Fenway is Sept 15 & 17

If that’s the case, we have two full weeks between Wrigley and Fenway. That’s 5 shows under the 2 day break between cities and day off between 2 night stands theory. I’m hoping it’s 6 shows, and Cleveland gets one. Otherwise most likely MSG x2, Philly x2, Baltimore, Fenway x2….which will be insane.

Not one easy ticket in the late summer run except Missoula maybe. 

It will be interesting to see how late in the rounds some of these east coast shows go for picks. 

You’re right. Might only win 1 show…Baltimore would probably be the easiest since the 3 major northeast cities are getting played. 

Perfect run for me, assuming the southeast is out, would be:
Missoula - Pittsburgh - Cleveland - Detroit - Indy - Wrigley x2 - MSG x2 - Baltimore - Philly x2 - Fenway x2
Thats 14, but think we were hinted that’s too many shows, or was that just for Europe?
The Midwest probably won’t get those shows because they need to sell Wrigley and make up Indy

Also, do we really think they can sell out 2 shows in Vancouver with Seattle, Portland, and Missoula getting played? Is there really that much demand in Vancouver? I saw them there in 2005, band was awesome, crowd was meh.

Berlin could be either Waldbühne or Wühleide. I don't think there has been any "confirmation"

The former is slightly larger, on the west side of town, next to the Olympic stadium. PJ played here in 2018 and 2022

Wuhlheide is on the east side of town, out in the woods. PJ played here in 2000, 2006, 2009, 2010, 2014

Or they could play the Mercedes Benz arena (former O2). PJ played here 2012.

I've been to both, i know the places..

ComeToTX

is there any chance LA is the hollywood bowl?  that's probably the only way i travel out there to see them again.

question
is it worth to drive from LA to Seattle?
i mean, i've never been there so , it seems like fun to do that trip by car, stopping at the turistic places?

I have never done it but the Pacific Coast Highway from LA to SF has been described as "It is one of the most astoundingly scenic roads in the world".  Any truth to this from anyone that has traveled it?

YES

With a northwest start predicted, sounds like Jazz fest in New Orleans is out. Might squeeze in voodoo fest in fall for a quick payday.

Longer answer: There aren't a lot of "tourist" spots along that drive, other than Hearst Castle and the giant redwoods. On the other hand, the Pacific Coast Highway (NOT to be confused with I-5) is a gorgeous drive.

As someone else noted, there is a LOT of California still to drive through north of San Francisco -- Napa and Sonoma counties are famous for their vineyards. Further north, there is Mendocino; I remember driving to Mendocino many years ago when we lived in the San Francisco area, and it also was a beautiful drive.

I'm biased, but I believe that the Pacific Northwest (Washington and Oregon) is the most beautiful part of the country.

But: people from other countries, and even Americans who only have lived in the eastern part of the country, don't fully appreciate how big this country is and how large the western states are. I encourage you to take a good look at the distances between LA, SFO, Portland, and Seattle before you reserve a rental car. The drive from LA to Seattle is over 1100 miles (1700+ km).

Unless something changes don’t think you’ll see any of those other cities besides Missoula, Indy, Chicago, NYC, Philly, Baltimore and Boston.

My wife and I drove from Seattle to LA on our 1 year anniversary. Highly recommended.

There might be a little hint about the location of the Berlin venue on Facebook. Dimitris says that you can reach the venue from Alexanderplatz station with the S3 / S5. The Wuhlheide is out of the question. As far as the Waldbühne is concerned, only the S3 goes directly to the station next to the venue. The S5 also runs in this direction, but has already reached its final stop at Westkreuz. 5 to 6 kilometers (3 to 4 miles) away. But both the S3 and the S5 stop at Warschauer Straße station. And that's where the Mercedes Benz Arena is located.

All without guarantee. May also be a misunderstanding.

I live in Vancouver and it does not seem likely we have the demand for 2 shows, especially if they are playing Seattle in the same tour. My first (very optimistic) thought was: Maybe it's 2 small warm up shows! They did do a warm up show here before the Binaural tour in 2000 but you had to win tickets to get in (the quest for these tickets took over my life for the entire period of the contest) so it is not entirely impossible, but it's been a pretty long time since they've done something like that. (Someone else can chime in with the exact information because I do not remember.)

I would love a Detroit show. Not keen on the ballpark ones. When did they do a run like that last? I remember us going to six shows or so a couple of years ago. The Midwest has great audiences. Also, isn't it weird there's no Toronto?

Nope.

Voodoo hasn't happened since 2019. Live Nation/C3 Presents doesn't know what to do with it. Too many target demographics and not enough ticket sales. I mean go look at those late 2000's lineups compared to what Live Nation was offering in the late 2010's and its clear they lost the plot...

 I live in New Orleans and hear tell it might become a Country Fest since our big Country fest up the road in Baton Rouge also folded after covid.... 

If they play in New Orleans from here to eternity, it will probably be at Jazzfest or that prison known as the Smoothie King Center...

Good detective work. He says : 

"i think u need to take from Alexanderplatz the S3 S5 train to go to the venue. I'm going with taxi. I'm lazy."

I think the taxi hint also points to the MB Arena. Would make no sense to take taxi all the way to Waldbuhne. Train would be faster. 

S3 would take you to Wuhlheide too, but not S5. 

MB Arena it is. The only venue they have played 2 nights in Berlin previously.

Two shows in a city seems to be the new format and I like it as far as LA to Seattle, take an airplane the drive is long and unless you’re going to stop for a few days, it’s not worth it for instants the Oregon coast is really amazing but to really enjoy You really need to spend a few days and driving the five is as boring as it gets

I agree with your logic.

Dimitris doesn’t say things like this by chance,   It’s a definite clue to the venue.

Wondering whether the 10pm Berlin curfew only applies to outdoor shows, and hence why an indoor arena may be being considered. I know the 10pm finish last year was unpopular and Eddie complained about it on stage (saying something about them having to pack up even though it was only just going dark) and they had to rush the end, cutting Yellow Ledbetter short after only 10 seconds to finish on Alive.
