in The Porch
Since I am not originally from NH, I was unaware and recently discovered that PJ has never played here. I formally request a show in the Granite State and call dibs that they play at the Bank of NH Pavilion in Gilford. It's very similar to Alpine Valley imo and if the Foo Fighters can play here (2023) then PJ can too.

Let's do this! As an extra perk, pregame barbecue at my house (or Wishlist pre-party) and maybe, just maybe, an after show fire pit gathering :)

    I'm in! I've only been to New Hampshire once. Went shopping with a college girlfriend, couldn't believe all my stuff was tax-free lol.

    Looking at the tour map, the other states PJ hasn't played:


    Delaware
    West Virginia
    Mississippi
    Alaska


    May your days be long, til kingdom come.

    And PJ has played every continent except Africa and Antarctica. Ed did Global Citizens solo in South Africa a few years ago.

    As far as I know, Metallica is the only band to have played all 7 continents.

    A PJ show in NH would be awesome!
    That pavilion in Gilford, HN is a spectacular smaller venue.

    I think we’ve all been asking them to play a New England show not in Boston or Hartford for 20 years. I think at this point we would take Hartford.

    given how they prefer to tour, they probably believe New Hampshire is in reference to something in Europe.

    I love it and it’s literally right up the road from me.

    NH is by far my favorite state to visit I’ve got close friends there that makes it so special so damn right I’d love to see them do a two night stand there!

    Can you imagine the crush of people trying to get into Gilford, it'd be like Highgate '95 or Lollapalooza '93 (Quonset AFB).
    Which was 1/2 the fun, actually, getting there.

    I'd love to see them at the spot near Winnipesaukee, but may be too small for them w/ their recent tours? I feel like Providence would be a more realistic option w/ them playing Worcester and Hartford (they have a similar-sized venue)
    2003 Mansfield III 
    2004 Boston I 
    2006 Boston I 
    2008 Bonnaroo, Hartford, Mansfield I 
    2010 Hartford 
    2013 Worcester I, Worcester II, Hartford 
    2016 Bonnaroo, Fenway I, Fenway II 
    2018 Fenway I, Fenway II

    I thought it held closer to 12k, but max is 9k. I didn't realize Alpine Valley held 37k  :o
