2018 Tour Rumour Thread

HughFreakingDillon said:

people need to realize this band is not going to be doing anymore extensive touring cycles without a new album behind them. with the next one nowhere near the horizon (late 18, early 19 perhaps), I bet these are the only dates in the US this year. Maybe Ed will do a few dates somewhere warm, but that's about it as far as I'm concerned. 

It ain't 2011 anymore, folks!

Possibility always exists but there has been no real buzz about more dates yet. I think it's dependent on whether or not there is a new album coming.

You would think that because they out on the road, paying all that staff to be out there with them. They would fill in the gaps with a few amphitheater/arena shows. But after his answer, I am not so sure. 

I don't expect any more dates between Seattle and Boston. I do wonder if there will be an arena run later in the fall. We'll see.

What are the rumoured dates for all these shows again?

Been a few days but I vaguely remember gaps.

Seattle, WA on August 8th and 10th, Washington-Grizzly Stadium in Missoula, MT on August 13th, Wrigley Field in Chicago (the home of Eddie Vedder‘s beloved Chicago Cubs) on August 18th and 20th, and at Boston’s Fenway Park on September 2nd and 4th.

Can't believe they are doing nothing for the nearly 2 weeks between Chicago and Fenway. I guess maybe give the crew time to go home for a week.

It was two weeks between Wrigley and Fenway in 2016, too. 8/5 and 8/7 in Boston, 8/20 and 8/22 in Chicago.

Interesting.

Sounds like an expensive way to tour.
 
Still have a little hope. Because they may want to sell these giant venues before they announce smaller ones. I have seen big bands do that in the past.

that's kind of a shitty thing to do to your fans though, don't you think? with so many fans of this band that travel if they believe it is the only option that year, then to turn around and announce a bigger tour, that kind of stinks. has PJ done that before with the wrigley shows? I'm not much of a tour stats Rain Main like some here are.

In 2013 they announced London, ON and Wrigley in Jan/Feb and then before those shows happened in July announced the new album and Fall tour. But there were months in between and they were announcing additional shows later, not new shows in between. In 2016 they announced the spring arena tour and Fenway/Wrigley at the same time.

Maybe they do this on purpose so other people (like locals) get a chance to see them?

the nutjobs that follow this band just say "fuck it" and go to all of them anyway.

In 2013, I think they had a line in the Wrigley announcement that more North American shows would be forthcoming.

And there it is. We'll see if the "away shows" announcement includes similar language.
