Hubba just told me he heard on the radio (101.1 WRIF) that Pearl Jam will announce a major tour in January in support of their 25th anniversary and there will be a Detroit show. The tour they said is gonna hit pretty much all 50 states. No idea where they got their info from or what station it was, but oh boy - that would be awesome!
Now this is the way to celebrate 25 years!!!
It is a way to celebrate but I don't see it happening at this point in the band. They do not like to do long tours and haven't for about a decade now. I would call that a rumor for sure.

Oh yeah, everything is rumors at this point. But, if the rumored dates of the April/May tour are mostly true, that's 20-22 shows in just over a month. That's something they haven't done in a while. And there's no reason that they couldn't do another leg of 20-25 shows in the Midwest, West and some Canada shows after a break, where they play close to 50 North American shows this year to celebrate 25 years. Believe me, I hear ya about the shorter tours, but it's still totally possible for this band to go all out for year 25 and really make it special for us.

I really can't see this happening, but I hope I'm wrong.
Maybe they mean 50 states over the next 3 years

I'm guessing they mean shows in every region so everyone has a chance.
It's probably bad intel on the radio stations part anyways lol

The only thing we have evidence of is an East coast tour

It would be interesting to know if that radio station has just the same infos as us and is just blowing things up or if they have different info.

Saw U2 8 times there this year from multiple spots. Sound was awesome. Could just be a credit to their sound tech.

All the info is still surfacing from this thread. Radio stations are even picking it up. No rumors out of the South/East coast leg other than some wishiful Wrigley/fenway chatter. nothing from out west which leads to believe the tour announcement around the 1st of the year will just be the East Coast in April/May

I agree but it's interesting a dj in Detroit stated on air they're playing Detroit... that has not been rumored at all, except I do think someone posted they hear pj was playing Detroit about 50 pages ago...

I'm fine with Detroit Indy Pittsburgh etc, but if those all get a show, THERE BETTER BE A CLEVELAND SHOW

I wish i had an extra $10k to just blow on a tour... this would be the one

I played the lotto this weekend but only got one of six numbers

my2hands · December 2015

if this is the PJ25 tour... that means its not the lightning bolt tour... which means even more setlist variety? (where is D with those great mind blown gifs?)

I know a lot of people really like non-album tours because of the more varying array of songs...

i guess what i'm saying, simply, is that this is going to be a great fucking tour!

That makes a lot more sense now, coming from the WRIF. Was it you that mentioned hearing it on The River last week? Don't trust them one bit. Would they even play anything outside of Black or Last Kiss? 50 states, though? Not so sure about that one.

I've been saying from the get-go that this tour will be legendary if they do not need to support a new album.

If' that's the case, I'm thinking many white whales will be slaughtered!

I know we both agree on non-album tours... I love new music, but I LOVE having no clue what's coming... and this is an opportunity to go apeshit and just celebrate their entire catalog... who knows, they may even play Binaural on a random Thursday night

Don't want to get down on the Detroit rumor, because I'd love another hometown show, but found this on WRIF's website, with no mention of Detroit show. Here's to hoping the dj knows more.

Interesting. I always saw it as the band's anniversary, not the one of Ten. And seemingly they got their info from where we got it too. Oh well. I know my hubs heard it because he is a big fan too and was all excited

Like they did for 20 years? Oh wait that was 2 nights and a Canadian tour.

If they play 50 shows in North America in 2016 I will be shocked. Shocked I say.
