MMRBQ is Shinedown, not Pearl Jam.

Talk about a let down.

Shinedown is beneath the tier I was thinking even (maybe like Disturbed, etc.)

MMRBBQ: we’ve got something really epic for you guys 

annnnnnnnnnnd it’s RC cola 

Its a radio festival.  Shinedown been headlining these type gigs for years (and they are a great live band).

Not to concern anyone but if Ohana is just Eddie, which I don’t expect to be the case, they have every reason to put off announcing the dates.

Likewise, they may want Ohana to sell out on Pearl Jam’s inclusion first, before announcing other dates too so there’s that.

Right now Ohana isn't concerned about selling out, they usually oversell Saturday anyway. The tour announcement based on Ohana styling tix is ridiculous

A7X are announcing more dates tomorrow..  Wondering if that will be some of the "Big" announcements that radios have been promoting?

Noblesville supports this being added to my 2023 itinerary.

Toronto area radio station with a "big" concert announcement on Tuesday also... so hoping Toronto is in the mix. I did have it in my "hopeful" list based on live pics on social but hoping they add if they are in Chicago, etc 

Which station? It definitely makes a difference...
97.7 or 107.1 would tell us about bands like Metallica, ACDC, or Disturbed...but Indie 88, 102.1 or even 107.9 would have my ears tingling.

SHN, Apollo, MSG and Camden. That's the northeast slate since Fenway 2 in 2018. (Yes, I am aware there was a pandemic during this period.)

And its been a DECADE since the band played a non-festival show in Texas and that was 1 single show in Dallas.  Before that?  TWO DECADES.  Thousands $$$ in flights and hotels over the years to see your favorite band……but absolutely no regrets, 100% worth every dollar.   So sorry if I don’t have any sympathy for my east coast friends not getting more shows.  Apollo was pretty epic though! 

Texas should and should have gotten more shows. No doubt. 

Texas has been starving for Pearl Jam shows for quite awhile. Some cities have been waiting longer than others. The last show in:

Austin - 2014

Dallas - 2013

Houston - 2003

San Antonio - 2003

Lubbock - 2000

Nacogdoches - 1993

Denton - 1993

and …

Ft Worth - Never

…I’m reminded of the Great Famine of 1315…

And that was a Great Famine indeed

Also lots of Lost Dogs being played over the weekend.. I think we will see shows from coast to coast as was the case in 2020/22.. with focus on the upper midwest as Rumored... I might be the only one, but If Ohana is played, I would expect Las Vegas make up as well as Sacramento, perhaps a San Diego show,.. and end up with Portland, Spokane and Seattle. .. I expect we know Tuesday, 10am with the Ohana release.

I love y’all but can’t believe some of you thought PJ was playing a gig with a “BBQ” pun in it. Come on guys

Personally I'm stoked they are going to Texas. Never been and looking forward to it. I guess I don't get worked up over a  Governor. Shit, I live in California with the worst Governor in our history and I'm still here. Looking forward to tomorrow! 

Lol... feel free to move to Texas... we love our Gov here

oh ok. So because I would like to visit a state Iv'e never been to I should move there? Sounds like your definitely onthebottle. Have a good day!

Alright summary of where we think we are shows and dates 

Minnesota - maybe in Duluth (Amsoil arena there has a capacity of 9k and so that could mean two shows IF the location and venue). Maybe Sep 1?

Either 2 in Minnesota or Made in America in Philly with 1 in Minnesota or both if start in very late August (August 28 - 30 ish)

Chicago - United Center (Sep 5 and Sep 7)

Noblesville - Ruoff Amphitheater - Sep 10

Dallas/Forth Worth - Dickies Arena

Austin - Moody Center

Las Vegas (possible reference to Vegas stadium in PJ clip and post by Mr T Shirt with dice).

Sacramento?  (I’ve been everywhere possible clue with Winnemucca road reference, possible that Fresno reference (tower) in PJ clip referenced a show north of LA in California).

Ohana Festival (last weekend in September, possible that San Diego reference in PJ clip referenced Ohana)

also mentioned as possible: Boston (Mansfield) and Detroit

Tour almost all, if not entirely all, in September.

Assuming that no Detroit or Boston: 

With that timing, there would be enough time for 2 in Dallas and 2 in Austin if they want to leading up to Ohana (even if 3 days between moving cities and 1 day between shows if 2 nights in 1 city).

Wasn’t there a hold in Pittsburgh?  No way I’m going back to find that info in this thread, but I’m pretty sure that was mentioned.  That could be somewhere between Indy and Philly. 

There was a bunch of dialogue on PPG but I don’t remember anything about a hold (certainly could have missed it though).

I do remember seeing picture and date from 2013 with 2013 pricing several times. Can’t remember context of the picture.

Certainly possible that they could do Detroit and/or Pittsburgh post Noblesville if they only do 1 show each in Dallas and/or Austin.

but the previous mention of multiple cities getting two nights makes me wonder about Texas getting multiple nights.

right now, we only know “for sure” of one city getting two with that being Chicago.

Are those chicago dates likely to be very popular. Is there a good chance of tickets both nights

I am hoping to make at least one of them, hopefully both. One thing about the tickets though, since Illinois doesn’t allow non transferable tickets, there won’t be a F2F option for the shows. Many will be bought up and thrown back on TM or Stub Hub right away for high prices. It may require waiting out the scalpers until a few days before the show to have prices drop down. Or buying them from people on here who for some reason can’t make it to the show.

I'm more thinking of the 10c lottery. If you put these 2 shows as your priority.

Usually, 10c will only allow you to win one night of a two night run in a city. So, I'd pick the night you want most and put it in 1st priority.

I've gotten 10c seats for both Wrigley shows in '16 and '18 through the lottery.

As I recall, the rules were different for stadium shows. I'm referring to arena shows - I know that a member could only win one of the two nights in Philly & NYC.

- By entering the drawing for any show, you are committing to purchase the tickets should your name be drawn. For example, if you enter for 10 shows, it is possible your name can be drawn for all 10 shows. *Exception applies to cities with two dates (New York and Philly).
 
- *Members can enter for New York and Philly shows, but can only possibly be drawn for one of the two shows in each city. We have a lot of members in those cities and we want to spread the love. For example, you can enter for both ticket options GA and Reserved for both Philly shows resulting in 4 total entries, but you can only possibly be drawn for 1 of those 4 entries.

https://pearljam.com/ten-club/event/2016-pearl-jam-tour-announcement

So no chance of getting both chicago shows through 10club?

Each tour has different rules, but this imo would be the fairest way to get more tickets into fans’ hands.

I personally would love an option to select either show but not both or select one night only and can only win one night to maximize my chances of securing at least one night.

But shouldn't the choice of priority take care of this? Nobody can choose both shows with their first choice, so it's not really improving anyone's chances if they're using their first choice. How is it fair for someone to get the show with their third choice if you chose it with your second?

I have a standing 11am eastern meeting on Tuesdays. After all this I'm going to miss out on the fun/disappointment/euphoria/chaos.

Vegas definitely happening, artist already posted he was doing the new poster a few weeks back. 

Logic says announcement tomorrow with Ohana, or still a few weeks away (maybe the Greeks FB post and recent pj social media posts of past shows was to gauge popularity on where they should be touring) but first we got the newsletter today and the inevitability that people will loose their minds and start posting something must have happened/gone wrong if no dates or big hints are in it.
