    So I'm thinking the United Center is pretty close to Alpine.  So I don't think 4 is Alpine.  There were rumors about Boston and then Mansfield. Is it the Xfinity center?  I wish zooming in can show me a couple or Red Sox hats or something, but I can't make them out.  It has a feel for the Xfinity Center though, no?  
    I think it is safe to say a lot of these are just stage/touring shots. I do not think they are intended to be hints at upcoming shows. Rather they are there to get us hyped for the forthcoming tour announcement.


    There are 5 maybe 6 (Philly looking at you) cities that are intentionally on there as hints of the tour.  

     
    Maybe, but the “April fools?” Might be to make you think there are only 5 or 6 cities.  The playlist is also to mislead you.  I think “big things” means more than a tiny tour.  Maybe I’m just an eternal optimist lol.  

    I hope you are right!

    Someone did write on Facebook yesterday “there is no tour” and he responded “wanna bet?”.  That sounded like a more than 5 or 6 city response to me haha

    Seriously guys, Blue Dream, Shiner Bock, and a Riot Act/Yield combo really takes the edge off the anticipation.

    Two sources said Fenway, then Mansfield this year, then stuff changed. Tour start went from Boston, to Minn//St. Paul. Again, I'd go to New England in a heartbeat. Fingers crossed for next year!
    I’m sticking with Boston area being in play.  Looks like the former great woods to me.  
    That shot looks exactly like great woods to me to as well, but there are just too many sheds out there that look so similar. Makes its very hard to tell. Wishful thinking though! Here’s to at least one New England date!!

    Maybe, but the “April fools?” Might be to make you think there are only 5 or 6 cities.  The playlist is also to mislead you.  I think “big things” means more than a tiny tour.  Maybe I’m just an eternal optimist lol.  

    Let’s be honest, we’re all being April fools for guessing instead of just waiting for the official announcement. :)

    yeah I was thinking there had to be a connection... however looking at the email, there really was no news in there at all other than the teaser video - the yield reissue and the closing of mopop were both in previous newsletters. Seems the sole purpose of the email was to hype the pending tour announcement and give people a final "told you so" to get their memberships up to date.

    It wasn't like they had content in there for a typical "tenth" newsletter that they didn't want to get lost with tour news. So, the tour email *could* be coming Monday, or it could be coming any other time before then.

    My pointless prediction:

    They send out an email with a few dates. "These will be the only tour dates for 2023."

    Some fan: "What about Europe/Australia/my country?"

    Can’t see them going out for less than 15 shows doesn’t make sense with the crew the stage that stuff I’m really hoping after years of hoping we get maybe 25 to 30?

    I don't know how much of you folks keep up with Tik Tok, but I've been watching live Taylor Swift concerts as they are happening in real time from concertgoers and the production/sound has been awesome.

    I'm sure I will catch some PJ shows live via Tik Tok this tour.

    Are PJ fans young enough to be on TikTok?

    Periscope was the shiz and it wasn't connected to China.
    I am not young and I am on tiktok. What’s your point? 
    I have no patience for bad music and stupid people...

    The whole world will be different soon the whole world will be RELIEVED
