    If the "big" news is truly only ~10-15 shows then maybe the shows will be extra special in some way...just a thought.

    Same. If the rumors hold true this is the third leg of US dates in support of Gigaton and the entire east coast of the US has gotten TWO. New England, exactly zero. I’m going to be a bit salty if multiple Midwest cities get more than one date and the most populated region of the country had to fight over one show at MSG and one in Camden.

    To be very clear: they don’t owe us anything. They’ve given us a ton for 3 decades plus. If they want a light year where they plug away on an album and play minimal dates, they have every right to. They’ve earned it. 
    But…
    maybe don’t put “big things are coming” in my inbox if that’s the year you are planning.

    10-15 would be a pretty normal tour for them not sure why they'd do something to make them extra special then they would a normal show.

    Maybe each show will be an album show with the album of choice played in its entirety. Something like that. That would definitely get people to travel to multiple shows.

    I also think it's worth a reminder that a "light year" only applies to them as a group. The guys are all doing their own thing the rest of the year with Stone and Jeff on tour now. Matt maybe maybe not doing some Foo stuff, Mike doing some Rockfords stuff, Eddie is always doing random stuff, plus maybe some studio time too. 

    The April Roundup email saying big things are coming is a positive. They're playing shows and that's great news. We'll find out soon enough.

    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
    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

    There is every reason to be excited at this point.  There is no reason to be disappointed.  Going from no news to this news, "big things" could mean anything.  

    If they did 3 shows, those are big things by comparison.  People expecting a dozen or more shows need to temper some expectations a bit. Looks like things are happening.  We know they are working on an album, and thats exciting.  They look like they are going from no shows to some shows, so that's exciting.  And with a new album, there will indeed be touring for that as well, so that exciting, even if that is next year.  So, its all coming.  Just enjoy the hype, but its way too early to be pre-disappointed.

    New album would be great! So few shows supporting Gigaton not so great. Would love more shows with a Gigaton focus personally. 

    I at least thought more hints or hype were going to be pushed out if it wasn’t the dates right away.

    Not asking for any. But I’m happy that you’ll get shows. I’ve never had the luxury of seeing them in my home state so congrats. Me wanting shows closer to home doesn’t mean you shouldn’t want shows too. Have a good one.

    I think they’re working on an album, based on the tiniest bits of info.

    I still think the album will be released around the time of the tour (or just after). Sort of fits in with the way the band was so quiet in the last 3-4 months, the snippets from Andrew Watt etc. Plus lead time on vinyl production is around 6 months? Falls nicely with a September/October tour.

    I'll be surprised if there is an album release this year. Pleasantly so, but still surprised.

    Such as them saying they're working on an album? Heh. They're definitely working on one, but it might not necessarily be released this year.
