Alright who here is french and wants to translate from 4:40 on? Lets Go!

Is this the Quebec news? According to Facebook this show will be happening "this winter."

Yes and this is where they got it from. Announcement is imminent apparently but wanted confirmation from a fan from here that could translate. My wife, sisters, and mother are all bilingual. They are not answering their phone though lol. This is the first time in my whole Canadian life I think that I feel like not having french past 10th grade has failed me.

If they're holding off based on the fact that fans travel to see them, I find that odd. They're not the only band that has fans traveling abroad. Also, if certain countries are at different points in their pandemic "recovery" then shows can be scheduled accordingly. I don't know. The band owes us shit, so I'm not complaining. It continues to strike me as odd that they have said nothing at all though. A simple, "we're hoping to reschedule the 2020 shows for Spring of 2022...stay tuned" would suffice.

I’m not seeing the international travel angle being the reason.

JimmyV · June 2021

Are winter shows in Quebec common?

JimmyV · June 2021

This is of course an uncommon situation.

RatherStarved · June 2021

Looks like GNR dropped Toronto completely from their new dates. Good job Canada and Ontario governments.

He says winter/spring, then later adds that the band is currently working on dates but he thinks February/March. Also said about 10,000 tickets are currently sold (after refunds).

Awesome thanks!! Thats is a shit ton of tickets to sell again but know they will go fast except the behind the stage.

JimmyV · June 2021

Spring 2022. It's all happening!

Weston1283 · June 2021

I think there’s a high chance they would reschedule the US shows for this fall and the 4 Canada shows in spring 2022

Nothing saying they can’t break the initial tour up into two segments

Canada shows would line up nicely with some new Northeast US and Midwest shows as well since those are what’s missing from the initial tour

Zod · June 2021

I think by the fall most Canadians will have 2 doses. The amount of vaccinne we're getting keeps increasing, especially with the US hitting a saturation point. By the fall we'll probably have more vaccinated people than the US.

I guess the problem is taking the risk of scheduling a Canadian show before border restrictions and lockdown measures are lifted.

Given that I have Oakland tickets, and I need to cross the border, and I still need the 2nd vaccine, I'm totally ok if the winter/spring rumour is true

I'm sure this applies to a lot of fans.

Doesn't surprise me that PJ isn't trying to be first out of the gate. Fans travel to lots of bands shows, but I think PJ has more than most. They built their career on varied setlists, creating a culture of going to lots of shows.

I’m not there yet, but if the next couple weeks pass and we don’t even get a vague update or something saying they’re working on the dates, then I’m chalking it up to some sort of internal disagreement to be honest
They have had 14 months to think about the different scenarios, and the promoters have gotten the green light. Something doesn’t add up if this drags out beyond mid to end of June.

The last couple of weeks, concert announcements have been rolling out by the day, and many days, by the hour. So the silence makes less and less sense as the days go on.

It really does have to be internal disagreement. There are a few things:
1st - This isn't even serious at this point (it never really was but that's another topic)
2nd - There are events commencing of 100k plus person festivals (outdoors 150k vs 18k indoor - its really negligible - if you have ever been at a 3 or 4 day festival you know those outdoor showers/bathrooms/camping locations are trash - an arena for 5 hours is FAR cleaner/safer)
3rd - There are a plethora of internal arena shows being announced, with more coming every week.
4th - "The Science" has already said everything was fine as of like 4 weeks ago and it's still radio silence.

Maybe the band is just gonna retire. Have they just lost interest due to this sedimentary lifestyle that was forced on everyone? Every other 2020 tour has been rescheduled already or they were canceled. This band is the last band standing, and quite frankly, they have the most dedicated fans that they are just fucking over with no updates. Seems bizarre that the most loyal fans are treated the worst.

PJNB · June 2021

Maybe, now give me a second here this might just sound crazy, just maybe the band has been waiting until a date they felt comfortable with with the reschedules and not being in a position to constantly have to push those dates over and over again like all of the other bands. Of course I want more communication. Of course I want to know the dates right now. But I do appreciate the band keeping the shows that they had and allowing us to keep our tickets. The shows will happen next spring it looks like and I can not fucking wait.

This seems silly. For one thing every member of the band has been releasing solo projects. None of them have lost interest because of the "sedentary lifestyle that was forced on everyone." Who was forced to be sedentary, btw?

A better guess is that they don't want to play indoors unless they can do it safely. Their concerns as a band are a lot different than most other bands. They also know that having "vaccinated" and "unvaccinated" sections where some people are wearing masks is just public health theater.

I think they'll announce the rescheduled dates soon. I also hope they announce a couple of warm up shows at the newly renovated arena in Seattle. It was literally built with the idea of hosting PJ shows. I will say that the lack of rumors in Seattle about the band is impressive. There hasn't been a credible stream of rumors in Seattle about Pearl Jam shows or albums for 20 years. Those who say don't know, and those who know don't say.

It will happen when it happens. If it doesn't then they had a good run, and have you heard of the Black Tones, A. Swayze, Sons, or Idles? Rock and roll marches on.

RatherStarved · June 2021

They’re not fucking anyone over with no updates. It’s all but certain they are set to announce March 2022. Does it really matter if it takes a few more days to confirm? We all have tickets already, at least whoever was able to get before and decided to keep. I’d like the answer as well but I don’t think they’re F’ing with us.

Sigh

these things have always taken time with PJ. There's a lot of moving parts and what not. And they probably want to ensure they can play to a full crowd, safely for them and for the attendees. And the science hasn't said everything is fine. Only if you're vaccinated so maybe they're still working on the logistics of all this. Plus it's probably more difficult to plan for next year knowing that a lot of locations will have relaxed or different requirements by then, so how do you factor that in now when you dont know for sure.

Guaranteed they are not retiring and they want to tour again.

sheri zona · June 2021

I’d be happy to just get to go to the shows that I’m holding tickets for, but wishlist? How about another show in Hi...it’s been a long time!
