The 2023 Tour Speculation Thread - Potential Dates/Cities, Logistics/Data & Wishlists **UPDATED**

(I know the Cleveland ballpark is a longshot, but the team did the right thing in changing the name, and the band is an ardent supporter of indigenous people. That, and I could see the venue owners offering a hell of a downside to land a band like PJ to drum up business.)

I wonder if Cleveland hasn’t been hit because they don’t use Ticketmaster 

If I remember correctly, the Fieldhouse tends to use whatever ticketing service Dan Gilbert is invested in at the moment as opposed to Ticketmaster, so Fan club and Fan to Fan seats might not be an option there

OH. Good point! Maybe Cincinnati then?

I like the way you think.

It's unlikely Hartford and Fenway would ever be on the same tour.

None of the ballparks use Ticketmaster anymore. (Unless they do for concerts)  I'm second guessing myself as I type.  Heh.

They NEED to fix that. Though if they do a New England tour I would LOVE to see Pearl Jam @ the Garden in Boston.

I think its possible.  Both are high selling markets.  In 2013, they played 2x nights in f'in Worcester AND Hartford, which are 1 hour even from each other if you're going the speed limit.

 Anything is possible, but smart business says no shows within 300 miles when they play a big place. That is the Lollapalooza rule I believe.

New England & Atlantic Canada tour dates please for 2023. 

YoullseeDragons

Boardwalk Hall in Atlantic City.New Jersey. Can seat 15,000, and has the world's largest pipe organ The Poseidon for BOOM to play Crazy Mary on. 

Constructed between May 1929 and December 1932, the Main Auditorium Organ is the "Poseidon" Midmer-Losh pipe organ, the world's-largest, as listed in The Guinness Book of World Records. The instrument has approximately 33,000 pipes and requires approximately 600 horsepower (450 kW) of blowers to operate. 

The Beatles, The Who, The Rolling Stones have all played there as well. Time for.Pearl Jam to join the list.

Just had the new booster so good to go to more shows any time.  Let’s GO!

New booster? How many boosters are there? I received the first two shots, then the first booster release.

In the USA, I'm at "minimal recommended" and have had my two primary and one booster. I'm scheduled for my Omicron booster in a few weeks.

Other people have had more if they're higher risk. Some people have basically cheated the system and *said* they're higher risk and the people who give the vaccines don't really check.

I guess it's quite possible for someone to have had 7-8 shots by now if they're high risk.

T-Mobile in Seattle definitely uses Ticketmaster.

A question for those in the US, why do bands choose to play in baseball stadiums, rather than football stadiums? Baseball stadiums seem to have the worst set up imaginable for shows.

The new booster is reformulated to target Omicron.  There are a few variations actually.  Some target original Omicron while others target more current Omicron.  It just takes a little research to decide which one to get.

Truist Park (Braves stadium) uses Ticketmaster for all events.  Braves games and concerts.

Thinking they'll be on the South American Lolla lineups announced this week?

Not only are baseball stadiums the absolute worst- putting a band into an expansive outfield a mile from the seats for most-  PJ loves to play the oldest stadiums, full of beams and poles that obstruct views and ruin sound. All because the man in charge has a romantic feel for the old stadiums.

To do a real stadium tour takes double the equipment and double the crew to account for a four day set up. To do a fair stadium tour, bands usually do an impressive light show and huge screens, which is fair to the majority of fans sitting a mile away, giving them something to look at. I never understood the allure of stadiums for bands that can pack 20k into an arena. Rammstein drew about 40k to their east coast stadium shows, but they did that because their stadium show was designed for the international dates, and it looked impressive.

A lot of bands can fill 40K baseball stadiums, but not 70K+ football stadiums.

agreed....I hate the baseball stadium shows. The venues suck unless you are in GA and that even sucks. Fenway was god awful. Horrible site lines and impossible to get a fucking beer.

But I'll still buy the fucking tickets.

Interesting 

I would of put money down on that happening for sure next year. 

PJNB

So no Lolla. I doubt they make the trip down there this spring without doing those so maybe SA is out for early 2023. They said in the newsletter they are looking to tour soon or something along those lines so maybe Australia is still an option or maybe we finally get a proper east coast tour. 

drfox

I thought they would play in South America too. Wondering whether as the band gets older they will mainly focus on their most popular markets of the US, Canada, U.K., Netherlands, Germany etc. We’ve already seen them sort of give up with places like Australia/NZ as they are less commercially attractive and not worth the hassle. Guaranteed to sell out shows in these core countries even if they bump up the prices significantly. 

RatherStarved

Not that it benefits me but I’ve been predicting Aus/NZ.  I know it’s getting close to make an announcement but if they’re planning February that’s still 4 months away.  That’s more than enough time.
