I keep hearing rumors about a 2011 tour. This was confirmed by a very reputable friend...I heard it again tonight regarding a specific stop in my home town of Saskatoon. This person works in the beverage industry and deals with the arenas...I guess the tour will be in September...And Toon town will be around Keith Urban's show in September which makes it like Sept. 17th or 19th...ish... So excited. I'm going to try and attend Vancouver, Calgary, Edmonton, Saskatoon and Winnipeg... (rumor has it that it will be like the 2005 Canada tour). If this is old news I'm sorry.. Just super excited to see my favorite band again...Last show was Vancouver and Calgary 2 a in 2009...Can't freakin wait...Hope to see you all around. PEARL JAM is the greatest...VIVA PEARL JAM.

Here's all the other speculation Beer Baron mentioned:

Not to deflate your ballon, as I'm happy for you guys... but this is getting more and more frustrating for those of us in the south USA... I see no reason why I should continue to be punished for moving from Toronto to Houston in order to find a job and make a living...
Houston has a larger population than Vancouver, Calgary, Edmonton, Saskatoon, and Winnipeg put together, and now PJ will tour through there twice since the last time they played here...
no matter what way you slice it, this is just plain unfair.

Enjoy your shows. Hopefully I'll make it to Toronto/MTL.... I can't believe I'm going to spend money to fly again this year just to take in a few shows....
This is the third time in 20 years they've played Edmonton, the fourth for Calgary (a city only like 6 hrs from their home), and the second for Saskatoon....I agree they've prob neglected the South long enough (tho there WERE shows within driving distance for you in 08 - I happily flew to a couple of them), but man..... you used to live in a place where you had a chance to see them pretty much yearly...its not like you are alone in having to travel to see them once in a while.

Saskatoon was awesome! Hopefully you are right!! If those are the dates you are thinking, I'm wondering if they do Calgary and then Edmonton opposed to Edmonton then Calgary? Not that it really matters

This is not true at all, especially if you live in Texas. The closest show in 08 was Bonnarroo and that is a 14 hour drive from Houston and a 16 hour drive from San Antonio according to google maps. Not exactly driving distances. The only shows Texans have really had within a reasonable driving distance since 03 are the 09 EV Memphis show ( 8 hours from dallas, at least 10 hours from houston, even further from san antonio) ---not really sure that this shold even be considered "reasonable" -- and the Austin City Limits festival in 09.
Yeah, this is getting old really fast. I've had to travel for every Pearl Jam show I've been to and it just isn't worth it anymore. Not when there are so many other great bands playing here...

I'm hoping they go opposite direction. Often shows are better at the end of a leg than at the beggining and all of the shows I've been to since 2003 have been within the first 5 of a leg (2nd, 4th, 5th, 1st, 1st, 2nd). It would be nice to be in the final 5 for once and maybe get 150 minute (or more) show.

Haven't heard anything yet. :( Lots of rumors though on many MANY show's/dates happening west of Montreal this fall. Now if only someone from the Atlantic can start up a rumor PJ that they will be coming all will be well with the world ...
3 shows in a 2 hour radius isn't that bad. Not to mention Buffalo, Ottawa and Montreal within reach.
My point is simply that Western Canadians are def not favoured over the south, and overall, there have probably been less shows here than there....so to hear complaining from a former resident of Toronto, a city that would somehow land a show if PJ toured Siberia, seemed a lil funny to me....not tryin to be a dick, cause I can relate.
And ya Beer Baron - Saskatoon is prob a good bet for good seats...think I mentioned in the other thread that I got row 2 with a 187 number last tour....but don't tell anyone or we might get pushed back
yes.
Man. I live in Saskatoon bro. I have to drive at least 17 hours usually to see them. I get your frustration...Besides 2005's tour Calgary is the closest (Edmonton) I've had and that's 6 hours. I get it. I'm just happy to have a chance to see them and will be driving to Van.
It will be the same as 2005. Lot's of dates out EAST.

If you dont have a passport just walk or paddle over somewhere along our 3000 mile generally undefended boarder. (undefended coming in - not going out).
just save some tickets for me and all will be good
