and it's just plain too expensive to tour cross canada. the distance between cities is often double or more what it is in bigger markets in the states.

When they’re only playing 9-12 dates over a three week leg, you’re never going to see a tour like 2005 again. A 2005 itinerary now would take like two months for the band to complete with how many days off they take (one between each show, at least one or two days off between cities). In 2005 they play six shows in seven nights going from Saskatoon to southern Ontario. That would never happen now.
I think the itinerary we saw in 2011 is best-case, but as I mentioned before, Canadian dates sprinkled in with US dates, like 2013, 2016, 2022 is most likely.
yah, I feel like this thread is full of a lot of hope, but with the limited touring and short tours, I expect PJ will stick to larger markets while rules out large parts of Canada. We only have so many cities over a million. Vancouver, Calgary, Edmonton, Toronto, Ottawa?, Montreal. It's pretty limited.
They haven't even been to Vancouver in 10 years (or 7 years if you count the Vancouver area). It's really widdled down to Ontario and Quebec.
I think we're all just doing pie in the sky optimistic hoping here
Our metro centre in Nova Scotia has finally been taken over by Ticketmaster. And in New Brunswick last year or so has their newest arena taken over by Ticketmaster. So both provinces are finally on ticketmaster.com's search engine. More hope that bigger bands will be coming to the Maritimes.
Crossing fingers for another Halifax to the Max experience with Pearl Jam, in 2024.
Kelowna is bigger than 100,000 and deserves a show. Tool is playing there soon, but I skipped it because of the ticket prices
Kelowna is just over 100,000, kind of like Nanaimo here on Vancouver Island. That's not a super big market. When I was working on my list, I was mostly trying to think of places that have over 250,000 people.
It's all moot though, because so much of Canada is small market. There's a reason most bands dip in from US tours to play the bigger markets only :(
You aren’t counting West Kelowna (Westbank) which is another 40,000 or the 43,000 in Vernon all within a half hour of downtown Kelowna. The Thompson-Okanagan altogether is 631,000. It’s a bigger market than you are giving it credit for.
Would just like to point out that Thunder Bay a, is the greatest city in the world, and b, once hosted a Pearl Jam concert. I'm sitting next to the poster, and every so often I look at it and remind myself, "They really did play the arena where you learned how to skate."

But I still hold out hope!
Cmon they get a 35 percent discount when they come to Canada or 30 percent lol on hotels and food etc.
Don’t think it costs that much more to drive 600 miles in between shows compared to 300. Whatever excess cost there is, I’m offering to cover it so that I may head from Montreal (no shows in 12 years…) to Moncton to Halifax (assuming a West => East tour).

Deadly… how do I add that question mark to my handle… 🤔 Be a nod to another of my all time favs, them Irish rockers Therapy? who opened for FurnaceFace at the Rev in Edmonton in ‘94 I want to say. Easily the best band that night.
@tish you got it right… in that neck of the woods 👍
Maybe in 2025. With only Vancouver rumoured for 2024, and lots of US dates, maybe they do 8-10 shows in Canada and South America in 2025.

Excellent!
Halifax or Moncton getting a show would be amazing
