    Lollapalooza is also creeping this direction and I will 100% never go to a festival that does that. That’s complete BS.

    That’s the great thing about Ohana.  Ordinary GA has access to the best spots.

    Does it include the chance to buy 300 level tickets?  Haha.
    I've seen quite a few Pearl Jam shows.

    Indeed! With membership you still get a "Deep⬇️" shirt only it is a variant. "Deeper⬇️" and the arrow goes further down the front AND back of the shirt.

    It’s getting juicy. If they really do Florida, Jazz, Atlanta, NC, Pitt, Ohio, Michigan, and Canada…..the only shows I might miss are the festivals. Are they allowed to announce shows without the festival? Just thinking…PJ has a legend of announcing shows last minute, but if they suddenly decided to announce in December, can they if they have contracts with festivals announcing in Jan?

    Most of the time for most bands tour announcements are separate from festival announcements. I think PJ usually tries to coordinate, and has the clout to pull it off most of the time, but the announcements absolutely could be separate.

    "Super VIP"  lol wtf

    I worked an event one time that was rumored to have VVVIPs in attendance.

    They were all considered "heads of state or their designees."

    Super VIP? Weird. Why not just go "silver" and "gold" or such?

    If memory serves, 2024 festival PJ shows were announced in December 2023 (Eg bottlerock), whereas non festival shows were announced in Feb.

    I think that is pretty much playing 2 nights in Austin and selling a ton of PJ Premium to venture capital dudes in Patagonia vests.

    Eddie and the band like more than one day off between cities.

    I remember in 2016 the Jazzfest lineup and PJ tour announcement dropped on the same day

    So still no real rumors. There are always holds, talks, and social media chatter. It really does not mean anything. I don't get the hate for festivals. Enjoy the holidays with friends and family and be ready for a Q1 2025 announcement if they are playing in 2025.

    1. Last time PJ played Jazzfest they played 26 songs which on average is more than they’ve usually played this year. The set is also during the day and probably wont have any visuals on stage. 

    2. A ticket per day to jazzfest averages about $100. I don’t think you could get in a building for under $100 on the US legs of the DM tour this year. 

    3. Thousands of PJ fans singing along. I don’t see a problem, but i know where you’re coming from. 

    4. Whats not to love about coming down to NOLA?

    1. That was 2016. The headlining shows I saw that year had 10 more songs and ran an extra hour.

    2. God bless Jazz Fest being an outlier on this front.

    3. Every Pearl Jam show I go to has thousands of fans singing.

    4. I love New Orleans and was there most recently in March. If it's not my favorite American city, it's unquestionably Top 3. I would much rather have a sick dinner then hit Maple Leaf, Tipi's, etc. over a few nights while I'm there than go to a big festival.

    But three days of good fun. Tons of live music with friends. Yes we all want PJ in an intimate place but so what? Just have fun.

    For that kind of scene I prefer something like a My Morning Jacket multi-night run.

    I dig a festival if it's small and curated well. This year will be my 15th Newport Folk Fest. A lot of these bigger ones are just not run well though.
