    With what's going on in Southern California currently I would be very surprised if the whole band didn't play Ohana at the very least...possibly another show or two.
    I get the sentiment, but I don't know...  Ohana is over 8 months away and that feels too far out to have an impact with the current LA fire relief efforts.  Plus I do think the Ohana organisers are sensitive to it being equally a small festival for locals as much as travelling PJ fans.  Nothing would surprise me, but if it was about the LA fires then some local bands like GnR or RHCP might make more sense as headliners than PJ??
    For Eddie in particular, San Diego holds a pretty special place in his life. They might not be a local band...and yes LA isn't San Diego, but I would think they'll 100% be looking at how they can help.

    RHCP is a hard "not happening" because there's unresolved issues between John F. & Josh K. Every other member of each band is friendly with the other camp, except for them. As for GnR, the band as a whole is friends with Duff, but I don't believe that extends to Axl. So that's a no on them. Is either one within the realm of possibility? Yes, but it would be a long sit-down conversation in both instances & breaking of bread. Maybe this tragedy will be the agent for that?
    In the meantime, more likely artists would include: Metallica, Miley Cyrus, Linkin Park, Pink (again), Beck (again), Haim (again), Queens of the Stone Age, Social Distortion, the reunited Rilo Kiley, X, Ice Cube, Snoop Dogg, Public Enemy, Joan Jett, Weezer, Tool, The Go-Go's/Belinda Carlile, The Bangles/Susanna Hoffs, Body Count, Cypress Hill, L7, The Offspring, Bad Religion, among others.
    And if not one of their bands, then solo sets from Duff, Tom Morello, Josh Homme, Henry Rollins, Dave Navarro & Stephen Perkins. Noteworthy: although Canadian, when Buffalo Springfield was active, they were based in L.A, (c'mon down, Uncle Neil)
    P.S. would love to get Elton out of retirement for one night only...

    i hope so.  i'd make the trip again for pj or neil.  sadly, we'll probably have 5 or 10 more natural disasters by then.
    This show, another show, a show here and a show there.

    I love your solo set candidates, and while Neil can be tough to pin down, a make-up date would be most welcome!

    Things definitely seem to be possible for later this year.

    One thing I know is the 2024 tour rumor thread was locked due to no further 2024 rumors very shortly after the 2024 dates were announced. This thread.....not so much...

    If this theory checks out, we'll see after tomorrow.

    I will keep beating the hope drum for Summer shows in the US so that teachers can attend out of town shows without having to miss instruction time.
    Do teachers realize that the rest of us need to take time off from work no matter when the show falls, summer or not? 
    I’m not a teacher but I guess the difference is that most people can schedule vacation time to travel to shows at any time of year but teachers can’t book time off during the school year.  
    Yes!  My wife is a teacher and she doesn't have flexibility to take any substantial time off during the school year, you can't take days off before scheduled holiday breaks because of the contracts, and with having to create lesson plans when you do take a day off, it is a huge pain.

    Or just go to a show in your town! They ain't at 11 in the morning lol.
    Too bad they haven't been to Detroit in over 10 years.  I guess it would be nice if they came around more often

    Yeah, I get 3 personal days to use. Anything after that I’m docked pay. And I’ve taken some workdays off to go see some shows, so docked a day’s pay.

    I’m not complaining though, because my vacation schedule throughout the year is awesome! Just would be nice to have a U.S. tour coincide with vacation!

    It ain't 10 but I went 6 between Boston shows. Family obligations mean I really have to pick my spots if I'm traveling for anything more me-focused.

    Nowadays there are so many good shows coming around. Too many to keep up with, especially if you're in a city like Boston or Detroit. It's very liberating to go from Pearl Jam is my favorite band to Pearl Jam is one of my favorite bands with their current touring schedule.

    The original 2024 announcement had dates through to November in the first place. I agree that more legs seem very possible if not straight up likely but it’s slightly different, I don’t think anyone was expecting December shows last year

    Was my first time seeing them in an arena, Release Oceans Nothingman into Go. Will never forget that start. That version of Go was killer too

    Strange how the band rarely plays some large cities in their main markets. I think the most extreme is probably Houston in the US and Birmingham in England, both cities well over 1m people. Think it’s 20+ years since they played at either

    Too bad they haven't been to Detroit in over 10 years.  I guess it would be nice if they came around more often
    It ain't 10 but I went 6 between Boston shows. Family obligations mean I really have to pick my spots if I'm traveling for anything more me-focused.

    Nowadays there are so many good shows coming around. Too many to keep up with, especially if you're in a city like Boston or Detroit. It's very liberating to go from Pearl Jam is my favorite band to Pearl Jam is one of my favorite bands with their current touring schedule.
    Last Detroit show was 2014.  
    And what a show it was. Best opening 3 song imo 
    Was my first time seeing them in an arena, Release Oceans Nothingman into Go. Will never forget that start. That version of Go was killer too 
    Agreed. That opening was written for me (us). Before that show I never thought that opening would be possible.

    I will keep beating the hope drum for Summer shows in the US so that teachers can attend out of town shows without having to miss instruction time.
    Do teachers realize that the rest of us need to take time off from work no matter when the show falls, summer or not? 
    Or just go to a show in your town! They ain't at 11 in the morning lol.

    Strange how the band rarely plays some large cities in their main markets. I think the most extreme is probably Houston in the US and Birmingham in England, both cities well over 1m people. Think it’s 20+ years since they played at either 
    I think Birmingham being fairly equidistant from London and Liverpool/Manchester probably impacts that. I didn't realize it had been that long for Houston -- that's stranger than Birmingham to me.

    Speaking of Birmingham (Alabama) -- they've only played there twice ever I think.

    For sure!  I go to a bunch of other shows around the area.  With family obligations you have to pick your spots.  So many great bands to see.

    Ok but what’s the timeframe? Whole career? Last 10 years? There are obviously a bunch of places they used to hit regularly but haven’t in a decade so I’m not sure what I’m supposed to take from this without context
