I honestly think Ohana will be the deciding factor. If PJ is announced a tour will 100% happen. Hiwever, if it’s just a EV show, maybe we get a run of EV shows in 2025? Then a big PJ tour in 2026. No matter what though i’m a huge believer we will 100% get something for PJ35 this year. Whether that be the rumored Soldier Field show or a 4-5 stadium show run, such as maybe Soldier Field, Gillette Stadium, Metlife Stadium, AT&T Stadium and the Rose Bowl.
If they’re doing anything Labor Day weekend that needs to come out in the next 30 days. But in terms of fall dates, I fully expect them to play. If nothing announced by end of May then I would be concerned. I think they have more momentum now with Dark Matter than 2022 going into 2023
I’d bet 10 shows in September/October… Then I can see 2026 being Europe and South America with a couple Us stadium shows.
Agree, they're just on fire right now. No reason to stop

All venues that would 100% sell out.
I think that would depend on the pricing tiers. Does a football stadium run sell out if upper bowl seats are $59? Sure
Does it sell out If they play those venues with a single pricing system at $199 a piece? No Way
Not too long ago, people were struggling to give away their Wrigley Field tickets. Pearl Jam has hit their price cap. Anything above an arena will need to be priced appropriately to sell.

I think it would be priced such as GA/lower level around $190, with 200’s & 300’s $120 and if there’s a 400’s $60. Otherwise, if no 400’s. Then something like this: GA/100’s- $190 200’s- $120 300’s- $70

I really, really hope they don't make the leap to NFL stadiums.

Ballparks are bad enough.
Agreed. I’m out if it’s stadiums only. There’s nothing worse imo when it comes to live music

Why stadiums though?
They could easily sell them out now, with the success of Dark Matter, plus by doing that for PJ35 they could get more people in to a show which in turn would dwindle the amount of shows they would have to do, and scalping wouldn’t be as prevalent as there would be more tickets available.
Again this is just theoretical speculation and the odds of this actually happening is maybe 1%. But more people thru the door and less shows towards the end of 2025, means they could devote all of 2026 to EU/SA and AUS.

100% agree on this. Imagine the level of complaints when someone with a fanclub seat is a mile away? I'm over Fenway and the ballpark run, let's go back to just arenas please. I'd even mix it up with a few sheds lol (I miss seeing shows with a bunch of friends on the lawn). Don't get me wrong, I'm grateful for my fanclub tickets but it does take away the ability to see a show with a bunch of people. First world problems, I know.

Stadiums will be frustrating. We’ve already seen it doesn’t work with Tottenham (though there were other factors at play there as well including announcing months after Glasto/Green Day for the same night, the terrible location and the same price for golden circle and the nosebleeds). Hope they stick to arenas or cool outdoor venues. From a U.K./Euro perspective the main thing though, if they want to sell out and play in that busy late June / early July period, is to not leave the announcement until after everyone else.
For people talking about stadiums, we know they can sell Wrigley and Fenway but the Rose Bowl here in LA, that's ridiculous. The Forum was an easy ticket last year for two shows (and not selling the rear) and that's with many of the same people seeing both shows. A single stadium requires 60,000 unique ticket buyers to sell out. If they wanted to play a stadium in LA, presumably they would play BMO Stadium, which is where the Foo Fighters played last summer. It holds around 25,000 for a concert.

I fully agree. I'm not too far from the Rose Bowl, so very selfishly I hope they try their hand at what Oasis is doing this September. But BMO makes more sense. And I wonder if SoFi, which has hosted Metallica and the Rolling Stones in the last few years, is a more attractive venue if they choose to go with a football stadium.
On that note, I think this discussion throws some cold water on the Soldier Field rumor. If secondary market tix to Wrigley were bottoming out at around $40/each, I'm skeptical they're going to sell out a football stadium in a city that's had four shows in the last eighteen months.

I feel like we gotta get some rumors real quick, but I'm also willing to wait until May or so.
Again, I wouldn't be surprised if they go silent after the tour and hit us with a new album announcement sometime between ...oh, let's randomly say October 2025 and May 2026.
