows will sell out. They are already at least half sold out right now. Ohana if they are playing there will take the hit with the attendance being announced after the arena shows.

Weston1283

I also just don't see how there is anyway that there can be less than an 8 week heads up for a show, that is my personal cut-off.  

So 8 weeks from today is May 3rd, so I am assuming that May 4th is the earliest this thing can start.  And so on.

I agree, but I don't think Ed is going to be too keen on tanking attendance at his own festival. Particularly since he just played a makeup date with the Earthlings in LA where ticket sales died. The whole thing seems like a mess to me but I'm of course unsure what they are thinking and planning.

Star Wars Day! Band in full Star Wars cosplay, playing nothing but rock versions of Star Wars songs! I'm down!

They probably won't play LA for awhile after 2022 is over.

Welcome to The Amazing Tour Race. Here are the dates. You have 40 days to reschedule your itinerary. First 10c member to cross the GA line with as many shows under their belt wins a year’s membership dues (no shows next year). Thanks for playing and good luck!

The ironic (and a little pathetic at this point) thing is that this announcement we are waiting for is just rescheduled dates for cities we already know about plus a few more.  It is like they enjoy watching us all battle over scraps.

These posts are hilarious. Nobody forces us to travel to see shows, nobody forces us to re-arrange adult responsibilities to see a concert and  nobody forced anyone to hold on to tickets that could've been refunded.  Its a band. A band we love,  but just a band.  Our true relationship with them is transactional.  They do the shows they want and we go to them or we don't.  They aren't our friends. They aren't our employees. Our music/ticket/merch purchases don't make us shareholders in their operation. Any suggestions to the contrary is simple delusion.

The band doesn't make a dime without their fans.
