The Official 2023 Tour Rumor Thread

Lost In Ohio

So...If things start shaking in late February, when do we get the "make sure your info is current" tease?

January newsletter or February?

Hell, I bet we get it in January so that people start posting "tour announcement?" for the February newsletter...and then the usual disappointment when February's newsletter doesn't have tour dates.

Jazz Fest in New Orleans announces in 3rd week of January. Would be great for them to make a big easy return.

Didn't they do Jazz Fest in 2010?

I wonder if:
Tease Jazz Fest in January newsletter.
Jazz Fest on-sale date.
Tease "more to come" in February newsletter.
Spring tour on-sale in Feb/March.

That would definitely allow the Jazz Fest people time to sell tickets, which I'm sure they wouldn't mind.

If they do some festivals Something in the Water in VA Beach could be a possibility. Pharrell has brought it back this year and it usually has one rock headliner. I know the Foo fighters were scheduled but it was cancelled for covid

Coachella?

Well, they have overlooked the California market recently.

It's a dang shame really when you think about it.

California definitely needs more shows.

What anniversary are we up to? PJ31? No matter. Four Nights In Fresno is the only way to mark the occasion.

I don't know if anyone saw the DMB Gorge shows from September, but they incorporated drones into their outdoor shows.  How cool would it be if PJ has an outdoor show with drones forming the Stick Man logo?  Go to the 5 minute mark and you'll see drones forming Leroi Moore and then the Firedancer symbol.

That’s pretty cool.

California needs more PJ shows like Elon Musk needs money

I have a hunch that a Hawaii/Australia/NZ tour will happen. Doubtful in 2023. Maybe early 2024? Maybe I’m just hopeful lol

The PJ20 Destination Weekend was, IIRC, 2011, being approximately 10 years after the release of Ten.

The 20th anniversary of the first show was the 2010 show at Bridge School.

2010+10=2020

This last October was the 32nd anniversary of the first show.

Next year is the 32nd anniversary of Ten.

Wish they would come back and play Red Rocks. Or the Gorge would be cool to revisit too.

2010 and 2016. Jazz Fest always has big Rock band. If not PJ, not sure who with Foo in limbo.

I’ve seen 3 shows at Red Rocks in the past 4 months. It’s a bit overrated to be honest, but the size for a PJ show would be 🔥

After what he paid for Twitter he just might.

I will be on Vacation May 19-31 - so it is only PROPER that they return to Ohio after 13 years the 2 weeks I leave in May

With that being said.... I don't think PJ fits that festival.  Previous headliners have been much heavier bands than PJ (music style not popularity)

I can't imagine the crowd going from System of a Down, Korn, and Bring me the Horizon into a seated acoustic set featuring Wishlist, Elderly Woman and Sometimes

Not saying it’s a lock but I’ve thought for a while they were possible for this. For one thing, Sonic Temple is a bit of a rebrand. It only got one year to try it out but that year had Foo Fighters, ROTR has had RHCP..it’s not that big of a stretch. Two, Danny Wimmer tends to book his headliners as package deals to play multiple festivals and they just had them at Bourbon and Beyond last year. I think this clue is beyond a stretch, it’s not even the right kinda Yield sign, but I don’t think them playing the festival is impossible either. 

Also, DWP now controls Inkcarceration which is gonna be more of their metal fest. Sonic Temple def gonna have some metal but I think it’s changing a bit and will certainly have at least one more “alternative” style day.

Thanks for the Info.  Wonder how a radius clause would affect Cleveland, Pittsburgh, Cincinnati, Detroit and Indy if they went the Sonic Temple route

Well, it’s certainly not a perfect comparison since the Nashville show had been onsale since 2020 and was sold out but it didn’t impact their decision to book them for Bourbon and Beyond in Louisville. Soundgarden played Rock on the Range in 2013 and also played Pittsburgh. My guess is PJ can do whatever they want and the festival would be thrilled to have them as a headliner. I’d be more concerned about the band feeling like that’s a check mark on this region than being restricted from playing nearby honestly.

Also, full disclosure I live in Columbus about a mile from the stadium and this would be a devils bargain even for me. I’d prefer to see them at Nationwide Arena again but considering the drought of Ohio shows and that Columbus isn’t even guaranteed to get the next Ohio show (I feel like the next arena date in Ohio will be Cleveland, that’s based on nothing but gut), I’ll take what I can get at this point. And be thrilled to get it.

Sonic Temple posted a pic on their facebook page of downtown columbus with festival posters on the side of a building. Now that building is on PEARL street...hmmmm

I hear ya!  I grew up in Cleveland, my first show ever was Cleveland 2010

I live in Virginia now, but have been very much awaiting their return to Cleveland!

So when does the lineup announcement come?

If Pj is playing shows in May I’d guess NOLA Jazzfest is in play, and this lines up with the Philly ballpark rumour early June.
I’d guess we get news January 16 or January 23 if this is in fact happening.  Those dates align with when those festivals announce lineups, and 10c can send a membership reminder in the January 10 newsletter.

Should be early next month. It’s been pushed back a couple times cause they didn’t have everyone locked in. I’ll stop now, I’m gonna talk myself into this and I honestly feel like it’s 50/50 haha

Weston1283

I’m just gonna Pray that Cleveland show is a day before or after the Blink show on May 16 lol

Lol no inside info on here but it sure does make a lot of sense with Pearl being the street name, a yield sign, and same promoters as B&B. On top of that we know they are supposed to be having a spring tour so it does line up pretty well!
