BST was fun but I’m pretty sure someone said it’s O2 this year.  

It's 50/50. No reliable information apart from the date.
Same which Manchester

Is 12/11 the rumored announcement date for just Europe, or both Europe and US?

Europe. They never announce 2 tours at once

Real dumb dumb question, but why would the Europe tour be announced first if the first leg is rumored to be NA in May? It's just always the way it's been done logistically speaking?

With all of the rumors between multiple countries, albums, etc

I think this could FINALLY be the year where they just give us the entire year at once, simultaneously with the new album announcement, and we all rejoice in the ability to actually plan out vacations and trips many months in advance

"Many months in advance" is something very subjective. Europe is rumored to be in June. That's only six months away. Would be very grateful if they announce it this month.

Just for comparison. There is a pop singer in Germany. Called Helene Fischer. Schlager music. She is incredibly popular in Germany, Austria and Switzerland. She also recently announced her tour for June/July. But not for 2024, not for 2025, but for 2026! I am aware that this is a very extreme example. But there are also enough internationally renowned bands like Metallica, Blink 182 and so on who are also able to give their fans planning security. For more than five or six months in advance. And please don't say "Pearl Jam have always done it differently to everyone else." Yes, I'm aware of that. But is that cool?

I agree completely.  But to your point, 6 months advanced notice in the PJ world is an improvement based on recent tours.

The Sphere means NO Last Kiss to the back.

So...

LaFleur

Was there confirmation band was at the sphere test facility in Burbank, or just that they flew to Burbank?  Watt is based in Beverly Hills right, possibly just some final work on the record or other pre-release "stuff"?

The COVID Curse with this band would prevent me from purchasing flights for overseas shows, even if dates were confirmed by the band.

I would think that there will be pre-order leaks for the album soon, like Amazon/Japan or something like that.

For sure, if traveling to far away lands, one must be prepared to enjoy the trip whether the shows happen or not.  

Agreed.  Planning a trip to UK for the first time.  If Pearl Jam are there in June, all the better!!

They are definitely going to be there in June

PJ at the sphere is not happening you guys....why would a band with the least stage setup play a place like the sphere.

Agreed that MGM makes the msot sense. I'll try to dig up the article but I remember hearing the Sphere was basically residency-only given the timeline it takes to create the imagery for the backdrop...doesn't work as well for 2-3 night stands. I know Phish has a small run there but they incorporate more theatrical elements (see MSG last year) than bands like Pearl Jam do.

If they play the sphere just project the DTE video on a loop and give everyone motion sickness 20 minutes in

That’s what I’m thinking.  Pearl Jam is a no-frills band. Their  music is what sells tickets. They have no Pyro, no smoke machines, and no flames throwers burning up the stage.  

I could be wrong, but the sphere doesn’t seem to be in their DNA.

Wont happen this year or next year, but I could see them doing a 4 night stretch there someday for sure

I think the sphere is wishful thinking, but beyond the visuals it is supposed to sound great  that alone could be enough for the band (or any band) to play there.

I bought it and was in the midst of changing plans to attend Vegas rather than aiming for Vancouver/Portland. 

As it is, anyone know much about Vancouver and/or Portland in early May? I know it's definitely not ideal time to visit North Cascades or Crater Lake National Parks. Don't know much otherwise. Vancouver Island looks like paradise but likely not enough time to visit there.

^ Book a ferry and day trip there May 5, if that looks nice to you!

I bet crater lake will still be worth going! I went in a January and it was still beautiful. Cold, but beautiful. I was driving through so I made a detour to go.
