Austin City Limits confirmed... more dates?

ACL and Lolla are run by the same comapny. I bet the rules are pretty much the same. My guess is PJ would get the Saturday night slot and get at least 2 hours, about the same as Lollapalooza 2007, which was a great show.

If they play other Texas dates, my travel this year will probably stick to Texas dates, although a goal of mine is to see them on the West Coast somewhere.

I passed on Lolla b/c I thought it would be too constrictive (length of show) and a big cluster F***. After listening to the boot a half dozen times, I don't really regret not going to Lolla. I rolled the dice on the Roo and it paid off. I think the Roo was the festival to see PJ at. I don't think ACL is worth going to see PJ solely. However, if you are looking to check out other bands, it should be a good time.

yeah, I agree. I'm glad I didn't pay the money to go to Lolla, but after seeing them kick so much ass last year at Roo, I don't see how it's possible for them to go back to another festival and play just the hits

Are you ou on Spring Break? You are pretty active this morning.

But I could see them playing the hits at ACL. I think Roo was the exception, not the rule.

It was still fun though and not really a cluster fuck. Getting around Chicago was pretty easy. Plus I got into the Vic so Lollas was just icing on the cake.

ACL will be worth going to for me because Austin is a great city and PJ never plays Texas anymore. So any chance to see them within 300 miles of Dallas and I am there.

PJBuckeye

I was more speaking of Lolla itself, not Chicago. It seems to be too crowded.

Yeah, it was crowded for sure. And hot.

austin, texas in early october, good news for texans! i would think perhaps other southern/west coast shows surrounding it....and would LOVE if this translated into a couple of northeast shows in november or december! the timing couldn't be any more perfect! only have to keep my fingers crossed that tix either go on sale early - as in before august - or after september 15th. unless they are REALLY nice and hold the ticket sales on weekends when 10clubbers can actually manage it better. i usually call in sick to try for tix :oops: ...i have computer access all day at work but i have zero control of my workload or when it comes, sooo it's too risky to try at work.


i was reading in some other thread someone's personal hypothesis of shows, and part of it was suggesting oz in november or december of 2010. again, i would LOVE that! i keep saying how much i want to see pj in oz, and i DO...and was thinking if they head there in january or february 2010 that we'd go, but i just don't think it's feasible. late 2010 i think i could swing it, or january 2011! :P haha.


anyhoooooooo...i just so love the swirls of tour rumors!

Of course... the real question is... if they are touring in late Sept/Oct in the US, when does that get announced.

If its announced soon they are playing ACL, then I'm wondering how long between that announcement and the rest of a tour.

When does the ACL lineup officially get announced normally?

Last year ACL was announced mid April. The year before that it was the first week of May. Tickets go on sale April 7.

Maybe you're right, maybe Roo was the exception- private farm- seemed like anything goes. Completely different from Lolla and I'm assuming ACL

oh wow! I thought we were going to have to wait until May for the ACL line-up. Well, if they follow last year, the festival will be announced and then about two weeks later (early May) PJ will announce the tour

Don't rub it in. I'm working 15 hour days, 6 days a week.

RiotAct10

I am not sure if it works the same for ACL, or how far the area usually is, but with Lolla I am pretty sure if you sign up to play it, as part of the contract you promise not play any other shows in the region within a certain time frame, so how many other Texas shows they could play, I am not sure of.

As someone who lives in the Midwest, I am not sure if I am counting on seeing PJ this year. After playing the East/ Southeast last year, and with ACL looking like it would happen (and maybe Bridge too?), I wouldn't be surprised if this year's tour was more of a western part of the country type thing. I guess we will have to wait and see.

Yeah, I'm seeing a more Western sort of thing too- along with Bridge.

Yeah, I keep hearing this, and then I keep hearing that it isn't true. I don't think I have heard a definitive answer though.

mfc2006

well, i emailed the 10c today just to see if they could shed any light on the ACL rumors. (worth a try, right? )

they wrote me back saying that "nothing can be confirmed at this time". we'll know soon enough if the announcement is indeed coming on 4/15. just thought i'd share!

But they just happened to know that the ACL announcement is on April 15th?

mfc2006

no--they didn't mention the 4/15 announcement---i did b/c that's what someone said earlier. early tix go on sale 4/7, and last years announcement was mid-April. i thin we'll know for sure by mid-May. just my opinion, though. i'm going either way!

BeerBaron

I think it is safe to say that an ACL announcement will come before the rest of the dates, much like Roo last year.

Nah, I'm salary just like the teachers. No xtra coin coming my way.

I don't know if travel is in my budget, but you and Atlanta Jammer have a place to stay if there's an Alpine date.

Great minds think alike!

If the suggestions that any ACL headliner can't play a show within a certain radius of Austin, it will be interesting to see if PJ will try to plan a tour of the south without including a regular show in the state of Texas.

Yeah, I would like to see confirmation of that rule.

Anyway, I am there if it happens. My wife's best friend lives in Bastrop, which is just outside of Austin so I have the hookup!

Last year I contemplated renting a house and splitting it with a bunch of people. Cheaper than a hotel.
