    Twenty-five years after Pearl Jam called, Matt's batphone rings again.

    Unless I am missing something… I think it’s more likely that the Instagram pic is a tribute to his friend that died a year ago today.
    NOT an announcement that he is taking his place.
    Agree with this.

    Awesome for Matt! 
    So from this we’re supposed to take as he’s the  FF drummer for how ever long the tour is? Am I missing something

    I could be wrong, but I think he's just wearing it because it's the one year anniversary of Taylor's death. The jacket he's wearing is from the Taylor Hawkins tribute concerts (Matt was at the LA one). I'd be leaning a little more towards Foo Fighters if that was a piece of FF merch, but who knows...

    This is not an official statement but we all know the rumours. Why add fuel to the fire on a serious subject manner to him unless he was committing to some (guessing not all) shows. 

    Edit: I guess I should add awesome if it happens since I really have no info either way.

    True but I’d def expect an announcement of some sort from both camps!

    I agree but I also find it interesting that we might get a potential Matt announcement before PJ announces any shows. Plenty of people will think no PJ this year if he is the drummer and maybe spend money elsewhere.

    An actual rumor:

    ”Suddenly a remarkable rumor appears on the French radio. Philipe Manœuvre is sure: Pearl Jam is coming to Paris on June 8, 2023 for a concert. The band had to cancel a number of shows last year due to Eddie Vedder's voice problems. Will Pearl Jam return this year for a European summer holiday?

    It's something about those radio DJs who talk their mouths off. First, a BBC Jock confirmed that Foo Fighters would release new work this month . And now Philipe Manœuvre of the French radio station RFM reports that none other than Pearl Jam will return to Europe next summer. According to him, the band from Seattle will give a show in Paris on June 8, 2023. The fragment where Manœuvre more or less 'confirmed' this can be heard here (around 32:50) for those who speak or understand a word of French . 

    Not a very strange idea in itself. The grunge giants had to cancel a number of shows last year due to the persistent voice problems of frontman Eddie Vedder. Including the first performance of the diptych in the Amsterdam Ziggo Dome. Will the band return to Europe for a make-up tour and will they pick up some extra cities? Especially in Prague and Vienna the fans will listen to this.

    Matt Cameron?

    If this is true, is this gig going to happen with Matt Cameron? The drummer has also been linked to Foo Fighters to take his place next summer on the drum stool Taylor Hawkins left behind a year ago . While sources have been sketchy so far ( The Sun , among others), it's an interesting thought. Cameron attended the Taylor Hawkins tribute concert in the US and played the (especially among drummers) fan favorite 'Low' with Grohl and co. Did this perhaps taste like more?“

    Yesterday I’ve had a friend translate what the DJ said, as I don’t speak French. And there is a second date mentioned which would be May, 23 in Lisbon, Portugal. 
    And that is also weird. 
    Besides the short notice for this tour (Lisbon would be in less than 2 months) the dates would be exactly the same as the ones from 2000 in Paris and Lisbon. 
    Also Dimi posted on Facebook not long ago: „No Europe for PJ in 2023.“ 
    So I got excited for a second but then realized that this doesn’t make sense at all.

    I don’t think Matt would make any announcement on the anniversary of Taylor’s death. I don’t think he’d want the day to be about himself

    Forgot it was the 1 year anniversary. That makes much more sense.

    As someone stated, the two dates mentioned in the broadcast happen to be the Lisbon and Paris dates from 2000.  The DJ must have finally opened his email from 23 years ago.  That’s about the most likely explanation.  
    PJ: 2013: London (ON); Buffalo; 2014: Cincinnati; 2016: Sunrise, Miami, Toronto 1-2, Wrigley 2; 2018: London (UK) 1, Milan, Padova, Sea 2, Wrigley 1-2, Fenway 1-2; 2021: SHN, Ohana, Ohana Encore 1-2; 2022: LA 1-2, Phx, Oak 1-2, Fresno, Copenhagen, Hyde Park 1-2; Quebec, Ottawa, Hamilton, Toronto; MSG, Camden, Nashville, Louisville, St. Louis, OKC; 2023: St. Paul 1-2, Chicago 1-2; Fort Worth 2; Austin 1-2; 2024:  Vancouver 1-2, LV 1-2, LA 1-2, Napa, Barcelona 1-2; Indy; Chicago 1-2; MSG 1-2; Philly 2; Boston 2; Ohana 1-2; 2025: FL 1-2, ATL 1-2, Nash 1-2, Pit 1-2.

    They come to Arizona every 7-10 years. Anything before 2026 here is gravy to me. Hoping they come somewhere close before then.
