Thinking through scenarios over the next few days...
Today: Sea Hear Now headliner announcement in 30 min. Announcement precedes tour announcement to sell fest tickets. If not... Tomorrow: 2 year anniversary of postponement announcement, we get all details on May shows and timeline of ticket sales. If not... Thursday: 10c newsletter delivers at least a hint at keeping membership active and dates come the following week
I personally don't think sea near now has anything to do with it. I'm thinking Ohana has everything to do with it. Ed will be there, so there's that. And the band has stated they want to come back. So, Ohana's announcement has to come at the same time as PJ's, which is typically any day now. SHN is irrelevant IMO.

agree.
This show, another show, a show here and a show there.

Ohana always hyped their announcements days in advance. Nothing from them yet makes me scratch my head even more why this is taking so long
I think Ohana has everything to do with it, too, but because waiting so long to reschedule plus Ed's poor LA ticket sales have caused a conundrum. I don't see them trying to market 3 SoCal arena shows at the same time Ohana is trying to sell PJ tickets.
I personally won't be traveling for Pearl Jam this year for multiple reasons. I don't have money tied up in shows from 2020, nor do I resent their delay in announcing (although I am scratching my head more & more with every week that passes without an announcement) but I'm simply making other plans because PJ hasn't given me any shows to plan around. Tool was off the charts phenomenal in November of '19, and they're touring now, so I'm travelling for a couple of their shows. Pearl Jam was good at Fenway in 2018, but nowhere close to as good as they were in 2016... maybe they had two off nights, but they seemed to have taken a step back. Long story short, traveling for Tool this spring and cutting back on potential PJ shows (if they even happen!!!) seemed like a no brainer for me. Had PJ announced dates sooner, my wife probably would have got on board with traveling for them, but that ship sailed once Tool announced their tour.
So while I don't actively plan on boycotting PJ, I'm not sitting around waiting for them, and will be seeing them less than in years past as a result.
Saw Tool at Barclays in 19 and UBS a few weeks ago. Phenomenal. They're just absolutely crushing their live shows and Maynard was actually pretty engaged. The old hits were a treat but their new songs are just made for live; they freaking nailed that. Have fun! Jealous.

As for PJ taking a step back tho, I want to see them as much as humanly, and economically feasible, as possible. They're not getting any younger so we gotta enjoy it while it lasts. I think the Earthlings show was great but just made it that much more obvious that full band is special. I still have tickets to two LA shows so this will come down to dates for me. If I can swing a long weekend I'll travel out there but I likely can't do two weekday shows. Easier in the Fall but still.

You realize they love to troll this board over there?
I agree. I didn't get that sense though with the thread and their comments. But whatever.

With a much larger percentage of the rescheduled shows being after the Europe tour, they will give us sufficient notice to make travel plans.
For the general public not using the forum/facebook groups, I think there are going to be even more annoyed ticket holders than they have now once they find this out.
