    I don’t know how much people understand the band. Just because some Governor in some state says “max capacity” doesn’t mean the band is just gonna say it’s safe. I wouldn’t get your hopes up for shows in 2021, it’s almost June btw
    Well none of us really know the band so we are all just speculating. I doubt anything happens in 2022 but will not rain on anyone's parade. I don't see any real difference in the safety of Fall 2021 or Spring of 2022 though.

    ^ Agree with both points above.  1.  Pearl Jam isn't going to play shows based on a Governor's safety measures.  2.  Why don't they just come out and say "See you all in 2022." 

    Plenty of bands will play indoor shows in 2021, but not this one.
    I m thinking they are going to play arenas or sheds sometime in 2021.  
    I'll ride the wave where it takes me......

    I’m basing my opinion on the bands history. I don’t think they’re playing this year at all, we’ll see what happens in the future. I think we’re all forgetting the rest of the world is on a Covid tear right now, unseen in 2020. Band is probably playing it safe

    anyone else remember listening to Sirius trying to score free tickets with song of the week? I was so close a few times and had my co workers all trying to call in, haha the good ole days
    I won tickets, so I’m 100% sure the show will never be rescheduled.

    I hope you meant until 2022 and not in 2022 lol ugh. 

    For the people that think Pearl Jam knowingly today have no plans on playing any of the fests this fall are you ok with them not cancelling yet? I mean these are EV and Danny Clinch run festivals so what are they waiting for exactly?

    Haha yep, those were the good ole days. Was caller #21 a couple times. Still hoping to hustle my way in somehow. I think I'd be ok with a theater of other (hopefully) vaccinated folks. An arena, maybe not yet

    Isn't point of vaccine so we can get back to normal? To each is own..
    Indeed it is. But "getting back to normal" requires a certain % of people to get the vaccine, and there sure is a giant % swearing against it. Plus variants plus other countries (India right now, and still Brazil) where it's still out of control and spurring more variants.

    In other words, if we could get over the hump of enough vaccinated in the US that we're good, then that leads us to "normal".  But it simply is not normal yet, no matter who much some people want to act like it is, if there's still a solid chance of a crowded event turning into a spreader event. Because, remember, no vaccine is 100% effective at stopping transmission.

    All that said, I'm super ready to get back to a show, outdoors for now for sure, but hopefully indoors by late fall.  I just want it to make scientific sense at the time, and as has been hashed out here 100 times, setting up the shows and selling tix in advance when it's not totally certain is a major obstacle.

    I will say this, I just saw on Ed's official IG a "See you at Ohana" video, so.... I'd say there are at least 2 PJ shows happening in 2021 (SeeHearNow and Ohana), and why not the Apollo just to get the juices flowing and let at least 1 event happen? Seems totally possible.

    ^ agreed however it’s indoor so a different consideration. 

    Roof of the Apollo?

    I would think they are waiting to see how some of the other "openings" go - such as NBA playoffs, etc. and holding out for fall 2021 plans. Agree they aren't going to play full arenas just because politicians say it's ok to do so.

    Cuomo announced today that Radio City will operate at 100% capacity with no masks for the fully Vaccinated “seeking entertainment” 

    one step closer to the Apollo! I’m so ready!

    Most of the Sirius Apollo shows have been to promote a brand new album or new channel, no? 

    I could see this being cancelled outright. 14 months after a new release is well past the time for hype.

    I hope not, but have been thinking of other scenarios aside from Gigaton release party. 30th anniversary of Ten, something like that maybe.

    Pearl Jam can still do the Apollo. And I think they said they still want to do it. Plus, it's the Apollo.
