I rejoined 3 weeks ago due to fomo. Got my 2 tixs to Melbourne, guess I can cancel the membership again now! Actually, better wait in case of 2nd show announcements...

Or Perth Nov 28. That’d be something.

What is remarkably odd is the there are 3 blocks of 3 week tours this year, then 1 x 2 week block.

Canada/West Coast - 11 shows (26 days)
Europe - 9 shows (21 days)
US East - 11 shows (26 days)
NZ/Aust - 4 shows (13 days)

It seems that they could easily do the rumoured shows in Aust/NZ plus 3-4 more (Adelaide, Perth, Newcastle, Brisbane) or Japan for 3-4 shows.

I read some article the other day where one of the show producers/coordinators in Aus said that PJ were "only playing the 3 cities in Australia this tour" or something like that. Don't think there's much hope of anything other than an additional show in the 2 usual big smokes.

It just seems so half-arsed.

This might be the way to go. Sign up when you hear rumours of a tour.
I've been a member since the 90s - when it was worthwhile - but seniority doesn't mean shit in standing areas.
Otherwise membership is a rip. Kinda like those expensive vault vinyl releases we already have brilliant copies of. Release something we don't have you bastards!!!!

C'mon people buy the night 1 tickets already.
Need to see if night 2 announced so I can go about my day.

Finally night 2 is up. The 23rd.
Grabbed Golden Cricle again.
I am assuming that is it. Done now and am broke but can go about my day.

Night 2 is UP.

Night 2 is hard core too. Brad and I are IN.

Gonna be cool to be at the final two shows of a world tour - hasn't happened in this country before.

Little known fact: PJ were booked for the 2001 Big Day Out in what would have been the final Binaural era shows, but this was obviously cancelled (along with all other festival shows) after Roskilde.

As a further sad footnote, the 2001 BDO headliner ended up being Limp Bizkit and a fan was crushed to death during their set at the Sydney show.

I was at that BDO. Not anywhere near the Main stage.

Golden Circle for Night 2 secured.

Aaaaand I'm now eating rice but no beans.

Getting pretty close now. Glad I've got both nights.

Ditto! Looking forward to catching up. Been a long time between drinks/tours (10 years in fact )

Someone started a campaign in Auckland requesting Vitalogy in full on this tour - the only of the Pre-RAMG albums not to be done yet.

I don't think any of the other full-album shows have been done at stadium shows, but Vitalogy is definitely one that would go down well with a large Aussie crowd as it has heaps of regularly played hits.

It's also Vitalogy's 30th anniversary on the day between the two Sydney shows so might not be that far-fetched

I don't want to have expectations but it seems we'll get about 7 DMs, 2 Gigs at least over the 2 nights. There's a handful of early tracks I'd love to hear but the icing would be Binaural and Riot Act tracks.

A full Vitalogy however would be insane.
