The Official 2025 Tour Rumor Thread

PJ should play a Euro-stint of only festivals next summer...I could agree to that only if they play Rockfest in my hometown in Finland 😉

Id love to see PJ come across to Europe outside the summer months for a proper arena tour.....I know its massively unlikely to happen again but I just think it would be amazing. Festivals bring in a great pay day though and make the tours feasible it seems

Yes, it would be fun if they mixed it up a bit with the Euro tours.

If Sphere was the only 2025 shows then I would be in. I think they are past due for a Jazzfest show….

Yeah I would probably be in too for the Sphere. Though I would totally be down for a New England Pearl Jam Road Trip in 2025.

How about the Croix-Bieue in Moncton where Mickey Mouse and the rest of GnR played? Be a sweet show, the Maritimes are LONG overdue

And i Bet Mickey Mouse and the rest of GNR still played a longer show than PJ do now

Who cares, when your ears are bleeding…

If PJ does stint at the Sphere I think they are officially phoning it in. 

Your use of the word "officially" here suggests that you think that there's some real probability that they are currently, unofficially "phoning it in." Is that what you think?

Yeah, I do think they are at the end of their touring careers. Do you like to argue just for the sake of arguing?

$250-300 for a Sphere ticket would be an easy pass for me. Vegas is of zero interest to me, PJ or not.  I think the current tix at $175 are a little pricey as well. But that's where we're at.  I limited myself to two shows this year and may even sell one off as the date gets closer.  

But I'll keep my membership because in the long run, it's the only way you can potentially guarantee yourself a ticket. I don't have it in me to search all day on TM for drops and available tickets. And I'm certainly not spending the markup on other non TM sites.  

I had 8-10 friends who were excited to go to the Fenway shows in September. Only three of us got tickets (only 3 in the fanclub). The other guys didn't get chosen for the verified fan and have basically given up. They'll check again come late August/early Sept and I'm hopeful for them that there will be face value tickets available.

While I completely disagree with your position, the answer to your question is an emphatic yes

They've been fairly easy to get very close to the show for the first leg, hang tight.

Maybe they retire some songs due to difficulty to sing or play (Blood, Leash, STBC, etc).   

Ed didn't seem to have much trouble with STBC this go round, I was surprised to hear it twice in 3 shows I made it to. JimFletcherPearlJam said:

I might agree that they're winding down soon, but Andrew Watt's presence seems to have reinvigorated the band to some degree.  

Ed more than the others, I feel like. I have to think the addition of Josh (and Andrew with the Earthlings) are an attempt to infuse new energy into the band, in part so eg Stone or Mike can take a night or two off.

I dont think they would ever "quit" the band.  I think they will continue to play, as wanted, and as needed.  I am thinking they will continue to operate as a group until one of the group is no longer around anymore.  I think they would just accommodate any members.   They only want to do 10 shows?  Fine, we do 10 shows.  We only want to do an EP or something acoustic? fine, we do that.  Maybe they retire some songs due to difficulty to sing or play (Blood, Leash, STBC, etc).  

But I think they will continue to be Pearl Jam and continue to do some stuff as Pearl Jam until one of them no longer can or isnt around.  

I'm not even convinced that would stop them.  Josh seems like he's in there to be a sub if needed

It certainly possible.  That said, if one of the main 5 were to "quit" for whatever reason (or if time caught up with them), I would be surprised if they did anything as Pearl Jam after that.  Maybe some tribute concerts, etc. Not sure.
