Are we thinking the US will just get stadium shows?

Not at all. I believe I'm in the minority when I said I don't mind stadium shows at all. I have a feeling that they will have a mixture of stadium and arenas. Some markets will not warrant a venue the size of a stadium. 

Chicago will not get another arena show.  Too much proven success and connection to the organization.  Seattle in the same boat until Key arena reno is done.  More and more ball parks are jumping on the band wagon for concerts.  Shows appear to be running typically from May-August.  Any PJ us touring before or after will give us some arenas and based on some of the speculation, we could get a fall '20 run.  This lines up with Euro June-July, US stadiums July-Aug, US/Canada arenas Fall.  Just trying to piece the puzzle together.  Still holding out hope for a W/SW US run in the spring.

Wasn't the solid rumor that they'd be overseas summer and states before the election? I do not recall seeing the rumor that states are a summer option?

I was just thinking about the venue situation in Seattle.  Yeah they’ll probably do T-Mobile Park, but there’s also white river amphitheater.  It’s an OK venue about 45 minutes from Seattle, but can be a pain in the ass to get to and from. 

Edit: just looked and it only holds 16,000 so probably not lol

There will be US shows in Ohio, Wisconsin, Penn, Michigan, and Florida.  Maybe Alaska, if Jeff has his way.

So what USA cities are due?
Columbus and Cleveland hasn't had them since Backspacer.
The west coast last saw them in 2013.

It would be foolish for them not to go to the usual northeast cities, given the new record.


So... something similar to 2013, but August/September and November?

I do not think we will get 2013 if they are doing the 15 or so shows rumoured in Europe. 

Three North American "away" cities over 50 months.

Every NA city is significantly overdue other than Chi & Bos. And we're probably getting less shows as Europe gets its second tour in 3 years. 


Edit,


2nd Euro tour over 3 years. I can hardly count to 3.

Second tour in two years.....

I am with you and do not get it. 2016 was a decent size tour but that will be 4 years ago. If I was a betting man before these Euro shows started to be rumoured I would have said album in the spring and NA tour to follow. Now neither look like they are true.

Priorities for the next US tour (in my opinion)

-Proper West coast run (Vegas would be badass)
-Make up Raleigh, NC
-Obscure Midwestern cities 
-Texas
-I hope for Florida but I doubt it
-Canada needs some love too

I got it from my friends, sister’s Uncle Sam, that his cousin’s pastor knows someone who will remain anonymous within his congregation(for obvious reasons) that his wife’s boss got told there will be shows somewhere on planet earth in 2020. Don’t shoot the messenger, just what I was told!
