I wonder if they could fill up Mercedes-Benz... that'd be fun.

venue's sound is dreadful unless in pit

Yeah it’s terrible. No to Benz PJ! 

I concur!!  Horrible acoustics.  Even for football games.  IF they do play here in Atlanta, I'm hoping it's at Gwinnet Arena or Alpharetta Amphitheatre (whatever its called now).

9pm in Mumbai is 11:30am in the eastern U.S. 

Shall we brunch during the setlist thread? I vote for bottomless mimosas.

or it means Lizzo is headlining...

Maybe I'll skip brunch.

Lollapalooza in India is such an odd thing right now. On one hand it sounds kind of awesome. On the other the water crisis makes it seem problematic and the kind of high risk atmosphere the band might want to try and avoid

Seems very unlikely rhcp can make those dates.

I think I'd quit my job to do the Asia/Australia if I was told I couldn't get the time off.

with these current setlists?!

Fair point.   More about the locations and my weird obsession with seeing Pearl Jam in as many different countries as I can.  

Set lists are coming around, more concerned about such a long trip and shows getting cancelled. May be a better post retirement trip, to stay in straya longer and no need to rush home. Especially if they tour during footy season, which is highly unlikely as it’s a winter sport. March maybe, boys?  Oh well, good to dream.

Champagne breakfast for...the west coast!

I attended Knotfest Finland in my hometown of Turku yesterday, and I found the perfect venue for a PJ show in Finland. Plus PJ cancelled their show in Turku in 1992, so it's about time they make up for that one 😉

Slipknot played for 30 000 people at a field/parking lot outside the local hockey arena and the mess hall. It doesn't sound that sexy, but it worked and they had built a perfect outside concert venue out of nothing. And I thought this would be perfect for a like one day festival with PJ as a main act with let's say two or three other classy acts. Just like Imola this summer. It's about time PJ played Finland!

The promoter for the Slipknot show said they hope to attract similar big acts to Turku now that they have a smooth working venue/place for up to 30 000 people.

PJ next summer in Turku, Finland?

Well, one can at least dream 😎🤞

Would really love to see them perform in Iceland! Not sure if they have played before but it’s a place on my to visit list.

Summertime
Pleeeeeeeease and thank you

Yes. Enough arenas, back to sheds. 

I wouldn't go that far. Too many sheds are a pain to get in and out of. Play the cities, not the sticks. 

This. 

I don't love the TD Garden, but would prefer see them there then Fenway or Mansfield.

I usually prefer indoor venues but the acoustics in TD Garden are atrocious in my experience. Would rather Fenway over that, and I’m aware of how ridiculous that sounds.

We have the same problem in the DC, our arena sounds like hot garbage. I'd love to see PJ play Audi Field, though, that place would be fantastic for shows

JimmyV

Arenas have bad sound, ballparks are too big, sheds are in the sticks, clubs are a pipedream. 

I don't care where the shows are. I just want another U.S. summer run. 

maverick

Major League soccer stadiums could be the perfect size and sit.  

Not as big as NFL or many MLB stadiums, but bigger than sheds and arenas.   

Just an idea.   One show could cover way more fans than arena’s hold.

I want Fenway so I can get tickets on the field. That would be worth any price to me haha.

It’s a great time. And were a pretty easy snag last couple go arounds for folks who were diligent.

Does Audi Field have a stage?

Historic Crew Stadium, while it worked for Rock On The Range, I'm not sure it'd work for Pearl Jam. The nearest bars are campus dive bars and not the best for Wishlist parties, although they'd work in a pinch. There's not much around there.

Although...you get word to Eddie that Rock On The Range was supposed to be a day or two after Chris died (the band was en route from Detroit to Columbus when they found out) and that could be something magical.

I believe the FC Dallas stadium has a stage, but isn't it way in the sticks?

Douglas12373

I don't know, as far as I know there haven't been shows there yet. Would it be that much of a lift to rent one locally? It's a great size, the layout is fantastic, there are a ton of bars and restaurants there around Nats Park, and its accessible by Metro. But no shows yet, not sure why

They built a new soccer stadium in downtown Columbus. I know nothing about it, but it’s there, in a much more convenient location.

Ohio stadium if we’re talking columbus stadiums.

Yes, please! PJ shows during summer vacation for two months when I can travel? And start in Atlanta for me? I’d be a happy man.

too big. can you imagine the bitching in here if someone gets FIELD tickets and they are 100 yards away?!

RatherStarved

Only marching bands allowed in that place.

Any rumors yet? Wondering if they will do the second NA leg from 2020 they never announced or if that’s completely scratched.

God I hope there is another NA run. A nice southern run…

Guy I met on the plane back to Boston from Toronto said he heard 3 nights at Fenway. 

But I didn’t even get his name. So I wouldn’t go booking hotels quite yet. 

tschav

Guessing 2023 NA will be less locations than the original 2020 fall plans, favoring larger ballpark shows and slightly longer setlists. I can see them a bit more conservative on # of shows to stay healthy, and go with bigger shows to pull in good $.
