    I hate to be that person, but I don’t really want to go through 62 pages… are there any actual rumors or just speculation?

    Toronto in May seems to be very solid.

    Other than that? It definitely seems to be moreso towards the speculation side... South America was a thing, then it appeared not to be...now is it again?
    May is too early for that silly new 'Rogers Stadium' in Toronto, so that makes me happy.
    It might be too early for Bud Stage, too, which makes me happy. Pearl Jam and SBA go together like a hand in a glove.

    The New Orleans - Mardi Gras - Jazz & Heritage Festival - PJ35 special celebration combo kind of makes sense :pensive: Unless they want to celebrate this milestone where it all started :wink:
    Now we're talkin!  I'm honestly confused as to why there isn't more talk about the potential PJ35 celebration.  Unless are we all assuming that every show in 2025 will be a special PJ35 celebration?  I was considering that they may only do one special PJ35 show, but the more the better!

    Ed did mention something special possible for year 35.  I wonder if it would be a special PJ35 Benaroya Hall show?  That would be incredible.

    Some good info being thrown out there on the Ohana weekend replay post on the Pearl Jam ten club members FB page.  Looks like NA shows in new cities and no residency seems like the most likely scenario for at least the beginning of next year.  

    This thread?

    So, no PJ25, no PJ30 (of course, CORONA, you know), and now PJ35.... I don't think so.

    Wouldn't PJ35 technically be in 2026 and not 2025? PJ20 was at Alpine Valley and the documentary were both in 2011.

    based on that rumor a few weeks back (can't remember where it was posted) that the band has an open invite to Ohana every year I feel like that would be the PJ35 celebration if anything. do Friday/Sunday again, play a few deep cuts like they just did with Whale Song/Gremmie and have the setlist not be a traditional festival set + have a few special guests pop out.

    I don't agree with this logic.  Of course no PJ25 or PJ30, that's because it's too frequent, and also there was no PJ10 and PJ15.
    There was a PJ20, so logically you can apply a 20 year window, which would take us to PJ40.
    But, the band has renewed energy, and is sounding better than ever as they enter year 35.
    So, given their current energy, and new amazing album, then why not push it to PJ35?

    For those that are anti-PJ35, or pessimistic, or whatever, then what do you think/hope that "something special for year 35" could be?

    I always thought that PJ20 in 2011 was based off when TEN was released in 1991 and not their first show in 1990. But Ed was wearing the 34 jersey for pretty much every show this tour, so 2025 would be the 35th.

    If 1991 was the first year, 2011 was the 21st year.

    In order to verify that my PJ35 logic made sense for 2025, I researched PJ20 and found that the documentary was filmed in 2010, and so I figured that they considered 1990 the birth year of the band.  PJ20 was then released in 2011, and they kept the name PJ20 for the 2011 tour as well, likely to tie in to the documentary.

    Optimism fully engaged for a PJ35 show.

    And a show or two in Atlantic Canada.

    Well they can dually celebrate the anniversaries of both the birth of the band AND the album Ten.
    If I was on stage with these legends, I'd rock a 31 jersey to show VS my love :heart:

    I believe since Ohana is coordinated/organized by Eddie, it'll be a cold day in hell when Eddie and/or Pearl Jam don't show up to play. Some years might be solo EV...maybe some years Eddie with a band.

    Regarding timelines:
    The 20th anniversary of the first show was when they did Bridge School in 2010. It was, of course, exactly 10 years after the Las Vegas show, seven years after Benny and just a few years before Denver and Philly, amirite?

    The festival was moreso "20 years of the Ten album."

    I thought they celebrated the 10 year anniversary of the band at Vegas 2000 by playing Chloe/Crown for the first time….

    I love it.  And I'm on board for sure, as I live close to Vegas.  But there's a surprising number of people who oppose the idea.  I'm very interested to see what kind of visuals that they come up with.

    They played Crown.

    I really want to say they played Chloe at later shows, but Chloe/Crown together didn't happen until...I'm not checking notes here... Toronto 9/11/2011.

    I've thought about how, if this continues to be the case, it creates this weird little blackout period in their schedule every year

    I'll use me as an example.
    Back in the annual single days:

    Year 1 Feb = I pay 10C renewal dues.
    Year 1 Dec = I'm eligible for that year's single.
    Year 2 Feb = I pay 10C renewal dues.
    Year 2 TBD = I get the single for year 1.
    Year 2 Dec = I'm eligible for that year's single.
    Year 3 Feb = I pay 10C renewal dues.
    Year 3 TBD = I get the single for year.

    The first year they did Analog/Digital...I actually got that one a month after Christmas of the advertised year.

    Then there was that shitshow that was the 2015 one coming so late that it said 2017 on it when it was supposed to be arriving in 2016. (Alive with Dave Krusen.)

    There was a time when the cutoff date was usually around Aug/Sep. Anyone who renewed AFTER wouldn't be eligible until the next year's single...which would come in the third year. (Example: Someone paid in October 2006 to be eligible for the 2007 single, which would come in the middle of 2008.)

    That confused too many people.

    Eventually, it was changed to "Anyone who paid between Jan 1 and Dec 31 got that year's single." Of course the extra stuff (shirt, stickers, etc) they'd get when they renewed.

    If they knew the mess THAT was gonna create...they might have released something closer to their first show.

    Your logic is correct, except PJ20 was really PJ21.  Ed wore a #34 shirt throughout 2024.
