Were the Europe dates rescheduled at the same venues?

Presumably there are contracts in place, and shows will be re-booked in the same locations.  No?

Europe venues did not change - mind you with the numbers in Europe who knows what will happen with those shows.  

True - but the venue/city order was changed and some cases significantly.  Hope not the case with NA.

If they've announced they're starting the tour again in May - they're going to actually start the tour in May.  They'll take into consideration arenas who have hockey/basketball playing as well.  But the tour will go from March-forward, no doubt. And it will be the same arenas as originally scheduled as someone mentioned.. it would be a logistical nightmare to do it otherwise.

Just wait for the announcement all! Oh!  And a wrinkle.. I'd 100% expect that you're going to provide proof of COVID vaccine or a recent negative test to get in the door.

Agree wholeheartedly - it’ll work out eventually.  But people going to Toronto, NYC, or Denver should know that those cities may have 2 teams’ unpredictable playoff schedules competing for dates. It’s unlikely this will be a problem, but it has happened before. 

With the Knicks and the Leafs involved, though, late May should have plenty of openings. 

Knicks currently doing their level best to take care of us here. 

Yeah zero worry about MSG date being bumped for NBA playoffs

Ugh, 2016 was frustrating in Toronto - Pearl Jam got bumped one night, the Who got bumped one and then another. It was fine for me - I live ten minutes from the arena - but I can imagine it was a big frustration for out-of-towners. Anyway, it'll happen again this year when the Leafs go on a deep run.

After originally being shut out of Toronto 2, 2016, I got a sweet ticket upon the rescheduling.

Just keep Baltimore prior to NYC with a baseball game in between.

Frustrating now but when I’m rocking out to PJ at the Garden in May I’ll look back fondly on these dumb November losses.

The new expected dates (May) are likely not going to work due to schedule conflicts unfortunately.  There's still an outside chance, but the shows would have to be during the week as weekends are pretty much shot.  A couple pair for Nashville and STL will go back into the pool if so.  Bummer after a two year wait, but no one's fault and hopefully there will be more Fall shows added.

I have no inside information on rescheduled dates.  I was just speaking in general terms.  May is a tough month for me so unless the stars align on the new dates, I won't be able to attend.  Just a bummed fan venting on a message board.

Oh, I'm sorry, I completely read that the wrong way. Hopefully, the new dates work out for you.

Maybe they will play Beale Street Music Fest? That's the first weekend in May

Amsterdam moved to July 24 and 25th

So maybe the entire 2020 NA Tour is a go now.  PinkPop is the 18th and they dont need as much equipment for that, since the stage is already setup.  The stage now doesn't have to be anywhere until Berlin on the 21st

Do they use the same stage around the world? You'd think it'd be slightly easier to rent whatever they could (stage, wires) locally, as that'd mean less gear to transport over oceans.

Then again, I know nothing of how such is done. I do know that some fancier setups have a "leapfrog" system where stages get set up weeks in advance. I'm sure Pearl Jam doesn't do this.

I wouldn't think so, I don't believe they ever had elaborate/unique stage setups (say, like the Stones). I would guess that stage and PA are pretty much always local.

Oh yeah but where will they start first? East Coast or West Coast?

I assume they travel with their own PA, supplied by RAT-sound. Ligths, monitor gear and backline.

stages are most likely local. Just your basic arena or stadium stage structures.

Guessing the Euro shift has to do with family graduation ceremonies in mid June. Which means Climate Pledge in June becomes a possible scenario

I was a local stage hand for The Rolling Stones for the Voodoo Lounge Tour in Seattle, they apparently had three exact stage setups because it took about a week to assemble the stage, they had this huge snake that blew fire, it was insane.

If that’s the case, any.chance you’ll work with me on a heads up on when those tickets are sent back? I’m originally from St. Louis and are looking for both it and Nashville… I’ll grab ya a shirt or stickers or poster or whatever as a thank you!!!

Woah that is insane, would love to see it. But it's crazy when you think they can transition a basketball court to a hockey rink (with ice!) in what 6 hours?

Think it will be possible they add a double hitter show in Canada next May? Maybe Toronto or Quebec City?

Gotta be Toronto if at all. No way they do back to back in Quebec City. Adding a Montreal would make more sense imo. I am really curious where the Canada leg lands. Early May? Late May or early June? Next fall along with western Canadian dates sometime before or after Leg 2 in the US? Hope we get info very early in January.

If they didn’t have Hamilton scheduled, I’d say I’d expect a second Toronto show. Since they have it, not sure if they will, but I sure hope they do.

They probably moved it to May cause they know the Leafs won’t be playing meaningful games by then… 

I was waiting for someone to crack a leafs joke. However that won’t be the reason, the raptors won’t be making the playoffs this year unfortunately.

RatherStarved

If the move of Amsterdam to July means they are going to try to fit in NA in May/June, I really don’t think they’re going to add any shows.
