London cancelled

Sorry to all of you that are affected. Really sucks. Atleast London isn't a bad city to be stranded in. Hope yall can try to make the best of this. 

Just looked at the O2 schedule thinking if they sold 30k tickets at Spurs, then they could fill 2 nights at the O2 without behind the stage….but man, that schedule is packed!

Man. You have to wonder if this is the last tour. It just seems like the toll of being on the road is too great on Ed (as times). Hopefully he can rally and no more dates are missed, but it’s a very concerning development for the future. 

Sad day. 

Although Ed was ill on Tuesday, the cancellation might be due to someone else in the band getting sick. This bug going around at the moment is pretty rotten.

I got the merch including all 4 prints about 30 minutes before the cancelation. I’m still glad I got what I did and I support these artists. Not their fault it was canceled and they put a lot of work into these. 

Going to see Green Day at Wembley now. Not the same but not bad either. 

Those purchases will unfortunately not support those artists. They make their money on their AP sales, which I expect may be a little tough going. 

Hopefully there can be something done on PJS side to make sure these artists are paid, especially if APs fall flat 

If the APs fall flat, thats on the artist and their design, especially for these 4 prints.  The brain toilet mouth poster is one of the worst concert posters I have ever seen.

i would agree but I wonder how many people want a poster for a concert that did not happen? I have my indy one from last year I will likely do nothing with (wasnt crazy about it anyways)

I have a portfolio folder for a lot of the prints that aren’t my favs. It’s fun to flip through. They all have stories…even the ones for the canceled shows. 

Just seeing this now… feeling terrible for all that had tickets.  Both the locals who’ve been waiting for a show and for those who made travel plans…. Hoping no one is out too much money and is able to still enjoy the sights in a fantastic city if you’ve been locked into your travel plans.  

First things first....people get sick.  Bruce got sick.  The Stones got sick. People are still dealing with long Covid.  But they just put out a great new album, and one they are very energized to play.   Based on recent comments, I still see 1-2, maybe even 3 albums from these guys. At least.   So, it is what it is.  Older immune systems prob need to quit smoking, esp for something like being a singer.    We all just want them healthy overall. So while this sucks for people who had tickets, they arent 28 years old anymore and arent invincible.  Expect a cancellation every now and again.  They may need to rethink the way they travel, maybe have some lead-time before they play their first gig, after arriving in Europe, etc.  Still too much fun and too much money to be made. 

I still dont think they would ever "quit".  I think they would continue to operate as Pearl Jam, operate the 10C, still tour places they know will sell out and still put out albums and songs.  I still see them doing their own things for a while too. It will probably just look different once they get a little bit older.   

So i dont think this occurrence is any reason to jump to conclusions.  But at the same time, I would not be totally surprised if they altered the way they did things a bit, and so forth.

Also, are they still selling the merch?  I was in line there and bought it with tons of other folks while this announcement was dropping 

Says on insta they’ll be closing at 5pm today. However, I came out just before 1pm from getting my purchase, & there was no queue outside the building. Could’ve just gone around & straight back in 😬
Really wasn’t busy at all…

I think the altering has already taken place, no?  Fewer cities, less travel, more expensive tickets and shorter, more predictable setlists.  I agree that they probably wont ever completely quit, but they have surely entered their endgame/cruise control era.

Wow, that’s some positive attitude you have.
I’d be furious spending £120 on posters for shows that don’t even happen and asking for a refund in that.

For what it's worth, the best PJ poster I own or will ever own is from a cancelled show.
