    Do we know if promoters are still making it a pain in the ass to tour with Covid restrictions and all that? 

    I wouldn’t want to have to adhere to sitting in my hotel room for hours every day over multiple weeks.

    I'd love to see an acoustic tour. Smaller venues make tickets harder to come by but maybe a couple nights in each city.

    I was thinking the same thing... theatre venue (like Apollo) and do multiple nights...and create special vinyl releases for them. The remodelled Massey Hall in Toronto would be a good place to start ;)

    Springsteen just announced a few ballpark shows. Shows in August.  Still time, but yeah, running out soon.

    Spring has sprung but there is still time for summer.

    Why would they need to tour, when you guys gobble up every piece of bs merch they throw at you like it's a Honus Wagner card?

    It's a fair point. The speed with which those posters sold today was incredible. Santos says "psst" and the race is on.

    They don’t need to tour, when they do tour, they want to, which makes a big difference.

    I think they have enough cash not to tour regardless of whether people buy the merch.

    Billy Strings has 64 dates on his rider for this year after announcing his summer tour, as well as 2 appearances for that Leslie Jordan Benefit and Willie Nelson birthday bash. Only 2 of those 64 dates are festivals, and most cities are getting multiple night runs. During August, he literally goes from Newport Folk Fest to Germany to play 3 shows there, then immediately turn around to come back to the US to play Knoxville. Most of his shows recently have been streaming on Nugs in real time, or they're always live on Mixlr if there is no Nugs stream. 

    Oh, and he has still yet to announce his fall tour.

    Wow

    Holding out hope for that United Center rumor in September, because it leads to other dates. If it was Wrigley, I wouldn’t be sure about more dates.

    lol, I think they make more from playing a single show, between tickets and merch, then do on the limit edition stuff they sell on the website every year.    Usually the limited stuff is so limited, the overall amount they make on it can't be that huge.   Doing a stadium show probably makes then more money than a few years of selling limited edition merch.

    The thing about limited edition merch is they only release so many year and the amount they sell is limited.

    I wouldn’t be shocked if they came to Chicago to do a surprise show at the Metro for the venue’s 40 anniversary this year, given how much each institution has meant to each other. Fun fact: if you go into the GMan tavern next door, you’ll see a customized black baseball bat behind the bar from Pearl Jam to Joe Shanahan, the owner of both venues. Given that Metro has already had huge acts like Metallica, Green Day, and Fallout Boy do surprise shows, it wouldn’t be surprising. Actually, makes those United Center shows make more sense.

    My guess...the spring tour (and maybe a fall tour) was scrapped in favor of a new album and definitely fall tour.

    There's too much side project activity to suggest that the band is working on an album. Painted Shield and now The Rockfords.

    On one hand it feels too soon for a new album. On the other it has been three years.
