The Official 2023 Tour Rumor Thread

Mmmh. I would love a Detroit in there. This looks all a bit too speculatory to me, but I love that things are heating up.

Any chance they would play Splendour in the Grass in July in Australia?

For fun, just going to add Vancouver, Portland and Seattle since 10 years and 5 years are incredibly long gaps for the Pacific Northwest. And (travel hopeful) Australian dates in early 2024. All akin to the run we saw in late 2013 to early 2024. Fingers crossed…

Decided to screengrab each segment of that video (open image in new tab for larger). Where are we at with this list?

1. San Diego (Viejas Arena above truck)
2. 
3. Minneapolis (First St)
4. Alpine Valley...? 
5. Chicago (wide shot of United Center)
6. Chicago (Jordan statue)
7. Inglewood (Kia Forum)
8. 
9. Indianapolis/Noblesville (Indy cars)
10. Indianapolis/Noblesville (Ruoff Music Center)
11. Fresno (Larry A. Shehadey Tower) 
12. Dallas (Cowboys hat)
13. Dallas (Rodman/'98)
14. Redo of 2022 tour stop (Josh K's name in upper left, appears indoor so not Ohana '21)
15. Philly (skyline)
16. Vegas...?
17. 
18. Austin (ACL flag)


Agree that some of the footage can be filler... #8 and a few other cuts are just crates moving about.
- Seems like most of the 2-night dates have 2 clips, so it's possible that some of the unknown clips are Minnesota/Austin.
- #2 doesn't make sense for Vegas because they didn't plan to play Allegiant Stadium
- #4 would easily be Alpine if there were PJ20 shirts visible in the crowd, but can't see anything. More wishful thinking at this point.

Probably nothing, but one of the boxes says 520 - area code for Tucson.

Box #8 that is.

4 looks like alpine valley

What makes you think so? I've been pouring over that slide, and comparing it to photos from my previous Alpine shows. Yet, I can't see anything that definitively tells me it's Alpine. I've been wishing Alpine over Labor Day Weekend into existence for the last 2 months. Give me some hope.

Check out the hotel prices in that region that weekend.  Although, maybe that’s any summer weekend.  

I'm already covered, if that turns out to be the case.

Could #2 be Wuhlheide (berlin)?

So I'm thinking the United Center is pretty close to Alpine.  So I don't think 4 is Alpine.  There were rumors about Boston and then Mansfield. Is it the Xfinity center?  I wish zooming in can show me a couple or Red Sox hats or something, but I can't make them out.  It has a feel for the Xfinity Center though, no?

Two sources said Fenway, then Mansfield this year, then stuff changed. Tour start went from Boston, to Minn//St. Paul. Again, I'd go to New England in a heartbeat. Fingers crossed for next year!

I think it is safe to say a lot of these are just stage/touring shots. I do not think they are intended to be hints at upcoming shows. Rather they are there to get us hyped for the forthcoming tour announcement.


There are 5 maybe 6 (Philly looking at you) cities that are intentionally on there as hints of the tour.

Agree completely.

Another reason to keep the MMRBQ possibly going. In previous years they gave out tickets like crazy. Now you only get a pair if you win the Concert Cash contest. Harder to win because they will be in high demand. 

No chance.  Made in America is much more likely if they are doing a festival.  No way MMR could meet their price.  

Didn't someone say Made in America is all rap?

It has been recently but attendance wasn’t great last year if I recall.  Looking it up first day was only 35k with 2nd day at 50k.  That’s a big difference.  And at their highest pre pandemic peak they got into the 60k range each day.  I can see them wanting a bigger splash for both days.  Maybe Beyoncé comes back one night.   I guess we will find out soon enough

That’s an interesting thought. Maybe. Certainly was rumored. I’m not familiar enough with the venue to even assess but even so it was hard to tell.

looking like maybe

Minnesota 2 shows 
Chicago 2 shows
Indianapolis 1 show
Detroit? 1 show
Dallas 1 show
Austin 1 show
Philly 1 show
Boston? 2 shows
Vegas 1 show
Ohana 1 show

feels viable. Maybe Dallas or Austin gets two shows?

would be 12-14 shows or so total and a month worth of touring

I wouldn't expect anything more than what they did last Fall.

I’m sticking with Boston area being in play.  Looks like the former great woods to me.

and where is Europe? No EV Earthlings in Europe 2023 too

It is on the east side of the Atlantic.  West of Asia.

Just didn't want you to think this went unappreciated.

Pretty sure I see “The Rob” in the bottom left corner of photo 10.

Would that be 'big things" though?

Maybe, but the “April fools?” Might be to make you think there are only 5 or 6 cities.  The playlist is also to mislead you.  I think “big things” means more than a tiny tour.  Maybe I’m just an eternal optimist lol.
