so lady gaga ef'ed up?

To be fair, so did Green Day when they "accidentally" posted a promo/give away for Ohana tickets.  Totally an accident, not at all a way to circumvent this silly contract.  

Guess we'll be waiting a couple of weeks for an update.

It's possible Lady Gaga asked for, and received, an exception. Or negotiated it as part of her agreement to perform at Coachella.

She's excellent in negotiations. Phenomenal poker face.

My instinct is that there’s no more shows or just a few in South America. The merch for these Spring shows is all labelled as “Dark Matter 2025 Tour”. If more shows I would have guessed it would be labelled Spring Tour or US Tour.

My instinct is they are taking a full year off after May and will be back next for Europe in June/July next year.

This. If there were more shows planned and they were just in the "maybe possibly if things work out" stage, I'm sure the merch would be as you said.

I think Ohana is the last holdout...but that might just be EV solo (with or without the Earthlings).

If things were looking hopeful, they'd probably at least say "US 2025" or "Spring 2025".

I've had the "2018/2019" feeling for a while now...enjoy these shows. These could be it for a while. OTOH, when they re-emerge after Pittsburgh (could be a while), the possibility for new music is definitely higher than 1%, given we know they recorded in Australia.

ON THE OTHER HAND... I'd be surprised as all hell if they took the entirety of 2026 off.

What was:
2013 - Lightning Bolt and tour through 2016.
2017 - Relatively quiet year
2018 - South America, announced album and Home/Away Tour 
2019 - Break year
2020 - Gigaton released and COVID craziness.
2021 - Beach Shows
2022 - Tour
2023 - Small tour
2024 - Dark Matter

What could have been:
2013 - Album
2018 - Album and tour
2019 - Tour
2020 - Tour? Album?
2021 - Album?
2022 -

2018-2022 really screwed the band's cycle up. The good news? We're past that now.

Honest question, and I'm not trying to be a smartass (really)...couldn't the merch for additional US dates still have "Dark Matter 2025 Tour" on it?

Of course it *could* but...why would the first night have "2025 tour" and other merch be different?

Hello, does anyone know if Pearl Jam are coming to England this year?  Thank you.

There’s nothing rumoured for Europe this year.

They sat on DM for over a year. I don’t expect new music until 27 or 28 no matter when it’s finished. They seem to be trying to stretch things out.

On the one hand, it's a shame that they won't be back in Europe until 2026 at the earliest, but it does increase the chance that they'll get away from the fixed, predictable Dark Matter blocks in their setlist. If they also sell their visuals by then, that would be a dream come true. Once again Pearl Jam in its purest and most unpredictable form. I'd even pay their outrageously expensive ticket prices in Europe again for that. Oh, I'd even round it up to 200 euros. Let's see how close I can get to my dream again.

I was kind of disappointed when Europe didn’t happen this year. But if they are having a year long rest, a European tour next year will be fantastic. I imagine they’ll turn up fully energised and raring to go!

Imagine having something so good and just not releasing it. Crazy yo!

Fake. It was on Reddit a couple days ago and people were giving date conflicts for several of these bands

2026 it is! I allways love when a band does a non-album tour...it usually mean better setlists. Hoping for Prague or a double date in Stockholm.

After seeing the first two shows, it would be a shame if this leg is the only tour for 2025 with how good the band sounds.

Have we heard anything about a possible Dark Matter Europe tour? Is South America first? So maybe Europe in the Fall? 

Anything? Anyone?
