The Official 2025 Tour Rumor Thread

I think the US is in for a couple years that look like 2011/12. Maybe a couple one offs or festivals but I doubt US gets another leg until a new record is out, unless it’s a Lightning Bolt-Gigaton timeframe until the next release.
By PJs standards they’ve toured the shit out of America since Covid.

I think South America, Europe and maybe Canada get shows before the States do. I do think PJ is off the road until at least Sept 2026 though. Hoping it’s not a full 24 months until the next tour.
- South America was rumoured a couple times and didn’t happen so I could see 2026 looking like 2015; one leg only in SA. PJ seems to play there either in March or November. Either time frame makes sense for 2026.
- Next EU/UK tour I’m guessing is a combo of London, Amsterdam, Berlin, Vienna, Prague and maybe somewhere in Italy, and Rock Werchter if they tour in the usual Jun/Jul time frame. PJ seemed to make good on the US cities that got cancelled the past few years (Raleigh, Baltimore, Sacramento, Vegas) so I could see them doing the same overseas.
- being from Winnipeg, one more 8-12 date Canadian run is my biggest-want, but it might be tricky with the current two-show-per-city format. Toronto, Montreal, and I guess Vancouver can do two shows but what happens in the middle of Canada? Would both Calgary and Edmonton get shows, or one city gets two nights? Would they do single nights with a night off between Calgary, Edmonton, Winnipeg and Saskatoon? The last two years they’ve only done six or seven cities and eleven or twelve shows per leg so it’s tough to piece a Canadian-only together with the current format. Maybe Toronto and Montreal just get shows with some US cities (Detroit? Somewhere in Ohio?) next time they’re playing that region.

The gods know I don't tend to agree with you often, but I think your predictions are right on here.

This is far too much for where they are now. They are not going to do a 20-25 shows tour a year. No way. And not without a new album. We're much likelier to see more of what we just experienced: 10 shows tops over 5-6 cities.

They played 37 shows just last year.

And 48 shows over 54 weeks.

That was, as Ed said, the Dark Matter era.
And it's over.

And the next era is going to consist exclusively of short tours? You’re speaking with a lot of certainty. Why would 20 shows in a year be far too much when they just did 48?

Maybe you know something we don’t, but I don’t see anything concrete to indicate there’s “no way” 20–25 shows get played in a year again.

I'm not in the know, but I have been listening to what they have been saying. Jeff has made his view of touring known and Stone was the one who spoke of short legs.

And I'm ok with that. I'm grateful they are still together, making fantastic records and touring. We have been very lucky. I'll be happy with any US shows. But the days of extensive tours are over.

Jeff has been complaining about touring for years. That’s not anything new. Also… the days of extensive touring were over in like 2006.

Shorter tours means the band will keep touring longer. If they do a couple more extensive tours then that might just be it for PJ. I do hope when they hang it up they go out on a high.

I'm personally hoping to go to PJ shows when I'm 80. I'll bring my walker and dementia meds if need be!

I don't think I'll get that luxury. If I'm 80, most of the band has eclipsed 90 :(

If I'm 80 the band is 80... so all good

Same. But hey, Dick VanDyke is 100, so there's hope!

If I'm 80, the band is older than Dick Van Dyke currently is (or really fucking close)
