DEGBTI · January 2023

JimmyV · January 2023

I spent years trying to wish the Fenway shows into existence. Can't be too bothered by others trying to do the same.

Side note: I always factored PJ for Sat or Sun at Sonic Temple. My gut still says Sat.

New Sonic Temple tease starts with what looks like a red moon

Like perhaps a Superblood Wolfmoon?

90% chance the boys are locked in for Sonic Temple. Just a matter of which day...

when you call sonic temple a “90% lock” based off nothing? 🤣🤪

the only salt here is the pillars upon which your rumors are based…

The Sonic Temple social media hints weren’t “nothing”. They were worth posting here and seemed promising.

Regardless, Go Animal is helping to keep us all engaged and generate some enthusiasm as we wait for information on the tour. There’s no trolling going on here… it’s all good speculative fun and I really appreciate the effort he puts in on these threads!

And people wonder why there isn’t any solid rumours on here ………HMMMMMMM

Thanks Go Animal for all that you do! I always appreciate and enjoy reading about the rumors regardless of whether they turn out to be true (that is, after all, why they’re called rumors). Fingers crossed we get some dates soon!

Weirder things have happened, but PJ at Lolla seems more and more like a lock. No sources, no Intel. Just looking at facts, which coincide with the no Wrigley rumor.

1. PJ has not played Lolla Chicago in 15 years.
2. PJ has played multiple other Lolla's over the past 15 years, so it seems like they play nicely with the promoters.
3. Metallica, Green Day, Foo Fighters, Jack White have all played Lolla over the past 2 years, making each less likely to show up in '23.
4. Red Hots and Iggy Pop would seem like solid 2023 touring acts for adding rock credibility to Lolla..However, Iggy is in Poland on 8/4 (not a total Lolla rule out, but not very likely). The Chilis will have just wrapped a European tour on 7/24, after having played AU/NZ/Mexico/CA/US dates earlier in the year. Regardless of their rigorous touring habits, they probably need to break, and break out the Bengay at some point (not a total rule out, but Lolla doesn't seem very likely).
5. Who else is left as a major rock touring act? 3 acts that seem even less likely: Bruce, Paul, and Da Stones.

RHCP are heavily rumored for Lolla Chicago this year unfortunately.

I had not heard that, but I appreciate the info. That might just poke a hole in my theory. Jeez.. If true, RHCP are machines!

Go Animal · January 2023

Appreciate the love guys🤗at the end of the day, like on2legs said, I'm just trying to keep people enthusiastic. And like Weston said, news is harder to come by nowadays.

If nothing else, MAYBE this stuff helps some Faithfull save on refundable air fare & hotels (let alone help them plan their time off) by getting SOME (or any) dates right.

Til then, the waiting drives us mad lol

Thanks!!! I was going to @ him but figured he’d be in here hinting if he was given the Okay. I guess we’ll see.

Big fan of Dimi (I, too, love Deep live. Also, I try not to step on his toes when it comes to setlist threads), but I hear he's a busy man, so I shan't be a bother.

(That being said, I'll take whatever breadcrumbs I can get, lol)

He won’t say anything. Hasn’t in years. But I felt it couldn’t hurt to ensure he’s reading along

Bunting10 · January 2023

I’m a simple man. I would enjoy a comment along the lines of “North America will be happy this year”.

I just heard about this from a friend in Chicago, so that plus this:

Dirty Franks at this point might be more of an Earthlings clue than a Pearl Jam clue.

Totally valid. BUT, I don't see Ed doing Earthlings shows without Chad. He's "the boss" & "the engine" according to Ed, lol. There was an article that came & went about Iggy's tour. He has his own offshoot of the Earthlings, The Losers.
Iggy & The Losers are Iggy Pop, Duff McKagan, Josh Klinghoffer, Andrew Watt (live your best life, bro!) and Chad Smith.

Lost In Ohio · January 2023

I thought The Losers were Howard Stern, Gary Dell'Abate, Scott Salem, etc. Ha.

Lost In Ohio · January 2023

If we look at anything that makes remote sense, we can kind of begin to put pieces together when rumors fall apart.

With the Foos playing Ohio in late May, it's probably safe to assume PJ won't be anywhere in the vicinity in late May, amirite?

With these Philly rumors not dying, if someone heard something solid about a show/shows in the area, maybe it gives Philadelphia more traction.

Stuttering John!

And yeah, I think you're right about territory. The PJ & FF camps are friendly, and try not to step on each other's toes. So, maybe my FL/east coast speculation isn't far off?

See.. I got really fired up when vedpunk hit us with a giddy up a few days ago. Now this? What do we make of this?? Is it lmfao because we're so desperate? Or lmfao because they know it's happening. Fuck I need to touch grass
