    One thing about the Foo Fighters weekend rumors at Wrigley. I noticed in the Foo Fighters Fenway show, their stage shoots out in to the GA crowd on the field. In the Wrigley shows, it does not. It's shaped like a more traditional stage. Hmm, so why are the stages different from ballpark to ballpark?

    Which makes me wonder if it's because they are sharing or borrowing a stage for either the Fenway or Wrigley shows? Maybe that ss a sign some act is playing the day(s) before the FF shows at Wrigley?

    I think the US will have summer stadium shows and arena shows October/November time.
    Agreed.  Based off of the way the band does things lately and the cities that are due, here’s my prediction:

    cleveland, Columbus, pittsburgh, DC x2, Richmond, Raleigh make up, Charlotte, then over to Atlanta x2 and Nashville (both ATL and Nashville had scheduled shows cancelled due to Bonnaroo in 2016), down to NoLa for Voodoo fest (PJ at Voodoo is clockwork at this point)

    then a 2 week break and 2nd leg that mirrors 2013 west coast tour
    Cleveland, Columbus and Pittsburgh would be a dream come true! (Actually, it would. I had a dream last night that they were about to take the stage in Pittsburgh. I had another one where a three-city tour was Ottawa, NYC x2 and Columbus...so go figure.)

    However... the other guy mentioned Indianapolis as getting missed. Because Pittsburgh was on the last album tour, what if Indianapolis was in place of Pittsburgh??

    Columbus really has two good options... Nationwide Arena which is downtown and near a lot of bars and the Schottenstein Center which is at Ohio State's campus and not near anything really. While a Wishlist Foundation tailgate party would be fun, I'm not sure I see it happening.
    Columbus deserves a show. I was super impressed with the city and Nationwide Arena - great city to walk and great sounding venue.


    Columbus is an interesting case and not necessarily because I'm from there.

    Three times in the early 90s... two "college bars" aka tiny clubs/bars and another smaller venue. Nothing after that until 2000, partially due to the Ticketmaster situation. 2000 and 2003 were at a large outdoor shed-type venue.

    A few years later, that venue stopped booking acts and was torn down. Nothing after that until 2010. (Anyone with a sharp eye will notice that 2010 setlist had a lot of avocado and Backspacer songs on it.)

    I was hoping for 2013 or 2014 (keep the average shows per decade fairly consistent) but the area got Pittsburgh, Detroit and Cincinnati instead.
    The 2000 and 2003 /2010 shows were fun its is indifferent how  the gaps are 1992 newport music hall and two very small shows before then nothing till 2000 .I would love some  Columbus Ohio shows plus brad has a connection here.we do have the two big venue s plus the ohio state stadium

    Safeco Field. Two shows. August
    That seems to be the general consensus. We need some dates, though!

    I've been told first week of august. My source is a friend of a friend who knows Mike.

    Nice! Will there be other arena shows, or just the previously mentioned stadium shows? Thanks for info.

    Second week looks pretty good though. 11 days with no home games. Maybe the 10th and 12th?

    Nope looks pretty good too travel wise for the road crew I would imagine. I know people like the day off in between shows but I would love to see back to back nights for these to help save money on hotels and being away from the kids.  I doubt it will happen but we will see.

    To be fair more Jays fans have been making the trip south of the border that it sometimes feels like an away game for the Mariners when the Blue Jays are in town.

    First post on the forum and looking to go to my first show this year, been lurking this thread for a while... Does anybody know if there will be 2 Wrigley shows? And if so are we thinking friday the 17th and sunday the 19th or will they do saturday and monday (18th and 20th) like last time?  If they do only do stadium shows in the US this year, it sounds like Wrigley is my best bet so I'm trying to get prepared before the announcement.

    Welcome to the forums! There are very strong rumours of 3 different park shows this summer. No solid dates have really been thrown around but that weekend you mentioned is the best bet imo for Wrigley. Who knows what the dates will be though as it could be a number of combinations. Also I really doubt that the park shows are the only NA shows next year. I expecting a big west coast tour with some midwest mixed in. Hopefully now Euro has sold very well they will announce the dates in January and allow us to start planning our trips!

    Awesome, I appreciate the response. I would be stoked if they announced a few midwest arena dates, as it sounds like those will be the easiest for me to travel to. I have a place to stay in DC and potentially LA so I could justify the extra travel expenses to go to either of those if they're announced. Either way, I'm just excited to possibly get to see them and hoping I can draw some 10C tickets for whatever show(s) I decide to go to!

    So I guess it is official.  First year not seeing the band since 2003.  What a wild ride.

    Id guess the three main rumoured ballpark weekends are pretty sure things. Good soild rumour saying Fenway on Sept 1 weekend, leaving Aug 18 only possible weekend for Wrigley. And the only viable Safeco option other than those is the Aug 11 weekend. 

    If PJ is playing those parks this summer,  these dates look like pretty sure things.

    Merry Christmas! one week til 2018 and a Pearl Jam filled year!
