I think there was a huge missed opportunity by the band by not dressing up in Star Trek-style uniforms for a photo shoot, or art print.

While I would love nothing more than a Touring Band 2024-2025 with maybe 50 songs (or 35 for 35 years), I will purely guess a Danny Clinch photo book. He was at a bunch of shows.

Wowzers!
A biopic on the same fans up front? (I kid, I kid!!!)
A new line of adult diapers? For those who wait in line all day and "lose the game" never worry about Running again with this Something Special. Incontinence problems? Always have the Upper Hand with these Dark Matter adult diapers. Get yours now!

Different medium.
We finally get the PJ video game!!! Play as your favorite band member in different eras and stages until finally reaching the big boss, the head of Ticketmaster. They can never defeat him, but it sure would be fun to try.

I don’t know what’s more exciting: this DM news or my Panthers being (hopefully) 2 more periods away from winning the Cup. Don’t want to get my hopes up too much for either. I was at Game 4, so I know this is far from over.
I’m super excited about the prospects of both, though!! Thanks for the info, Pacer.

Is it time for an official 2026 tour rumours thread yet ? or do we at least need an official rumour first to do so ? hmmmmm
I was planning to wait until the Earthlings dates were announced. That could change.
seems to be nailed on that they will be in this thread but it would be lovely to start gossiping about next year too. It gives me that little extra purpose in life
