    Nice draft!

    Scrap Lincoln and New Mexico.

    Lock in one night in Twin Cities vs. two

    Scrap Milwaukee and lock in two in Chicago.

    then I think you have what’s likely if anything happens

    Minnesota - 1
    Chicago - 2
    Noblesville - 1
    Vegas - 1
    Ohana - 1 or 2 (could do 2 weekends likely if PJ)

    based on the 7 dates there, I’m going to suggest that though would be a lot of cross country mileage perhaps Boston gets its dates with 2 at Mansfield and maybe Seattle gets 2 at Climate Pledge to bring the total to 10 or 11,   Don’t think there’s much there beyond that.

    Truthfully, not confident anything happens to be honest. If Noblesville gets another booking for the 10th then we likely have our answer.
    I was confident about New England a while ago. Now? Not so much. Feeling like it's 2024 for them, but regardless, I'll be there (play Hartford!)
    If Noblesville gets booked for 09/10 or not at all, there still a chance for a small 2018 style run, sans ball parks. Chicago is both home AND away. Ohana is too. Maybe 6 or 7 shows, with a couple 2-nighters? I have a few more versions queued (one with a pipe dream, lol).

    I’d take Noblesville as a sign if the 10th falls through personally.

    Agree that it’s possible for small Midwest run, Vegas, and Ohana being it as a 6-7 show run.

    If they dropped the 10th though, I’d see it as the juice wasn’t worth the squeeze for them.

    Remember that Home and Away was all 35k+ capacity venues I believe.

    Currently, none of the rumored venues listed meet that threshold and so you’re talking about a big difference financially.

    A lot easier to commit to only 7 dates when they are all ballparks/stadium vs. arenas/sheds.

    It all sounds plausible but if there was a shred of evidence that they are planning anything it would be more fun to speculate.

    They've played the Xcel Energy Center in St Paul the four previous times when in the state. 2003, 2006 and 2014. They've only once played Target Center and that was before the Xcel Center was built. The Target Center is outdated and pretty crappy. 

    Also, I cant stress this enough....

    I'm from St. Paul and have my biases.

    All in good fun!

    And the State Fair grounds are lovely, but I doubt Pearl Jam would play there during the Great Minnesota Get Together. Its a whole thing. As fun as it would be, and I would personally love it; I cant see that happening with the vibe that goes with what the State Fair does.

    Fair! That's why I listed all the options. There's a few folks on here chomping at the bit to see them at that State Fair since it's a big draw. But figured I'd slip Somerset in there just for the hell of it.

    All in good fun but at the end of the day you know they are playing few dates in the northeast whenever they go out. Kansas, Nebraska, Wisconsin, and Indiana? Not sure that could happen with a new record.  =)

    To be fair, a lot of that is spitballing. Geared towards their preferred promoters & Jeff's love of playing off the beaten path.

    V.10 or 11 will be MUCH more streamlined. Dare I say U.S. 2018-ish.

    I suspect PJ will NOT play Europe this year.
    Agreed. Ed & the Earthlings, though? That record hit #1 & not just in the U.S.

    I've got a hunch...

    Maybe? Chad Smith is touring with RHCP, Glen Hansard has his tours, and Josh Klinghoffer is touring with Janes Addiction.

    I get the feeling, due to their other projects, it might be rarity for the stars to align for band to tour.   Glad I got to go when I did :)

    They seem to like playing outdated and crappy venues. They played The Forum and Oakland Arena last year when there are newer buildings not far away.

    I think there's a huge national confusion. The Twin Cities are Two major cities with a huge sprawling metropolitan. We have alot of music venues and sports buildings. The downtowns of St Paul and Minneapolis are literally 8-10 miles from each other. The hockey building (Xcel Center) is in St Paul and was built in 2000. The basketball building (Target Center) is in Minneapolis and built in 1989 with a renovation a couple years ago. 

    Point being....Pearl Jam hasn't played the Target Center since 1998. The Target Center has more seating in the upper bowl than the lower bowl/floor. I do not think the Target Center meets the credentials the Ten Club would be looking for in regards to seating. 

    I have no clue what other cities are like or how good or crappy the buildings Pearl Jam plays outside of my area. That said, I would be shocked if they played Target Center. Shocked. and I think locally speaking, when a band does announce a show at the Target Center, there is a sigh.

    At this point, I'm just assuming they have no plans to tour in 2024. If they do announce dates, great! But I'm not holding my breath... I feel like we usually at this point have some hints/nuggets of information and there seems to be none of that thus far...Hope I'm wrong!

    We should probably get the 2023 tour out of the way first before we start worrying about 2024 shouldn’t we?
