 Never thought of that as a tour. Seven shows in a month? Those were four related but separate special events.Lost In Ohio said:nicknyr15 said:

 that a tour? I think the disappointment would finally be justified if this happens.

 I think they’re working on an album, based on the tiniest bits of info.drakeheuer14 said: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.
 The Toronto guy spilled those beans. If they weren't...and if no spring tour, then what else could they have been doing?Presidential Advice from President-Elect Mike McCready: "Are you getting something out of this all encompassing trip?"0

 No, I'm with you. I loved the three Gigaton songs I heard in St. Louis and want more. I'm bummed I'll never probably get a chance to hear a lot of songs off albums 6-11. I love all their stuff and each show is dynamic but new material makes it a lot more fun. Just my 2 cents.LaFleur said:
 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.mcgruff10 said:
 Agreed. Nothing will ever replace those first five albums. Just give me live shows with diverse setlists that exclude you are.bootlegger10 said:

 Pretty sure that happened last tour. He prematurely put something up and we didn’t get the announcement until a day or more later.Bunting10 said: Not today or this weekcan you feel this world with your heart and not your brain?0 Not today or this weekcan you feel this world with your heart and not your brain?0

 I'm in this group as well. New songs are usually a strange thing for people and sometimes they take a while to gel. But I like hearing new stuff for the first time. I like the album tours, where you get 5-6 new songs. I also like the greatest hits tours, too, where you get a bunch of crowd favorites. I like live music period, I don't care if its something obscure, something new, or Even Flow again.CP218430 said:

            Also, I will say this....some songs are best in the studio, too. Some songs just don't translate well to a live audience. But sound great on an album, in that context.Turn this anger into

            Has a tour ever been announced in the newsletter on the 10th? I cannot recall that happening.

 I don't know if it has ever happened. But that email on Monday seems so unnecessary now, unless they were getting some stuff out of the way because this coming Monday will be unusual.washed in black said:Has a tour ever been announced in the newsletter on the 10th? I cannot recall that happening.

 Jan 2020 there was no newsletter on the 10th - it was a "coming soon" message only and then album + tour announcement on the 13th. Perhaps we get similar Monday.washed in black said:Has a tour ever been announced in the newsletter on the 10th? I cannot recall that happening.

 Gigaton actually had more time to grow on me than other recent (“recent”) albums because of the delay in touring - no shows means no boots, so I think I became a lot more familiar with the studio versions of the Gigaton songs instead of replacing them more or less immediately with live versions.JimmyV said: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.Camden 2 2006, Newark 2010, Barclays 2 2013, Central Park 2015, MSG 2 2016, Wrigley 1 2016, Rome 2018, Prague 2018, Asbury Park 2021, EV & Earthlings NYC 1 2022, MSG 2022, Louisville 2022, Dublin 2024, MSG 1 2024, MSG 2 20240

 So true. I listened to Gigaton more than any album in as long as i can remember when it came out. The timing and events at the time certainly played big part in that.tdawe said:
