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

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.

Sorry absolutely no sympathy for you.

Sincerely,
Texas

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.

Thanks, fingers crossed. Anything can happen with this band. The hints could just be a massive mindfuc for all we know!

It's a week long April Fools joke.

But…
maybe don’t put “big things are coming” in my inbox if that’s the year you are planning.

It's a sales pitch to non-10 Club members. I get emails constantly for big clearance sales, then click the link to find the deals are only 10% off regular prices. Santos could also say "sign up now for a chance to purchase member only items like long sold out posters" then the eventual poster drop could be posters not currently in the shop like the baby brain, McDonalds Clown and ManBearPig. Current members would be let down with the excitement thinking a Pitt 13 was coming, but its just a sales pitch to sign up new members. One person's "big thing" is another's disappointment.

Help me out with something. The reason I noticed the Kia Forum slide on Saturday was because when I first looked at it, it looked like the seats at the MGM Grand Garden Arena. But then I noticed the sign on the wall that clearly says Kia Forum. However, when I look at photos of the Forum, the seats appear to be red. Did they just change over to teal seats in the last couple years?

DEGBTI · April 2023

serious question, if they had a bunch of songs already, which I seem to remember about the time Gigaton came out there was talk about a double album or something like that, and they started recording the first of this year, why is it odd they could at least announce a new album for this fall? Does it take a couple years to record, produce and release? Not to mention the release could be digital with vinyl a few months later.

So, I'm making my prediction to "big things" are, a fall tour, record release and a world tour in 2024 with the dates to be determined. Stamp it!

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.

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.

Same. After all these years I do not get hyped up about PJ announcements. I have been lucky enough to see plenty of great shows. If they come near me or if they are playing somewhere I am going, great. If not no worries. I have generally been slowing down on concerts with the prices getting so expensive.

I get that, but I'm not there. My daughter is almost 16. She has been to see PJ in Rome, Nashville and B&B and she is excited about the possibility of getting to go to another show....so that increases my excitement

There's alot of aussies cursing you right now.

PJNB · April 2023

A new album does not excite me at all.

New shows that come with a new album? Sure.

New shows period? Every time.

Eddieshometown · April 2023

I heard they won’t announce tour dates until this thread reaches 200 pages

Agree. If Gigaton was erased from existence I wouldn't give it a second thought. Fine songs on it, but give me the live shows.

Agreed. Nothing will ever replace those first five albums. Just give me live shows with diverse setlists that exclude you are.

Gigaton never had time to grow on me and the songs never had a chance to gel live. I think about Lightning Bolt which sounded roooough that first performance at Wrigley in 2013. Over time it became a live gem.

evenflow82 · April 2023

I think the term "big news" is being overblown. In a capitalist society things are marketed as big, new, amazing, etc when they are usually just normal. Big is a generic adjective that gets carelessly thrown around all the time.

With that said, I hope it is a big tour with longer sets, cool merchandise and at beautiful venues but am keeping my expectations realistic and not pinning my dreams to one word. Glad they will be out playing some shows!

I get it. My kids are not into rock music at all but that would definitely add excitement to it. Add PJ to a family trip and that is about as good as it gets.

Perhaps I'm in minority, I still enjoy the excitement of new material - new albums and shows heavier on newer songs. If indeed the "Big News" is new album and limited tour, it'll be a shame (imo) if the Gigaton tunes fall off setlists so soon.

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.

Home/away had four.
