I think people need to pump the brakes on expectations this tour. If the rumours are accurate and no shows are added there are going to be a lot of disappointed people here.

5 cities? Can you even call
that a tour? I think the disappointment would finally be justified if this happens.

I think at this point any thing is considered a tour for them. They play possibly the least amount of shows of any active band that is that big of a draw. Not complaining, but maybe even 5 shows a year would be great rather than skipping whole years

It was probably a mistake to say “big things are coming” in the email unless actual big things are indeed coming. 5 Midwest cities plus a handful of festivals is not big. Hopefully there’s more to it somehow but the rumors are what they are.

Big things doesn’t have be related to a tour.

Big things can easily be a new album before the end of the year with a large tour to follow in 2024 that may not be announced in 2023.

That would be my guess....new album coming

Kind of odd to tour before a release but they have done that before as well

Maybe looking to give Gigaton it’s due before turning the page given COVID and all the related implications?

As a Neil Young fan, let me just say YES! (uses that touring model of smaller series of shows periodically).

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?

That’s an interesting thought. Maybe. Certainly was rumored. I’m not familiar enough with the venue to even assess but even so it was hard to tell.

looking like maybe

Minnesota 2 shows

would be 12-14 shows or so total and a month worth of touring

It's very unlikely that Minneapolis gets 2 shows.

I’d normally agree, just found it odd that Lost in Ohio said multiple cities getting 2 nights.

Outside of Chicago, not many cities in that clip that I’d imagine getting two nights so I don’t know.

I agree but multiple likely means 2 or 3 given that this is a 12-13 show tour max. We know Chicago is one of them. Philly is likely another if they are playing arena shows there. Who knows what the 3rd could be, if there is one.

On that note..........haven't the Red Hot Chili Peppers been on tour for over a year now?

A massive tour. Scheduled at least through July as of now

Trying to stay optimistic but as it looks eventually I'll be right there with you.

Don't think we get an announcement until next week.

I think I agree.

Kwieneke · April 2023

I’m being patient because I believe it’s coming soon but I am starting to wonder if something major happened or changed behind the scenes

I don't think anything happened...........isn't this pretty much standard procedure?

I'm just having fun... I'm enjoying this thread, and the prospect of a tour being announced, but after the last few years, it doesn't matter as much to me as it used to.

I'll either see Pearl Jam this year, or I won't.

It could be. To build the hype the way they did on Monday just made it seem like we should have had it by now, especially with no additional teasers. But I could be wrong

I don’t think you put out that video unless you’re sure you’re going.

Maybe hit a snag but derailment? No

could also want to announce Ohana at same time.

CantKeepmedown · April 2023

Yeah, expectations are extremely tempered. But the fact is, we are getting shows this year which is a good thing. None that I will be going to (I assume). But new shows means new bootlegs and new youtube videos and maybe even new songs. That's a good thing. If they make it northeast of Hartford then that's just icing on the cake.

Doug87 · April 2023

From the other thread on MMR

That breaking news dooo do do thing is a clip of Pierre that they play of him saying "breaking news" that the Preston and Steve show uses as a drop every now and then

makes total sense and throws cold water on the Black thought.

someone also mentioned Third Eye Blind for Semi Charmed Kind of Life

I'm kind of in the same boat. I was so happy to see them in OKC last year because it was drivable. That's what I'm looking for here as well. Most of the shows I've seen were in 98, 2000 or 2003. I didn't see them again until 2009 - I tend to take long breaks from seeing them because life happens. In the meantime, we've seen a ton of other bands that come to where we live. PJ is still easily one of my top 3 all time bands, but the days of me flying or driving all over the country to see them are behind me.

Would love to see them again, but if it's not doable...maybe next year.

I also agree that the "big things coming" could be an album before the end of the year.

All of that being said, the fact that these guys are still writing, recording and touring is amazing. We're a very lucky bunch.

I think a lot of us would be shocked to find out the number of last minute itinerary changes that the band has done over the years.

We know that they have a history of putting holds on multiple venues before they finalize touring plans and sometimes I am sure they have to pivot at the last minute because of something unforeseen that causes dates and/or cities to change.

A great example of this was 2016, where they had all but finalized a tour that included stops in Nashville and Atlanta. At the last minute Bonnarroo came calling (Likely with a huge financial offer that they couldn't refuse) which resulted in the cancellation of Nashville and Atlanta and some other dates being shifted.

I am looking forward to more information (from 10C)
