    Some real (but not unexpected at this late date) news: 

    Got it confirmed yesterday via the premium sales office at Fenway that Pearl Jam is definitely not playing there in 2023. Scratch those rumors off of any lists.
    All eyes on Mansfield then 👀...
    Barf... I'll take any show I can get right now, but I hate that venue w/ the heat of a thousand suns.

    The most up-to-date rumors:
    - Fenway is NOT happening this year, but Boston has been name checked. TD Garden, or Xfinity Theatre (home of the Mansfield Experiment)??
    - more than one source still says Chicago (no Wrigley), and all eyes are on Northerly Island
    - and if you go back far enough in the thread, more than one person has heard "September" (before & after February)
    - Ed at Ohana? Safe bet. Whole band? Fingers crossed for that Sunday🤞
    - RE: the usual ACL rumor, it was popping up on StubHub searches earlier in the year, but has since disappeared. No other info.
    - Pearl Jam in Mexico? There was a post on NYE on Twitter that seemed to tease it...
    - a board member heard from sources in the touring industry that the band was in talks for ampitheatres/sheds in Aug/Sept, but nothing concrete. I made a list of corresponding venues a few posts ago.
    - a new board member seems to be in the know (nice handle, FaceMeltor B) ) has teased:
    • "Chicago early September is in the works. Not Wrigley."
    • "When would you expect an announcement for a tour that overlaps both seasons?" (I take this as late summer/early fall)
    • "Would you like to hear about Boston in September too, or just Chicago?"
    • "No to Lolla and ACL as of right now."
    • "Its east to west, and Northerly too."
    Also, I'm giving up on the April/May rumor. Krist posted pics of 3rd Secret rehearsing (thanks Demetrios), so unless Matt is heading  straight to the PJ workspace next week, I don't think May is happening. Would love to be wrong. We'll find out on 03/21, as that seems to be the point of no return with past tour announcements for something a month & a half away.
    I'll be focusing on late summer/early fall on the speculation thread. Just figured I'd Cliff's Notes this stuff here beforehand ;)

    Chicago rumors yes, Northerly Island has been just assumption. PJ will not play that mediocre, half ass venue.

    Kind of happy there will be no Fenway shows this year but still wish Boston gets something.

    Same.  Would love a few shows in the spoiled northeast before heading west.

    I hate Great Woods (Mansfield) so much, but PJ is one of three bands that will get me there.  20th anniversary of the epic three nigth run wouldn't be too bad...

    Same here, and I add no PJ shows in the world this year. Just my 2 cents.

    Great Woods sucks for quite a few reasons but it's definitely a hit of nostalgia on the rare occasion I'm there these days

    Minneapolis is now rumoured in early September. Chicago and Noblesville should be next. Northerly definitely has a hold or had a hold.

    My Boston info was from awhile ago. It was either wrong or something changed when they went from two legs this year to one. No clue if it is getting a show now.

    Looking forward to September.  Northerly seems to be the venue of choice for many PJ sized bands this summer.  Makes sense with VedPunk saying outdoor sheds on the plans for late summer.

    Minneapolis is rumored? Rumored how? Because we want them to play there or you have a source?

    Thanks, Facemeltor. Good to know that 2 legs were in the plans at some point. Was fun gaming out April & May.

    Somerset? Just going off a google search but that appears to be in Wisconsin.

    Nothing I can find so far. PJNB might be closer with Somerset. My guess is the Target Center. It's operated by ASM Global, and the 2008 tour was a mix of arenas & outdoor venues.
