So when can we expect the tour announcement?!  Need to start planning lol

the 2020 spring tour was announced in early january, wasn't it?

Yep. And if I remember right, Dimi was dropping hints long before that time. I don't think he's dropped any hints yet, has he?

He hasn't dropped any here.

He retired from the hinting business.  Maybe the new management doesn’t like it.  But someone did notice on FB a while back that he changed a topic name from 22 tour to 22-23 tour.

With how well Camden sold, I’d be shocked if Philly didn’t get the ballpark treatment this fall.  

May - FL/Midwest arena tour 12-14 shows
- going to guess:
Miami, Tampa, Orlando, Atlanta, Charlotte, Raleigh, Baltimore, Pittsburgh, Cleveland, Detroit, Indianapolis, Milwaukee, Minneapolis, Kansas City, Dallas and Houston

Aug/Sept - Seattle, Missoula, Wrigley, Fenway,  Citi Field and Citizens Bank - 2 Nights each

I hope not. Leave the stadiums to the pink’s and the sheeran’s and the swift’s. Arenas arenas arenas

Agreed!

I'll never understand why some folks WISH for stadium shows when PJ can comfortably play arenas in every market

Couldn’t agree more…….

I would imagine that’s because it’s an easier ticket to get. Takes the stress out of hoping you score high-demand MSG or Philly tickets in the lottery.

An evening with and a 3 hour set > the 2h 15m new age arena sets with openers.  I have seen their faces before. Halfway up first base or third base side is adequate!

In other news, we could only dream of something like what metallica just put out there. No repeat songs with Fri/Sun gigs only at stadiums in some of the bigger cities. Could actually hit the whole tour!

I prefer Arena shows.  I've grown a little weary of stadium shows.  That being said, I also remember the clusterfuck of trying to get tickets to Seattle shows  when they play the Arena.  2013 sold out in a second (albeit for some reason they didn't do a 2nd show).  I know it's their home market, but it's 1 of the two big cities that are in reasonable travel distance to me (Vancouver and Seattle).  It's either play a stadium, or play the Arena and hope to god you get lucky and score tickets.

I would think Chicago and New York would have similar issues.  Play MSG or United Centre in cities of 10 million, with even more big cities in travel distance.   It's going to be insanely hard to get tickets.

I guess they could do what Foo Fighters did when I saw them in 2018.  They played the baseball park in Seattle, but played the Arena in Vancouver.  Sort of played to the size of the market kind of thing.

Taylor Swift did a similar thing, large stadiums only Friday - Sunday’s with 1-2 thursdays mixed in.  One city a week.  Wonder if this will become
a new trend for the larger acts, and i’m here for it.

I'd be fine with a mixture of stadiums & arenas depending on each market.

The only ballpark I’d like to happen is Camden yards!

Metallica is offering an 'I Disappear' ticket option that gains GA access to every show sans festivals. Cool idea for fans that have the time, energy and resources to chase them across a continent! Btw, just me or is that Kirk Hammett's little brother in the picture, haha?

Great deal.  $998 for 10 shows is an amazing deal in todays climate.  I think it’s awesome they’re offering this.
