Remember when McCready was saying they hadn’t had much going on with the record and then it was announced shortly after.  They are smart enough to talk about only what is public.  

Hoping for a few more shows this fall.

As a business, there is close to a 0% chance that these guys are rehearsing, packing up their equipment, paying the guitar/drum techs, and flying to New Jersey for a single show when equivalent bands are playing arenas down the street.  They would have just cancelled Sea Hear Now, as anybody would think is reasonable given the global pandemic and all.

As this is the rumour thread, maybe they are taking their time because they are trying to figure out how to swap 10c tickets in an arena for equivalent seats in an amphitheater? 

Or waiting to see if the G7 summit unlocks international travel between Canada, US, EU and UK.

As a business, they are making more than enough money to cover their costs.  Stone also said that the first order of business would be meeting their obligations for postponed shows.  SHN falls into that category. Why would they cancel it? Next will be the arena dates when the band feels it is safe to play indoors. Jeff mentioned that it is unlikely to happen this year.

There is no way I would be scheduling shows for Florida, Louisiana, or Texas at this point, with their positivity rates so high.  Other states are seeing huge decreases in rates, so I could see them targeting those.  If people get more vaxxed, keep wearing masks, and get those positivity rates down, I could see more shows considered for those areas. 

People will be travelling anyway, so some people will be coming from those high positivity states.  But workers, band, etc...they would all need to come into contact with more people that have higher positivity rates. 

People like to compare california to those states, but the california population is so much higher, its not really comparable.  

All the more reason to play New England.

Got to stick up for FL. We were able to provide vaccines to all ages much quicker than other states like PA, and it looks like new cases are trending down. I would bet most of the populated counties have high rates of vaccinated people versus the rural areas. We had huge events in Tampa (Wrestlemania, Super Bowl) and outdoor sports parades for the Lightning and Buccaneers championships. There was not a spike after those events. 

FL, LA and TX would be the ideal locations for outdoor shows in October to December. Great weather, lower chances of hurricanes.

Part of Florida's problem is that they are adjacent to other states that dont have high vax rates, and Florida has been a destination for vacationers.  You are correct, they were trending down....but they stopped reporting....my guess is because they knew that schools were out and more and more people were going to travel and the rates were going to just naturally go up.  Agreed about the counties, and agreed about the idea that FL, TX and LA would be good locations for outdoor shows in late fall....if those numbers keep trending...but now there is no way to know what is happening in florida.  And Texas and LA arent trending down so much as holding steady.

Just looking at the top 5 states by population, and their 7 day moving averages....until Florida stopped reporting...because "Everything is fine now!"


California  950
Texas 1400
Florida this was around 1700-2000 before they stopped reporting. 
New York    750
Illinois    420

Louisiana, so their numbers by 7 day average are strange, because they dont seem to report on some days....so they will go from 900 to 400 and bounce around from there. Doesnt sound like much, but considering they are the 25th most populated state....and their region is generally a less vaccinated region....

Play Southern Illinois at Saluki Stadium in Carbondale! It stays pretty temperate downstate until later in the Fall than the Chicago area.

I really hope they add shows around shn and ohana.  

i'd be a little annoyed at this point since i've already booked my travel to both.

Even if they do add some shows You get to travel to two great beach destinations, be happy not annoyed.

Everything annoys me!

I am pumped though. Especially to see the first show back.
