    Another lost year at this point would be terrible.

    There was definitely plans for shows this year. I do wonder though if the album is now taking priority like you mentioned. It is still way too early to write off this year and this spring even but it is odd we do not have much to go on aside from an interview saying Matt is touring in the spring.

    Dimi did change his FB group from Pearl Jam 2022 Tour to Pearl Jam 2023 tour back in like October when that tour finished up.  I think we all agree he knows things.  Not saying the info he has hasn’t changed though.  

    I’m pretty sure there will be shows this year, besides that I got nothing!

    They toured last year. Not unusual to then not tour the following year.

    I would like to believe that they would want to milk out at least a few more dates in support of Gigaton before touring a new album.

    They had no touring revenue for 3 entire years. Fall of 2018 - Fall of 2021. I’m sure that’ll come into play.

    We have to keep in mind that while the world has mostly moved on from Covid, it’s still a thing and as far as I know when bands tour they still bubble and follow protocols.  That’s got to be a disincentive to touring I would think.  If they don’t need the money why put themselves through that.  Just a perspective.

    During their part of the interviews during the end of the year special on XM both Stone and Josh spoke about how Covid had affected (disrupted) the tours.

    Agree. There’s always a chance but things aren’t looking good. Generally since 2014 the band has toured in even numbered years and EV in odd numbered years. Was hoping for EV Euro Tour but I think chances are very low given nothing announced (and with many other artists having all announced already). 

    I often wonder which members of the band like touring and which do not (from his Instagram posts it’s obvious Jeff hates it). Some other bands like the Killers tour with two of their members missing as they hate touring / do not want to be away from family. I suppose an option for all bands, but I don’t think it would seem right if PJ ever did this.

    Why. They didn't tour in 2017 and 2019 before COVID-19.

    The thing that I still don’t get….

    If you don’t want to Tour, whatever, but why not a few nights per year in Seattle.

    Make us come to you during the “off” years.  We don’t mind.  I promise.  Just play somewhere.

    Why? What an odd question. Years without a Pearl Jam tour are sad. Also the kick to the nuts that was Sacramento last year and then also personally having to opt out of Nashville made me really look forward to more this year. And I want to hear as many Gigaton songs before it’s overshadowed by something new…

    EV announcements are usually a bit later though maybe March, not saying it will happen but there's time for that yet

    We're 12 days into the year and people are already convinced there won't be shows this year because they haven't announced something yet.  Wow.
    This show, another show, a show here and a show there.

    Because they aren't getting any younger and are already scaling back the length of shows, acoustic starts for Ed's voice, etc.  How would not touring this year not be sad when they are still capable of high energy shows? It's not going to last forever folks.

    We have 5-7 years left if we’re lucky.  Every year matters.  No one can rightfully expect the band to be the same in their mid to late 60s.
