The Official 2024 TOUR Thread

estarr31

the tour shows are going to be in that 2:20-2:40 duration they been doing the past couple of years. I see no reason they're changing that. They've dealt with sick bandmembers impacting shows, no reason to extend themselves even more now that they're 60 years old. The ballpark shows, if they're spaced out may get some extra love but we just have to be thrilled this band is still touring, making new music (which helps get them jazzed to tour), and enjoy the last big hurrahs we're gonna get from these guys.

I cant see 22 song set list in the stadiums, I would think 30 is more like it, imo

Great question.  A 30+ song set would be a great feature of a ballpark show to offset the ballparkness.  

I don’t believe the 30+ is ever coming back. It was clearly not a popular decision with the fanbase, and as soon as they play even one long one again the questions start back up. I think it’s gone for good.
if they wanted to prove me wrong though I have a Indy ticket and we’re thinking about Philly

Yah, that was always going to be the impact of going to the 3 hour+ barn burners at every show, at some point (most likely due to age) they would have to dial it back at some point.

I'm glad we got that era, I really enjoyed the shows I saw in '13, '16 and '18.   I'm a little bummed it's most likely over, but I understand not everyone in the band ages at the same pace, so they need to do to insure all 5 to 7 members can keep touring (I'd rather they play 2 to 2.5 hour shows, then no shows, it's still an amazing couple of hours).  

tbh i prefer the 2 night stands with vastly different setlists. More room for actual flexibility

Having only 1 repeat between 2 shows in Austin was fabulous 

I kept waiting for Even Flow because I really had to pee. But it never came. I ended up having to stand in line during the encore break like a rookie.

You know the fan base is getting old when they can't make it through the show without a bathroom break!

Damn, I wonder what the Indy date is now? Maybe the 24th?

Why do we think the date has changed from the 26th?

Earthling precedent notwithstanding, it would surprise me if they released a single without announcing the album that it's from. It would be marketing malpractice. Of course, they did exactly that with "Can't Deny Me," so anything's possible.

Or maybe they'll announce the new single is from the forthcoming album, and then it will turn out that the album is titled forthcoming and "Can't Deny Me" will also be on it. That would be some retconning right there.

Ummm... As I think you said in your second paragraph, Can't Deny Me was supposed to be on something released in 2018. Obviously, that never happened.

...and honestly, it turned out ok. A 2019 tour for a new album would have had to been paused until late 2021 at the earliest.

I don't know. There is a show scheduled for the 25th on their website, but nothing showing for the 26th.

It probably would have been more popular if they included more rarities and B-sides and fewer covers. I think most of the heat from the fans was from the number of covers.

Those ticket odds in 2016 were a bit high, right? I think they'd rather play large "destination" cities and see odds closer to 5% on the high end.

...as sucky as it is.

I’ve always understood that arenas book on availability for concerts then book for the basketball and hockey games.  Can’t wait for the US tour announcement.

Rookie move.

Pee during the break after the opening band. Use that time to put your Depends on.

Are you sure about that? TV schedules come into play a lot. PJ had to move their previously-announced 2016 date in Toronto because of a playoff game needing that date.

I lost Fort Lauderdale, but won Miami as 6th choice. (seats, not GA)
