I think if Dimi really knew something, we would know by now. The fact he doesn't is quite telling at this point, but hey, here's to some spicy hints coming soon!!

I was just thinking the same thing yesterday.

But could also mean his source may no longer be involved with the band or something similar.

Hey bud, on another thread that was closed, you mentioned the re-scheduled 2020 U.S. tour possibly starting in November? Any inside info on that? For some reason, I feel that is where it is headed. Maybe I will be proven wrong, but just a feeling. Thanks in advance.

I dont have any inside info. Someone else mentioned that they had a leak from MSG that stated the New York show specifically would be in November.

Many of us have since predicted that Baltimore will be canceled due to a renovation issue, and that MSG and Canada will be in November, likely surrounding some added East coast dates.

The belief is still that the 2020 Tour and the rest of the shows will start in May, possibly starting on the west coast and working east.

Much thanks!

I don't see PJ playing it but just the same, Boston Calling is teasing its lineup announcement might come this week.

I do not see it happening either but fully expect them to be playing that weekend. Either in Cali or OKC.

Also with the MSG out of the mix for May with the Nov MSG rumours I am guessing if they are going to add some shows this spring it would be Las Vegas and/or. If they are going up the west coast Seattle and Portland are obvious choices.

At this point though I am going to guess we just get the 10 arena shows that are not MSG/BAL/CAN this May and maybe Seattle gets the baseball treatment in the summer again along with Fenway, Wrigley and Philly (they were heavily rumoured in 2018 but it fell through it seemed like).

I’m pretty sure I remember hearing that Boston calling (run by MSG Entertainment) wanted PJ to play, but wouldn’t pay them what they wanted to play the festival. Then the Foo fighters were announced as headliner. This was in 2020, which obviously ended up not happening regardless.

HailHailVitalogy · January 2022

Dimitri stopped posting hints because blogs and websites were using him as a source, and he hated it. If you want to read into anything he made a discussion thread saying hi to everyone. Read into that as you may, I think he just misses the community.

To be honest, I’m more intrigued by Europe. I have tickets to 7 shows and have been planning on a life change around these dates since 2020 (would be taking 2-3 months off). That probably sounds dumb but it’s true. Don’t think I’ll make all 7 but the logistics could be crazy. Also don’t want to purchase travel and stay since I lost a good amount of money in 2020 with cancelations and credits I could never use.

If MSG is November, I don’t see them playing other outdoor venues in October/November…Besides Boston, Chicago and Philly I’d like to see them add the following cities: Atlanta, Kansas City, Vegas, Pitt, Detroit, Houston, New Orleans, Minneapolis, Portland, and something crazy in Maine or Vermont. Atlanta, Houston, and Vegas are loooooooong overdue

I find this to be a bit of a bummer. When I was younger it was super quick to buy merch. You'd wait in the line, which gave you time to look at what was up, you'd put in your order, hand over the cash and take off. 30 second transaction kind of thing.

Now people want to try stuff on, take their time, and paying with cc adds a minute while the card authorizes. All of this makes it feel like merch lines move as slow as molasses :(

I loved when they had a cash only line. So much faster.

RatherStarved · January 2022

I think cash should be accepted in these places. At the start of the pandemic they were saying you could catch Covid from currency but I don’t think that has really been the problem. Not that I’m an expert or have researched it exactly.

on2legs · January 2022

I know at MetLife stadium here in NJ they don’t take cash and they actually have a reverse atm machine where you can put in cash and get a debit card back if you need it for concessions.

JojoRice · January 2022

I've been to several sporting events and concerts over the last year or so and they were all cashless.

Falling Down · January 2022

Not sure if it’s the same for all, but I end up leaving bigger tips while paying by card. For $20 of beers paid cash, chances are I’ll leave a buck. Took 5 seconds to pour (when not already poured), and often not much love given when handing me the said beer.

When you pay by card, they give you all these nice % options, and suddenly a 15 or 20% is chosen. Not much difference on one or two orders. But at Ohana, with $18 drinks ordered several times throughout the day, it does make a difference.

Once you go Apple Pay you will never go back. Best system ever.

This month's newsletter was extraordinarily disappointing. A whole lot of Ed & Earthlings, a few quick solo blips and nothing PJ or especially tour related. It seemed kind of like a forced newsletter with just some filler material.

Agreed. Not even "make sure your membership is up to date/renewal method is not expired" to make us hopeful

Honestly on the trying on stuff, I do not blame people I know that sizing is off with so many vendors these days. If I'm spending 200 on merch I'm gonna try it on and make sure it fits. Sometimes a 2xl is a small fitting xl.

The newsletters are generally filler or a commercial...

By no means a rumor, but a few large rock bands (no where near PJ status) are playing Chesapeake Arena at UMBC in April & May. Seems like a pretty logical replacement for Royal Farms.

Edit: Didn't check the venue size. Looks like only 5,500. Nevermind.

radar · January 2022

Cat Power postpones the tour that was suposed to start in January. New dates in April etc.
