Seattle never got a Gigaton show

PJ hasn't played Seattle since 2018 Home Shows at Safeco Field and hasn't toured a new record here since Lightening Bolt n 2013. And still today, no Seattle dates. Makes me sad.

    It’s so bizarre how they choose to tour. If you had told me in 2018 that they would play 3 legs of US dates in support of their next album but skip Seattle and Boston I would not have believed you. 
    9/13/98, 10/4/00, 4/29/03, 6/29/03, 7/2/03, 9/28/04, 9/29/04, 9/15/05, 9/16/05, 5/12/06, 5/13/06, 6/27/08, 6/28/08, 6/30/08, 10/30/09, 10/31/09, 5/15/10, 9/11/11, 9/12/11, 10/19/13, 10/21/13, 10/22/13, 10/25/13, 10/27/13, 9/26/15, 4/28/16, 4/29/16, 8/5/16, 8/7/16, 8/13/18, 9/2/18, 9/4/18, 9/26/21, 9/1/22, 9/2/22, 9/14/22, 9/18/23, 9/19/23

    it is a shame.. I mean alternatively they've only done 1 tour since those shows... I guess there's still hope depending how long it takes for the new album to come out.. but that's pretty crazy they'd skip an album tour there.

    Reading it in hindsight, makes it look like it was barely ever a thing.   We talked to them about it the RROH, they seemed interested... lol.

    Samesies on the right coast with New England. I'm glad I went to a pair of NJ shows (2020/2021) because I would have missed out for the Gigaton tour!

    Maybe they plan to do a pacific northwest leg in 2024 (new album tour) so opted not to play this year.   Once can hope.  I mean technically we had 2018, 2019 was a year they took off, 2020/21 were the covid years of no touring, so if Covid hadn't happened we only be looking at a couple of years.

    I'd really love to see a few more shows at the Gorge.  Haven't been back there since Tom Petty in 2014.   Need an excuse to go there :)

    I asked the owner of Easy Street to pitch them on "Drop in the Park 2." If the band really wanted to take care of the local folks they could book a venue like the Moore and restrict ticket sales to folks with area zip codes. Or just do another trip to the Gorge.

    Selfishly want this so bad. Do like Billy Joel at MSG. One show a month at Climate Pledge.

    I would kill to see them at the Gorge. They played their THREE TIMES in the 14 months I lived in Germany. I've never forgiven that one.
