Its fair to say right now we have the whole year planned what could change are the dates, a day after or before what is said here.
That being said i would love a xmas gift with the european tour announcement but as i said before i can see that happenning in the first week of january
Are we thinking maybe announcement Fri 5th Jan, and on sale the week after? Or it just has to be before 10th?
europe has to be announced in the first 2 weeks of january for sure
From what I've gathered reading other posts, announcing the dates all at once with a singular lottery would theoretically make it a lot more challenging for folks looking to attend multiple shows, particularly in any of the larger cities in the rumored US Leg 2 (NYC, Philly, Chicago, Boston), right?
And thus be a benefit to local market fans who would theoretically have their hometown shows as the highest priority
Having an edge for local fans seems like a good idea to me.

A little comparison - Blink 182 announced their world tour in October 2022 (with dates all the way up to AUS/NZ in February 2024).
Foo Fighters announced their UK tour in June 2023, which takes place in June 2024.
Taylor Swift EU/UK announced June 2023. Starts in May 2024.

Not disagreeing with most bands announcing way earlier for all their shows, but late announcements by PJ became a thing over past decade or so at least for US shows. Honest question, why can’t it be a thing for Euro shows?

The 2020 tour was announced/went for sale in December 2019. And that was for July 2020.
Same goes for 2018. June 2018, for sale December 2017.
So announcing about 6 months out seems to be the case for at least the last 2 euro tours.
Lol I just noticed the same goes for 2014 and 2012. So yeah.
But just seems a bit late to do that now. Latest I saw was going on general sale around the 20th of December. But you never know, Xmas present announcing the tour on 25th and sale starts Friday 29?

I get it’s what they did in the past. They used to give more time for US until they changed it up. I’m asking if there’s a reason I’m missing that they can’t wait until 4 months out for a Euro tour? Is there something that makes it different from a U.S. tour?

You are right, assuming these are all arenas, there’s absolutely nothing to stop them announcing the Euro tour 3 months before. Other bands like QOTSA have done this. In my view the only reason they previously announced in December was due to the volume of festivals.
I predict we will know when the announcement is imminent. There will be a genuine social media buzz being generated and lots of teases and hints from people in the industry. I don’t think it’s going to just pop up one day and take us by surprise.

It’ll happen when it happens I’m good with waiting till then!
The bummer is that if you are going on vacation to some of these places, and want to do tourist activities, some of them fill up a year in advance.
Small problems. Not Pj’s problem. Good problems too. I went ahead and gambled and booked some nonrefundable activities (golf rounds) in Australia. Can’t wait.
Yeah agreed! Enjoy down under should be great shows

The list could go on
Blink 182 hadn’t played in what 10+ years? All their shit sold out quick last year so they prolly were encouraged to strike while the iron is hot and keep booking as much as possible. Foos must’ve taken a year off when the drummer died so they are in their own unique situation..
My thoughts that may be wrong include… that unlike the bands and megastars (Taylor) above are in different places.
The band/ management being super careful about announcing, not booking. Let’s face it, they’ve cancelled shows on the last three tours more or less, due to Eddie’s voice. That’s prolly why the last “tour” was so short. Trust me I wish he’d stop smoking cigarettes and hold back on the red wine but he isn’t. Therefore he can’t do tons of shows on a “leg” anymore.
They also more rarely do two nights in a row at one venue anymore. Those Fenway and wrigley double headers had a day off in between them. So maybe Eddie asked or they decided what would be sustainable and wouldn’t jeopardize sending the whole crew home is ten to twelve shows then at least a month off, then ten to twelve more. Keep in mind a lot of them are family men now… and in an interview stone said Eddie is his muse and if it were up to him they’d tour every year but Eddie doesn’t want to. I wonder what y’all think??? also I’d like to book my flight to Ireland soon. That is all.

LA is most likely the Forum again, though it would be great if they did the Hollywood Bowl or the Greek...

I’ve heard nada, but would have to think it’s arenas for first leg -> Rogers in Van, Moda in Por, Golden 1 in Sac, Forum in LA and Climate Pledge in Sea. This just seems most likely.

Indeed.
Are we still on for (something) on Feb 13th?

No it didn't but it would be a good thing to have this time though.

Is Auckland the only NZ city mentioned in the rumour mill? I'd go twice but a 3 date tour with Auckland Wellington and Christchurch would be awesome. That's just my entitled arse talking though.

This list leads to nowhere. „You annouce EU tours 6 months in advance“ is bollocks. You could find as many examples that had shorter notice. NIN in 2022, Springsteen in 2016, Raconteurs in 2019, Royal Blood in 2023, Macca in 2016, Stones always.
It just depends on risk management and bands‘ decisions. Announce the summer EU leg in February is not uncommon at all. Especially with so few shows.
Whatever their reasons are for announcing when they do, I think it's pretty cool that they are getting fan club members this information in advance via semi-official channels. There is more than enough to go on if you want to make tentative vacation requests, book refundable rooms, etc.

The last night of the 2000 tour was bootleg #72, originally supposed to be 76.
Half the shows of the 2000 tour? I wonder if they found a second wind. Hopefully 2025 will continue the momentum.
