May 4th - Jazzfest (Festival)
May 6th - Houston
May 8 - Dallas
May 10 - Kansas City
May 12 - Minneapolis
May 14 - Madison or Milwaukee
May 16 - Detroit
May 18 - Indianapolis
May 20 - Cleveland
May 22 - Buffalo
May 24 - Pittsburgh
May 25 - Sonic Temple Columbus (Festival)
May 28 - Boston Calling (Festival)
May 30 and June 1 - Citizens Bank Park Philly

The fall 2020 tour was supposed to include Columbus or Cleveland, Pittsburgh, Chicago (not Wrigley) and, IIRC, the Wisconsin/Minnesota area.

A Philadelphia show or two in late 2020 also would have made sense.

Had that happened, I also could have easily seen Indianapolis be a thing.

Is this a legit rumor or wishful thinking? Would be amazing…

A little of both - I have a good feeling about Bonnaroo at a minimum

No idea what’s real and what isn’t but nice to see some chatter on here.

The list is from a few posts earlier.

The 2020 tour dates were all but confirmed, but someone in the band (Stone?) came out and basically confirmed the cities I mentioned.

Columbus got Riot Act and Backspacer.

For the 2010 Backspacer tour, we got a lot of Avocado songs. Nine songs that night were either Backspacer or Avocado. The other 18 covered all other studio albums including the Singles album (SOLAT), Lost Dogs (Alone and YL) and a cover song (Crazy Mary.)

I'm going out on a limb and saying that if Sonic Temple happens...

Dance, Retrograde, Superblood, 7 o'clock, River Cross, Mind Your Manners, Sirens, Lightning Bolt, Records Play...

Plus the usual hits... Alive, Even Flow, etc.

I'm feeling a lot of Lightning Bolt for the next Ohio show(s). It'll be their first time in Ohio since 2014.

Can't believe they haven't played Asia in almost 20 years. 

I can see them playing Jazzfest. 2016's show was under rated in terms of setlists. Would also lineup with the ACL rumour. Not sure where they would play around the south in the spring though.. Dallas? Houston? Florida? Non-stadium Chicago?! 

So far the biggest rumour for Jazzfest seems to be Dead & Co, as they were supposed to play 2020, but we know how that went and with this being their last major tour it seems like a given. 

PJ should play 3 nights in Cancun as a destination of sorts.. That would be awesome. 

Dead could be a Sunday same weekend headliner or opposite weekend. I think jazz fest announces around 1/23.

How sure are we about the Citizens Bank Park rumors for May 30 & June 1?

Another source said June 3rd, or June 1st & 3rd

2016 Tour Announcement - which started in Late May and included August/September ballpark shows - was announced in the 2nd-3rd week of January 2016

So if we are talking April or early May, it has to be coming any day now

☝️

Curious to hear what you're thinking now with all of the rumours and updates! I was REALLY enjoying your tour speculation thread. Maybe too much hahaha 

Updating that thread as we speak! Other acts tour dates help narrow the field

They have a game on June 5th - so I don’t know how they could get the field ready following a June 3rd show - so I guessed 30th/1st as my two complete guesses

Another sign….
unless festivals just randomly choose to announce lineups at 1:00 EST on Tuesdays now

Adding to the mix

• PJ just tweeted a 2009 ACL video
• Vegas was cancelled.  Would love for it to pop up again
• Loved the old rumors that when Climate Pledge Arena would be built, there would be a Seattle residency

Are we really going to get a spring tour dropped on the 10th (never happens on the 10th) with no real arena rumours out there? Maybe just a couple of festivals announced first? Maybe nothing? Either way this is the quietest this thread has ever been starting a new year....

No.  Typically a festival announces the line up and some time is given to sell tickets.  PJ dates announced shortly thereafter if they are happening. 

My understanding is that if an artist is signed to play a festival, they cannot play a festival in the country for a certain amount of time and no other shows within a certain radius are permitted. My guess is one festival with PJ dates either before or after that in the spring and maybe the same in the fall.  I still have my doubts about spring dates, that would a short time since the last shows (at least for Pearl Jam).  ACL does not announce the lineup until May.

Any chance of Eddie Vedder playing Byron Bay Bluesfest? Apr 6-10.

When was the last time they announced festival shows in the USA before announcing a tour? 2014 I think?

Hmm not sure. ACL 2014 I think or the South American Lolla shows in 2015.

Usually something has slipped out by now if there are spring NA dates.  Telluride and The EV stuff are the only things I remember truly sneaking up on us in the past decade...but I'm getting old and may have forgotten something.  Speaking of getting old, they are 10 years older than me so let's get on with some live shows while we still can.

To be real, no one knew Camden, Sacramento, and Fresno we’re going to be added last year until the announcement.

I would not hold your breath on Bonnaroo.

Not necessarily, the relationship between the band and the festival organisers also play a part. Here in the Netherlands they played Pinkpop and then two nights (well one night) in Amsterdam which is around two hours drive apart. They played Werchter festival, although in Belgium is about an hour drive from Pinkpop and also Frankfurt, although in Germany, only a three hour drive from Pinkpop
(I live five minutes drive from Pinkpop lol)   

They love Pinkpop and Werchter it seems, and AMS is bound to sell out even though they play so close.

That makes sense, maybe it is the same promoter and perhaps the rules are different in Europe.

CANADA?

Where the heck is that Canadian sports fan to help shed a light on this?

There have been 3 or 4 voices in the last few years that have had reliable information. None of them (that I know of) have hinted at anything yet.

that being said, they also could say or hint there is "no tour" so everyone move along?

They do not do that.  They only provide information when something is happening.

darwinstheory

Keep in mind that some of our friends here that have had information in the past may have gotten that information from old management. Purely speculative here, but that could be a reason for lack of rumors lately.

peterwhughes

My guess is on Tuesday 10 we get a reminder to update 10C memberships. 

Then one week later on Tuesday 1/17 we get a tour announcement. 

The Greek keeps posting “New England”, fingers crossed for Fenway and/or Boston Garden 2-3 night stand late spring
