yeah, but they are all pushing 60. 3 hour shows is a lot to ask energy wise. 

I'm assuming 2:20-2:30 and anything over that is bonus time. That was usually the deal with an opener. Short of that would be a new era.

I agree. I think around 2 and a half is the likely option. Although I also expect Josh to play a shorter opening set than some of the opening bands have in the past.

On another note… The Gaslight Anthem tweeted a cryptic post about an hour ago.  Hopefully it means a full tour this year. 😁

I could see them playing at Ohana, since he cancelled his solo set there last year.

Guided by Voices plays 3hr shows every night and Robert Pollard is 64. On NYE 2019 they played 100 songs over 4hrs. Eddie is in great shape. I'm sure he surfs for more than 3hrs at a time.

Getting pretty late to be announcing ballpark concerts. Guessing Chicago gets Lolla at end of July and then the band takes off the month of August. Could see some arenas getting added in October.

I think they're totally capable of it and it wouldn't surprise me if they play some 3 hour sets. I'm just talking expectations.

I could see longer sets in the big places, like Boston/Philly/NYC. But other markets I think will be a tad shorter. But who knows.

Agreed. I'm hoping for 28 or so. Just tough when probably 1/4 of that will be all Gigaton songs (which I am, nonetheless, excited to hear). Either way, 28 songs is far more than most bands play so gotta be happy with what we get.

Sorry I missed the discussion...where did the rumor for the ballparks come from?  Is it just a guess or hopeful group that PJ is adding ballparks to the tour?

someone from a facebook group claimed a credible source had named four or five locations with dates. I booked a Chicago hotel,refundable of course, just in case.

I’ve had a crazy day today and finally have been able to sit at the computer and plan this out. Man does September look way more fun than May. The order of dates for Leg 1 changes everything for me. Gotta be a 2nd MSG or Camden date thrown in there, it’s a 2 hour drive from New York with no traffic.

By the way, totally skipping Vegas. $1000 flight round trip from DC. Hotels are $500+ a night, gotta buy the concert ticket, and you need casino and food money. Why is it so damn expensive that weekend? It’s $1500 to get a day bed at the pool from 8am-4pm at Circa 😂

Current plan: SD, LA 1&2….MSG, Camden, Nashville, St Louis, Denver

EDC is that weekend - that's why.

Jesus Christ 🤣 why would PJ pick that weekend? 

Whatever, I’m excited! Hoping they add a few more new shows

trust me, I get it - I ended up with a 3 event pass to AEW at Mandalay/T-Mobile over Memorial Day Weekend. Wasn't expecting those prices. Was hoping that the show was when I was in town - now debating on extending my vacation or trying to catch another show on the tour.

If I wind up getting tickets for PJ I'm in the same boat, I'll be in town for AEW

Would they really do 3 NY shows in a row? 

I think the only option if they do two is do the 13th and go back to back with Camden but really I think we are only getting 1 MSG. 

Sure they could easily do it, and probably will. 

On the west coast they are doing 3 shows in 4 days.

They do not have back to backs in different cities at all this tour. They also do not have 3 shows in a row. Sure Camden is close so maybe.

Do you have a link from the Facebook post?  I'm interested since I have decided to try for the Camden show because I had my doubts about a Boston show this year.

fair enough. I just think at some point people are going to have to realize that these guys are probably going to slow down a bit. if it's not this tour, well then great for everyone going to the shows.

8/12, 14 Wrigley Field, Chicago, IL
8/17 Camden Yards, Baltimore, MD 
8/20 Fenway Park, Boston, MA
(maybe) 8/24 Washington-Grizzly Stadium, Missoula, MT
8/26, 28 Lumen Field, Seattle, WA

As others have stated, very high energy. And his last tour Pre-Covid he was often hitting 4 hours.

Vedd Hedd

Agreed on Springsteen....in fact...one of the more high energy shows out there, imo.

I think Bruce shows are as or more energetic than pj shows.  He is all over the place.

There are two day gaps before and after the MSG show.  I know the Apollo show will go in there somewhere but they've always played two shows at MSG and certainly wouldn't have a problem selling it out, plus there's nothing else on the MSG calendar around then. 

Will they add another MSG show later??

Lolla lineup coming Tuesday.  No whammies, no whammies, no whammies (please, no PJ).

Why wouldn't they play climate pledge in Seattle?

I only shared that because if they can do 3 shows in 4 days, they can easily add an MSG show in those large gaps in September.

The will almost definitely take August and October off.  I think at this point they are one month on, one month off for a touring schedule.  I don't see them doing any outdoor shows in the US (unless maybe they squeeze in Lollapalooza?). 

Possibly a winter tour of some of the cities they didn't hit the first go round after they take October off??

I would definitely do a concert at one of my favorite ball parks (Camden yards).  Very very good info, fingers crossed it comes true.

I don't think so just because Europe ends on July 25 (Mon) and Lolla is the following weekend, but who knows.
