Jazzfest cannot pay the fee for Pearl Jam anymore. If they go back out next year I expect fall dates around Ohana. Maybe ACL in Austin. I do believe that the band likes going to Europe in the summer with their families, but the poor ticket sales might keep them away. And I hate Metallica most overrated band of all time.
I’m not disagreeing with you, or putting PJ in the same category as the stones or Bruce. But if JF can afford Foo Fighters, is PJ that much more?
Yes. I think PJ costs more than Foo Fighters for a festival. I have no facts to back that up just my intuition. Dave is willing to play longer tours and different venues than Pearl Jam. Foo FIghters seem to be the headliner often. Pure speculation though. It also seems like Pearl Jam does not play the south anymore.
Didn’t they just do 4 shows in Texas last year? 🤔
Texas is not really the south to me, Texas is its own country .
I’d be pretty surprised if they did Europe two years in a row.
In general I’d bet on a fairly light year in 2025, which is why something like the Sphere makes sense to me.
I get your point, but they barely played in Europe this year.
Yeah it wasn’t really a European tour. It was a small tour anyway but even smaller with the cancelled shows (which happened to be in their two largest European markets of UK and Germany). A tour with 1 Irish, 1 UK, 3 Spanish and 1 Portuguese date isn’t standard for any band.
If they had done the tour in full then yes I would have thought 2025 would be unlikely. But to have just done the dates they did with no shows in London, Germany, Holland, Italy etc is not the norm given the bands touring history.

It cost them money to put together this production.

Hopefully we will find out soon though!
I think Europe will definitely get shows next year. Hoping for more than just the uk and Germany. Would like to see them somewhere different. Prague and Italy would be great
I see 10-12 Sphere shows in the above rumors…. Is there anything legit about that many shows? I could see them doing 3-4 there max which would be cool I think. 10-12 seems like too many for these guys in Vegas, but what to I know.
also if they play Hartford we’d probably get another Boston show. Hopefully TD Garden this time… Fingers crossed
My overall thoughts though is I’m hopeful for a big tour but I think more likely it will be SA and a handful of NA dates. Canada and few US shows (hopefully the south that isn’t Texas, I feel for you guys and gals).

SA, Europe, Canada, and US seems wayyyyy too much for this band especially after this tour. But let’s try….

Considering that this was by far their biggest tour since ‘16, I would be surprised if next year was another heavy touring year. I’m thinking something like South America in the spring, a small European tour in the summer to make up for what happened this year, and then a smattering of North American shows in the fall (maybe Atlantic Canada and the Southeastern US). I’d be surprised if they played more than 10-12 shows in North America next year (unless they do a Sphere residency).
I see 10-12 Sphere shows in the above rumors…. Is there anything legit about that many shows? I could see them doing 3-4 there max which would be cool I think. 10-12 seems like too many for these guys in Vegas, but what to I know.
also if they play Hartford we’d probably get another Boston show. Hopefully TD Garden this time… Fingers crossed
My overall thoughts though is I’m hopeful for a big tour but I think more likely it will be SA and a handful of NA dates. Canada and few US shows (hopefully the south that isn’t Texas, I feel for you guys and gals).
I believe that number stems from info that Sphere requires artists to perform a minimum number of shows well above 3-4.
My proposal definitely isn’t realistic but if we have SA/Mexico rumors, Seattle rumors, a Pittsburgh like, making up Europe….theres a lot going on there

I didn’t realize there was a set minimum. Still think 10 is a lot in one place haha.

They are still on tour. History seems to suggest they take a break when this one is done. The Dark Matter tour is one of longest they have done in recent years. I do not expect much in 2025. I hope I am wrong as they may want to take advantage of the new production they created. I would not be surprised if there was an EV solo tour with expensive tickets. Pure speculation as you never know with this band.
It's one of the longest in recent years because of the mess that was 2017-2021.
2017 was what, the Rock Hall induction and not much else. No USA shows that year, but one USA "appearance" as it was put.
2018 was South America, Europe and what was supposed to be a new album. There's no doubt in my mind the 2018 USA tour would have looked a hell of a lot different.
I have zero inside information here, but I have a strong feeling that Gigaton did not get delayed by a year and a half. The 2018 album would have had different songs on it, had a different name, different artwork, etc.
2019 was obviously the year off to work on Gigaton. Had the 2018 album happened, then shows in 2019 would have happened.
2020 is where my "alternative universe situation" gets murky. Let's say the 2018 album happened AND COVID didn't shut the entire world down. They undoubtedly do some shows in 2020..maybe South America? Australia? Europe again? Remember...they were touring Europe every other year with Eddie doing solo shows there the other years.
2021...then what?
2018 album...no album release in 2020, so do we get the "2018 album follow up" in 2022 or 2023?
The original plans for 2020, we basically know. The spring USA tour was announced and was just days from happening when Pearl Jam was one of the first to postpone stuff. European dates were announced. A fall USA tour was 99% going to be announced.
Prior to Gigaton, the last album was obviously Lightning Bolt. They did a fair number of shows around the world from 2013-2016.
Of course, it's also equally possible that by sitting around from the time between Fenway 2018 to March 2020, they were able to recharge and we all got a few extra years...

Man they kicked ass this tour. can't wait for more... not sure when they'll be back in FL but I hit 8 shows in the last 3 years and traveled for every one. Will sit out next year unless they are coming down here.. FL gets a show or two once every 8 years or so, maybe it'll happen again soon..
How far in advance did they announce their European tour dates last year?
With the rest of the tour this year.
Usually it’s early December
Thank you, I wasn’t paying attention to tour dates last year. We are going to Europe next summer for my wife’s 50th birthday and would love to see Pearl Jam in Europe. We had tickets to Vienna and Prague a few years ago when they canceled. We have our Oasis tickets, Pearl Jam would be an added bonus!

We are going to Cardiff for the July 4th show, and then spend a week in Italy. I’m a teacher, so we could make a Pearl Jam show work before or after our Oasis show.

It's one of the longest in recent years because of the mess that was 2017-2021.
2017 was what, the Rock Hall induction and not much else. No USA shows that year, but one USA "appearance" as it was put.
2018 was South America, Europe and what was supposed to be a new album. There's no doubt in my mind the 2018 USA tour would have looked a hell of a lot different.
I have zero inside information here, but I have a strong feeling that Gigaton did not get delayed by a year and a half. The 2018 album would have had different songs on it, had a different name, different artwork, etc.
2019 was obviously the year off to work on Gigaton. Had the 2018 album happened, then shows in 2019 would have happened.
2020 is where my "alternative universe situation" gets murky. Let's say the 2018 album happened AND COVID didn't shut the entire world down. They undoubtedly do some shows in 2020..maybe South America? Australia? Europe again? Remember...they were touring Europe every other year with Eddie doing solo shows there the other years.
2021...then what?
2018 album...no album release in 2020, so do we get the "2018 album follow up" in 2022 or 2023?
The original plans for 2020, we basically know. The spring USA tour was announced and was just days from happening when Pearl Jam was one of the first to postpone stuff. European dates were announced. A fall USA tour was 99% going to be announced.
Prior to Gigaton, the last album was obviously Lightning Bolt. They did a fair number of shows around the world from 2013-2016.
Of course, it's also equally possible that by sitting around from the time between Fenway 2018 to March 2020, they were able to recharge and we all got a few extra years...
