Unfortunately this will never happen though (sorry to spoil the dream)!
Id be happy if they keep doing what they are doing.
the days of doing 25 leg European tours appear over, in favour of bigger venues and less time on the road.
I would think they'll return in what 2 years or so? and would certainly expect Leeds to be back on the agenda with a few nights.
Wouldn't it be awesome to get a 4 night run there like Philly in 2009
Unfortunately I can't see a Scotland or Ireland show being booked again
2006 Jools Holland, London / Reading festival
2007 Wmbly London
2009 SBE London / O2 London
2012 MEN 1/ MEN 2 / Berlin 1 / Berlin 2 / EV LDN 1 / EV LDN 2
2013 NY 1/ NY 2 / Philly 1 / Philly 2

2017 EV LDN 1 / EV LDN 2
2018 LDN 1 / BCN / LDN 2
2022 LDN 1 / LDN 2
Figure it might be only one with a double nighter but heres to hoping for both......
'Full' tours are long gone, 12-13 dates in a 3 week run is how Pearl Jam will tour in the future (and have done since 2008). And to be honest that suits me just fine.

MK put a lot of casual fans off, for being a venue generally frowned upon, being so hard to get to and back from without a car, and for the ticket prices.
This is a band that normally sells out arenas in the Uk extremely quickly, I recall the 02 was sold out in a record at the time of 9 minutes. Pretty solid demand.
lets not judge that on the back of an outdoors show that was received as a mini festival type thing.
There is now way they were ever going to sell out MK which is why I got a ticket a day before for half price. (hohoho)
Leeds would have sold out two nights as i'd say 30/50% would buy tickets for both nights.
It only holds 13,500 anyway.
two arena shows somewhere in the UK will be the standard from now on. Probably one London and one elsewhere

Manchester and Leeds, in particular, have better venues already being used by the band.
I would be happy with one O2 in London gig and another at Leeds.
There's unlikely to be a bigger tour unless it's a farewell one and nobody wants that.

I heard from a friend of mine in the business that Liverpool & Glasgow were both on the list to be played this tour until someone talked them into Milton Keynes.
So maybe next time.

I hope it happens, purely for the possibility of one or two shows elsewhere... I'm desperate for another fix after MK.
Now I'm over near the bandstand, every hand moving on John Finn's wife...
Realistically I see 2 in Leeds and pretty much the same as this tour. Though I could see a wee festival tour plus a couple of arenas next year if we're lucky.
Latest story - Declan at Slipknot is up on the website now at www.giventolive.com along with Kayleigh at Foo Fighters, Tony at Stereophonics and more.
Inspired by Pearl Jam, making live music dreams come true.
In fact, I don't want them to play any festivals. Not enough songs.

Would rather they keep things indoor
Remember watching Bruce at Old Trafford and whilst it was an amazing gig, the sound at times was sketchy - is the problem with the majority of outdoor venues.
