If they are going to announce the rumored Fall dates at the same time as the rescheduled shows in January, getting some rumors about those cities would be fun right about now. Columbus?  Indy?  Grand Rapids?  Milwaukee?  I wonder if any or all make the cut.

I would love that, or Louisville.

Spring or fall for the Canadian leg: doesn’t matter, we’ll be ready. We’ll all have a fifth dose of vaccine by then and proof of vaccination will be a 10-page booklet.

Maybe Canada is in the fall with a coast to coast tour after leg 2 happens?

I hope so!! Not sure I can make it the LA shows now. At least some west coast Canada shows would be nice.

LOL.  Probably not far off.

add Stone's I Need Something Different to the set. Fucking open with that banger. I don't care if it's Ed or Stone on vocals. I dig that song.

Yes, Louisville is long overdue!

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?

I think someone once indicated that there is a problem with the Louisville venue from a business or administrative perspective.  I can’t recall what it was.  But there’s always Cincinnati, Lexington, Indianapolis etc.

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

Did anyone else not get the Ticketmaster update email that some have posted? I can see my ticket still so I am not worried, but I am curious

I didn’t for okc. 

I didn’t for Nashville either

I did for Nashville. Don't know if it makes a difference, but i've got TM tix, not 10C.

Not to sound like “that guy” as I do truly believe this band puts Art before Commerce (ABC as Ed says). Lowest ticket prices for a large scale band, true dedication to its fan base, amongst other things. 

But it’s probably no coincidence that the only shows they played were festivals owned or partly owned by one of its members and one of their friends/contractors. 

Again, not to be that guy. And I can’t wait to get on the plane to Toronto.  But there is a business to this whole thing. 

I think a lot of members on this site would argue with the band being an art before commerce band. Just look at the merch situation 

I would 100% argue this band has not put Art before Commerce, probably for a lot longer than most of us are willing to admit.

To their credit, they grew this thing from the ground up into a huge operation and community.

And to their sometimes discredit, they too often try to run this operation and communicate with their fan community like a Mom and Pop shop.

I enjoy their live shows and get excited when there's new music, but they aren't still the Little Seattle Band Who Could.

with the machine as big as it is, the commerce is an essential component of the art now. it just plain doesn't exist without it. this is the reality for all bands post-napster.

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.

You guys are in for a real treat because now you  can add:

Will I test negative for covid and be allowed to travel internationally??!!?? to the excitement!

So with the EV album releasing early Feb, is it too early to place bets on a spring solo/Earthlings tour?
