    I'm thinking the lack of other leaks means there's not much else out there.  This day an age, you almost always hear about something before it happens.  Safeco, Wrigley, Fenway, and Philly (was that rumor solid?)

    Yeah. It just feels odd that after big South America and Europe tours, that they would only touch America so lightly. Hopefully there's more. The west coast is seriously overdue for a tour.

    I agree. I thought after nothing last year that this year would be big in the states. Still a possibility I guess of an arena tour but I also feel like some rumors would have leaked by now.

    Really hoping tomorrow is the day they drop the tour announcement. Anyone remember roughly the time of day this happens. I am on night shift tonight and do not want to miss the hysteria.

    In 2016 there was a spring tour of arenas and then the ballpark shows followed up in August. It's possible this time around they are going to announce a few ballpark shows in August and then follow that up with a fall tour of arenas. Maybe supporting a new album?

    My gut is telling me that we are only getting the arena shows this year. I really think they will then head into the studio to finish up a new album for 2018 and then a regular arena tour. But there is still hope for fall US arena dates. Stadium announcements (and therefore stadium rumors) always come out earlier. There is still time for them to book fall arena dates, and then the rumors will start. I’m hopeful, but not expecting it. 

    As for the Philly concert, that rumor coming out so soon after people were on here were talking about making up something false to feed alternativenation has me a little worried. As soon as people started talking about putting fake rumors in here, I wondered if any more rumors could be taken seriously. That’s my birthday weekend, so I’m really hoping that  one works out.

    Just pure speculation. But I'm starting to wonder if it will be just the ballpark shows. Then maybe they go in and finish the new album off, and a huge North America tour could happen in 2019 to coincide with the album release?

    Hoping for a few shows other than the ballparks but I don’t think it’s happening this year.  Hoping to get out to Seattle or somewhere I’ve never been... will be bringing my 11 year old daughter for her first shows!!!
    I'm like an opening band for your mom.

    I'm am 100% OK with that! We need new music and I would love 2019 Tour covers every region of the U.S. Somewhere around 40 Shows hitting all major US Cities in Most States. That would be Awesome! Save a lot of money/time/traveling.

    For the sake of variety and a new venue, I would be happy to see them in Philly for a ballpark show.  If that doesn’t happen then Fenway would be a nice fallback option.  Had a great time there in 2016.

    Please no more ballpark shows!  My opinion of course but the baseball obsession is becoming cliche.  I'm cool with Wrigley every once in a while but this notion of every major MLB market getting that touring experience is gimmicky.  Nothing beats PJ in an acoustically friendly arena.

    Unfortunately, I think we're stuck with ballparks and festivals in non-album years/tours.  It's a sucky trend.

    they've played five shows in major league ball parks out of approx 1000 shows...how exactly is that cliche when compared to playing msg 10x in their career?

    MSG is just a popular tour stop.  I can't recall the band specifically going out of their way to create an isolated "destination experience" there.

    Fenway and Wrigley are the two most historic ballparks in the country. Seattle is their home market. Philadelphia is one of their favorite places to play. There is no indication that any other ballparks are on the schedule. Hardly a cliche.
