2016 Tour Rumors

[hlniv]

Rumor has it that PJ will be doing a 1%-ers tour with dates that coincide with the birthday parties of their favorite oligarchs that have homes in:

Telluride, CO
Aspen, CO
Park City, UT
Beverly Hills, CA
East Hampton, NY
Martha's Vineyard, MA
Greenwich, CT

Rock n Roll 4 ever fight the system

How many poor people are there in Telluride, I wonder?

Lots of hysteria on the pit regarding a supposed flash of West Coasts dates on facebook.

I took a peek and didn't see anything.

Gracias. I'm really trying not to stress about speculation. I'll believe it when I see it but Goddamn I hope it's true.

[Bammer]

So I've done a shit job of not stressing/obsessing over this.

There is a month gap prior to Bonnaroo. There is a month gap prior to Telluride. There is a month gap prior to Fenway. And the current schedule ends by mid-August.

Hauling all the gear from Canada to Tennessee to Colorado then to Massachusetts doesn't take a month in between each time and that's a long way to go for just a few shows, especially Colorado.

[Birds in Hell]

I'm pretty sure there is going to be more shows.

[Strat]

Red rocks and a new album please.

PJ are only touring this year because it is an election year and they share a demographic with Donald Trump: ass-breathed white men. So they need to get the word out to their constituents that they should be voting for an ass-faced white woman

[JudgeSmails]

Ya glad they are touring this year otherwise I wouldn't know who to vote for in November. I enjoy getting my voting advice from millionaire rock stars. What better source is there.

For the gaps between shows. They don't have to bring much equipment to the festival shows. Festival provides most of it. Not like a regular tour where they have a caravan of trucks. Not sure how the baseball stadium shows work. Hopefully they'll add a few more shows though.

To what scale? I would want my own equipment.

Are you basically talking about the house PA system?

[JudgeSmails]

The band will of course bring their own mics and amps and pedals on stage. But I'm referring to they don't have to provide speaker stacks or mixing equipment. I base most of my info on this article I read a while back. But I believe the attraction of the festival circuit are the big paydays and the relatively minimal set up work...or I could be f'd in the head.

Pearl Jam's setup is weak anyway.

"Besides Luke Bryan, US Bank Stadium to host rock concert before #Vikings August debut. My blind dart at the wall says Pearl Jam"


Seems unlikely given that it's less than a day's drive from Wrigley, but you never know.

Damn. I'd probably have to fly home for that one too!

WHY IS BEING A PJ FAN SO EXPENSIVE

[tragabigzanda]

pearl jam sucks now

“We don’t have any plans for PJ25. And I think largely because PJ20 really does almost feel like it was last year. That’s how fast time goes at this point. Going out and playing shows, having people show up, having our fans be so great and so engaged in the shows—all the shows that we play feel like celebrations. I’m enjoying acknowledging that on stage more than I ever have and really taking that in and being humbled by it. Being really proud of what we’ve created as a band and the decisions that we’ve made. That’s the PJ25 answer." Jeff Ament in PopMatters

He also stated at least 1 more show would be announced.

[LetMeSleep]

He also stated at least 1 more show would be announced.

That might be the dozen shows in Australia and NZ in November.

Maybe he forgot Ride was announced.
