    Not really. I mean, at this point, it seems all but officially confirmed what we're getting. And we're all already aware of it.
    Who knows, they may have put those codes out there intentionally to shut us up. "Here's your fucking dates. Now chill out until we make an official announcement."

    9 shows in 5 cities would be an odd tour regardless of geography 
    Exactly.

    I have no inside knowledge, but I think by this time next week we will have seen these shows announced.

    Is it possible these cities were previously targeted as part of a larger Gigaton tour 2020/2021, preCovid? And they're catching up now? 
    Feels like they plug in well with Leg 2 last year.

    Is it the original 99X? Very cool station back in the day. Leslie Framm on the morning show has music connections. Jack White was their first guest on the reunited morning show recently.
    Yes, that is the station and that is the show I heard this on.

    I’ve seen this theory before but a 2nd leg in 2020 would have been election-year themed: Swing states (Ohio, Penn, Michigan, Wisconsin, etc), prob Missoula to stump for Jon Tester, places like that. If next year is indeed a new album tour those places make more sense then when it’s election time again.

    Chicago, United Center, was on the list for 2nd leg in 2020.  I had confirmation from same person in box office that gave me the September 5th and 7th dates this year.

    Fair enough, I’m certain they would have hit Chicago. But I doubt this is the same overall itinerary, just a couple overlaps. Their election year routing is one of the few touring details that is still pretty predictable

    Still mad I missed the beginning of Band of Horses set because they wouldn't let us in because of the tornado warning.  So I had to go wait it out in my tent across the street........how was that better than entering the show??  Well.........I guess the beer cost was way less.

    My guess: Liability if you got zapped on their property vs being on your own.

    That could still mean the same. And b/c of COVID and now like you said 2024, they'll hit those up next year.

    Well, Friday the 14th is off by one day.

    Unfortunately, there's no Friday the 13th until October.

    Not really. I posted this many, many, many pages ago.

    Second halves of recent election years:

    2022 - A short run of September shows, done by October
    2020 - Supposedly there were plans, but nothing was ever announced and it was wiped out by COVID
    2018 - A few summer shows, done by September
    2016 - A few summer shows, done by September
    2014 - An October run of shows
    2012 - Three September festivals, a Jon Tester benefit in Missoula, and an Oracle secret show in early October - Ed on the road in November and early December making up shows originally scheduled for May
    2010 - Two Bridge School dates in late October
    2008 - No Pearl Jam shows, Ed on the road in August

    I will say, although there had been no real rumors, I'm honestly surprised that (it appears) they really aren't playing Alpine over Labor Day Weekend. Everything seemed to make sense. They played PJ20 at Alpine over Labor Day. They had that possible gap between St Paul and Chicago over Labor Day. St Paul really has never seemed to me like a 2-show market. Alpine has been promising more to come, despite the fact that they still only have one show scheduled for the entire year. Plus, we also had someone here claiming one of the slides in the April Fools video was a shot from Alpine.

    I guess it was all just wishful thinking on my part.

    During their 2006 tour, they did 10 shows in 6 cities

    And 6 of those shows were opening for Tom Petty

    I wonder who Pearl Jam will be opening for on this tour?

    I'm with you, I live in the Milwaukee area and Alpine has been ticking me off for a good decade now...it's such a fantastic music venue, I just do not understand why they don't book more acts, and it's gotten even worse since Live Nation has taken over.  Way back in college I worked security there (basically to see free shows) and I still get pleading emails from them looking for part time workers for the season, but like for what? Literally one show scheduled right now for the whole season, no wonder they can't find even college kids to help out with parking, vending, etc., it would literally be 8 hours of work for the entire season as it stands.

    Yeah, it’s strange that this idea persists when the only real time a tour was geared around an election was VFC 2004. It’s usually just a show here or there like Missoula 18.
