Why do people think PJ is playing Ohana?  They never do festivals two years in a row and already have three SoCal arena shows (SD and LAx2), and played Ohana three times last fall.  Ed is obviously going to be there but I don’t see PJ playing there again this year.  

If the September and October rumours are true from the last couple pages, this seems like a logical break in the tour.

Because Ohana can't do an "Encore Weekend" without Pearl Jam on the bill. So the fest doubles their money if PJ plays. People think 5 PJ shows in SoCal in one year is a lot, but they'd done it before. They literally played LA 4 times on the 2009 tour AND played San Diego. I know people who hit every LA show AND every SD show (SD is only two hours away). And saying they wouldn't play Ohana two years in a row because they've never played a fest two years in a row kinda overlooks the fact that Ohana is Ed's festival.   

People also think that the demand for the EV show here was low due to Ohana last year-- that's not the case. I would've gone if it hadn't been so expensive. Or if it had been PJ. There is significantly less demand to see EV solo than there is the full band and that's simply because the full band shows are a thousand times better. So they could absolutely sell out LA x2, San Diego, and Ohana x 2 (especially if Ohana has a strong lineup-- imagine if they added Foo Fighters, U2, or RHCP etc). 

Those 4 LA shows were at the Gibson Amphitheater. Capacity was a little more than 6,000. They didn't do multiple nights at the Forum.

DENVER 9/22

Today I heard
Quebec. 9/1 
Ottawa 9/3
Hamilton 9/5
Toronto 9/7

Unable to confirm

Labour Day weekend will be a tough one.

Canada can gladly have labor day weekend or anywhere else, as long as the apollo and msg shows aren't that weekend.

I think it's strange that these dates are all exactly every other day from each other. I think they might not mean anything. I can't think of a tour that went perfect odd or even days like that for that many shows in a row... not back to backs or not every third day etc... doesn't really make sense to me.

I mean...maybe?

No! That's one of the things that sets them above the rest. No Platinum and no bullshit aisle seat upcharges.

Did you not see Ed's recent platinum tour?
