I wouldn't be surprised to see a 2017 European tour that almost mirrors the tour that almost happened this year.

Anyone cares to share the supposedly 2016 dates?

Amsterdam (x2), Pink Pop, Paris, London (x2), Rome, Bologna, Milan, Prague, Belgium, Switzerland, Barcelone, Lisbon.

I hope they add Stockholm, Copenhagen (http://www.arenacphx.dk/en/Pages/default.aspx), Helsinki, Berlin, Glasgow and Dublin to the list

I believe it was Berlin, not Belgium.

Not on the list that I saw. It was a festival in Belgium. I believe Switzerland was also a festival.

I really hope that they return to Europe next year! My 5 months old daughter didn't allow me to see them this year but she is fine with summer 2017!

And Jan confirmed that they were slated to play Europe 2016 prior to the Paris terror attacks.

It bugs me how they say they "cancelled" their tour. The tour never got announced. If they were able to back out of it that easily that I imagine contract never got signed. It seems they walked away from it in the planning stages. Not exactly cancelling. Cancelling is bailing on shows that have already been announced and the tickets have been sold. I'm sure bands try to plan tours all the time, and then go a different direction. That's not cancelling.

If the tour was cancelled or not is a matter of semantics. Allegedly, tickets were sold within Live Nation to employees in Holland, and Rock Wercther was obviously missing a headliner act in their presentation of the program. It took them months to get another headlining act, and I'm pretty sure that if you ask the venues that they should had played at, the tour was cancelled last minute.

That said, the Pinkpop dude is way out of line confirming a 2017 show, when nothing has come from PJ themselves. It might be some sort of tradeoff for the – cancelled – appearance this year, but it might as well be a pre-ticket sale salespitch, with no actual barring. And now PJ will look even worse if they don’t show up at Pinkpop, “cancelling” two years in row.

Here's an idea: Why don't you contact these venues and actually ask instead of spreading allegations? (you yourself used the word allegedly). You seem so sure if it, why don't you actually find out instead of contributing to misinformation?

It was booked. Rock in Roma leaked Pearl Jam and Iron Maiden as headliners three days before they

Everything i wrote, as you so kindly point out, is grammatically perfectly balanced. I wrote exactly what I should, to point out the level of knowledge available.
Now, the venues (if any kind of professional and with hopes of a later PJ booking) would never spill the beans. Nor would I be the first to ask. Pinkpop apperantly being an exception to the rule.
Ironically, if I somehow found other sources than the Pinkpop dudes saying so, the Italien slip, the guy who said he - allegedly as I never saw them - bought staff tickets within Line Nation to the a Amsterdam show, that a tour was cancelled, you'd be the one spreading misinformation.
So... Think again?

I hope they only play in countries that have progressive laws for the LGBT community.
