    Wasn’t this the expectation for the last month or so?  EV solo tour in summer and then typical PJ fall tour?  
    Everything hinges on the album and that is looking further behind then expected. Also what is a typical fall tour? If anything fall tours are done since the last one was almost 5 years ago and was said to be the last.  I am really hoping for a miracle and an album released this summer with a late summer tour and another leg with a late fall tour. 
    Based on Dimitri's post implying nothing before June and no Europe this summer for PJ, I guess I'm expecting a Pearl Jam tour in the US sometime August - October.  If they do an album I'm thinking it could be bigger.  If they can't finish the album than it might similar to 2008/2010/2014 US tour length.  I would be surprised if they don't tour in 2019, and the album will decide what size the tour is. 
    I hope you are right. I just hate how there are no whispers of anything just like 2017 was besides what Leaf said which is dependant on the new album. Also if there is another EV tour in Europe and nothing with Pearl Jam again this year then there is a good chance that in the last 3 years we will have more EV shows than Pearl Jam shows which is pretty shocking especially since he has almost zero new music.

    Also if there is an EV tour in Europe I hope they communicate that is all for the year or there is more to come. I know they will not but it would make a lot of peoples lives a lot easier planning wise if they at least gave us a wink.

    If we don't see PJ tour in 2019 than they really have hit semi-retirement.  I always assumed rather than doing huge 80 date world tours every three years and then taking two year breaks that they would just tour 20 dates a year.  But if they take 2017 off and 2019 off, then they really can't really have any less activity.

    An EV tour doesn’t bode well for finishing the album anytime soon, assuming it’s not done already.  If they’re having troubles getting in the same room now, a solo tour in Europe won’t help.

    You made it sound like it was an Eddie Vedder interview. Does anyone other than the same five or six people posting have any info? We fill stadiums for this band and f5 (lol) all day to get tickets yet only the same people are posting and a few posting negative. anyone else able to post? Seems like a glitch in the system. Why was there a link to retro and now no longer a link? Anyone have any valid info?

    Might as well count 2015 as well minus the small SA tour.

    My guess is Lollapalooza first weekend in August with Woodstock two weeks later and dates in between/surrounding

    I know I'm in the minority here, but I'm half hoping theres no tour this year. The funds aren't there, and if they don't want to play or be in the same room together, I'd rather wait till they have something new and are excited about it, however if they do Woodstock, Canada or NOLA I will be there, as I have family wanting to do those. From what we've seen my bet is probably EV tour in June/July Pearl Jam in August and maybe sept with only festival appearances this year, only time will tell however.

    If it’s either an EV tour or PJ tour, they both need new music to do it. They can’t keep on doing the same shows all the time. Both need new material.
    Saying that, PJ can bring in a lot of songs that get ignored and it would feel like a whole new experience. Same can be said for EV, he can cover any song out there in his solo tour.
    So basically who knows what will happen........definitely not me 🤔

    I’ll be okay with zero EV or PJ shows until new music is released by one or both. I love the shows and the live experience is second to none, but with no new music it does feel like full blown legacy act territory. Not trying to be negative. Just the reality.

    I agree. Something like Lolla, Phillies Stadium (x2), MSG (x2), Woodstock, Fenway (x2) in August could work.

    Maybe west coast arenas in the fall if album done?

    Pearl Jam is not a legacy act. A legacy act is when you go see the one guy from hermans hermits at a casino or on a cruise.  New music would be nice, but I am perfectly fine with Pearl Jam performing songs from their current catalog.

    pj has only played 62 shows in the last 4 years... only 29 of those shows were in the US, and out of those 29, 11 of those were stadium shows (8 at wrigley and fenway alone), 4 were at festivals, one was at third man records, and one was the rock n roll hall of fame show (the only show they played in 2017)... so take those away, and they have only played 12 shows in the US in the last 4 years... 12 shows... so that kinda puts things into perspective...

    so sadly i think festivals and stadium shows will be the future of pj shows, with people willing to travel to see them and with the money they make on merch alone, i don't see that changing, with the exception of maybe a new album, where the tour would most likely be similar to what the 2013/2014 tour was with lightning bolt... so the ed solo shows make sense, why play for 3 hours and scream when you can go on vacation with your family and play short, quiet acoustic shows in small venues and make money on the merch... then play a couple stadium shows and festivals and make an insane amount of money on merch... hoping that's not true, but it's just my observation...

    These lines really sum up what is going on in the pearl jam world:
    “It’d be fun to record or even just write a song together,” bassist Jeff Ament says.
    Ament says. “We’re just sort of in a little bit of  limbo. I’m sure everybody’s got a bunch more riffs, and I’m sure Ed’s got a handful of journal lyrics. It’s just going to take us all getting into a room together for six weeks and just knocking something out.”
    "This is a broken record, but I think I’ve said that I would record a lot more with Pearl Jam if that was what could happen. It just hasn’t happened for some reason.”
    The last quote at the bottom is very telling. 
    What’s Eddie up to these days. What’s the reason?
    i will probably get a lot of shit for what im about to say but i think Ed (and to an extend PJ because none of the rest of the band wants to "rock the boat" and take the control of the band from Ed) has become what they were fighting against being in the 90´s.

    Im not talking anything from the lastest albums , hell i love Lightning Bolt but something radically changed in 2006/2007 within the band. From mini-tours (the 2009 european tour is the main proof ) to the huge increase in price tickets , lack of comunication with the fan club and lost of stuff members get (see x-mas single).







    To be fair, charging $125 for FOH seats is by far the best deal in high demand live rock shows.

    But these seats are restricted from 99% of music fans.

    I will preface this by saying that I am not a smart man, but isn't some combination of Outside Lands, Kaaboo, Life is Beautiful and then Ohana Festival the obvious answer here? When was the last show in SoCal? 2014? Throw in a 2 night stand at The Forum (assuming the festivals don't have geography restrictions) and you are pretty much there.

    Based on this thread, it should be VERY easy to get tickets this year.
    (Please, no Lollapalooza)
