What's the rumored Atlanta date?

to be honest , there are no real rumous besides "some shows"

Someone posted 4/29 and either 4/30 or 5/1 for Atlanta.  There is now way of knowing if that person has real info or was just throwing something out there.  

Only person reliable nowadays is Facemeltor and he´s been silent.

Dimitris no longer says anything but i bet he knows for sure

Facemeltor is great.  I have heard occasional tips from others that have been right.  And when a total unknown posts possible Atlanta dates I’m not going to risk any money on it but would I book a room I could later cancel? You bet!

Hope  Ohio or Michigan get something too

I think the important part is it's still too early for solid leaks, but it seems it'll be the south or great lakes (but it could be a bit of both over the course of the year, for all anyone knows.)

If the Great Lakes region gets involved, it could be Cleveland and Detroit up to Milwaukee. No Chicago, for those who would be curious.

I think they'd be stupid not to play Europe.

Earlier on, someone posted how "DM has legs" and that seems to be a credible point. This won't be like Gigaton where it was a short tour (although they couldn't tour until almost two years later.) This could be more like Lightning Bolt.

Another important thing:

99.99% of people in team front offices don't know anything that isn't already public. The exception is what they know, but obviously can't tell random callers...just like anyone else with their job.

Even if you (the reader here) know something about your job, maybe you've been sworn to secrecy where you can't even tell your family until a certain date.

...I feel like we're about to reach the phase where fans call up ticket reps.

If a non residency North American run happens in ‘25 will they be Dark Matter tour or non album shows? 🤔 

I’d anticipate 3-4 DM songs per night, down from 6-7.  

So my chances of hearing Got To Give live next year decreases. Damn!

I’m not sure I understand your comment re: “venues don’t know anything the exception being what they do know” because holds for venues are made 6-9 months in advance and the venues sign NDAs.

The employees...the ticket representatives probably don't know anything.

If/when they do, they're not gonna tell the public. They *may* tell close confidants, but if I call up some FO somewhere and say that I heard a rumor about ______, they're just gonna point me to the website or Ticketmaster.

"Hey, FO representative. I heard you're real close to signing ______ to a new contract. Is this true?"

They're gonna have no comment other than "read the website" or "I've heard similar and I hope so." In other words, a hot bunch of nothing.

And yeah, the employees may occasionally get inside info about "this is about to be announced real soon" but they're not gonna tell anyone. I've known inside info for other things, but could only talk about it with other staff/insiders at those places.

Example: Years ago, I once heard inside info about a coach who was "going to be fired within 2-3 games." I couldn't tell anyone, but I had that hot tip.

In other words, calling up the Pistons/Cubs/Penguins/Saints/Texans FO and asking about "Pearl Jam on ______ 18th" they're gonna say "that's a new one."
