Yeah, I haven't heard much on DC this year. It's very odd. Usually that one gets locked in well before announcement.

I guess maybe the other possibility is some people know but “we” don’t because they’ve asked or been asked to keep that info quiet for now. Someone knows for sure, but for whatever reason he/she can’t share just yet.

I hear ya though, believe me. I want to start mapping out my 2020 tour yesterday. Maybe even the month before yesterday!

Few things based on skimming the last 15 pages or so...
Dave will never do a full blown solo tour as long as Tim is alive
Scalpers are not going to be stopped via digital tickets and all the stuff recommended because there is too much money in it for the artist with tic being sold that otherwise wouldn’t be among other reasons. Same reason Warehouse doesn’t let you opt out of uppers.
If the tour is longer than normal, it seems that a bunch of “new” stops must be coming with all the ones being talked about skipping and stuff

Either at Isleta Amphitheater in Albuquerque or a Dave & Tim show at the Santa Fe Opera (a great outdoor venue that only has concerts in September). Tim lived in Santa Fe for some time, and DMB have a history in New Mexico in early years, so perhaps hoping for September NM stop on their southern swing is not crazy...

Not crazy at all.

the pushing out of tour really makes me think there's a vote for [no] change style component of September/October.

Pure speculation... national debates will be at Notre Dame, U of M, and Belmont--- wouldn't be surprised to see something back through the midwest that time of year, which could result in a Little Caesars date to explain the rumored summer skip of DTE. Personally, i still think DTE could be on the traditional swing back from chicago/DC towards spac, but a Sept/Oct show downtown would seemingly fit.

The 21st still scheduled for announcement day?

Maybe the whole thing with the lantern festival Sleepybear was taking reservations for before it was debunked along with Fourth of July being open for both the band and venue might have been enough to give people some pause?

FWIW, I’m still convinced it’s June 19-20. Those are the dates I’ve been hearing for weeks and someone at a nearby hotel told me rates were higher that weekend for a concert.

Really hoping for Deer Creek to still get July 3-4. Everything we have is pointing to the original June 19-20 though.

I have this weird feeling that Summerfest ends up July 4. That day is still open for them and it lines up with the rumor that DMB's Summerfest date is "closer to the second weekend".. Just a hunch I have. I'm fine with not having to travel on the 4th, but I love spending that weekend camping/vacationing with 2 shows. Hopefully only a few more days until we know.

It’s not July 4th.

Super excited for the tour announcement, hoping to hit some new venues this summer!

I'd definitely take some KC and Tulsa shows though.

Pearl Jam presale offered a $10 charge (total) to receive hard tickets for every show you receive. They are not valid for admission and you receive after the show via mail.

I did that for the Fenway show.


Wasn’t worth it

Just hope Bristow stands and is still a weekend. Would be awesome for the MPP chatter to come to fruition as well. Also liking the later in the year talk for the tour, I personally like a late summer swing rather than a spring run.

Did I read in this thread that the ATL date will be Music Midtown? If so that blows

No, that was never a rumor. When the info came out about the tour routing being different and the south being later than usual someone asked if that put midtown in play. It was never a rumor.

Do you really have to do your Hilly-schtick in this thread, too? I get it, you like to troll, but could you do it elsewhere?

Visit the site and check out where they'll never play but should.

saw black violin there the day before dmb in nashville last year, absolutely incredible place for a concert. first thought as i got into the cave was "this should be a dave/tim stop"

[waskydan]

To those who have gotten good info from various sources, next Tuesday 1/21 still look good?

I wish I kept/did not lose every show. Lost a Phish ticket this year. Who knows how many I have misplaced over the years.

Sadly, I am missing many as well.

So just for the heck of it, and I know you can't give us the date, I am thinking Rodgers is September 15th. Am I close?

Now that my 2 versions of fake dates are now pretty off in the back half of the tour, just trying to piece some dates together.

Whoa, what's wrong with Pilgrimage? We went this past year for Foo Fighters and thought it was an excellent festival. Traffic getting out was a little nuts but no worse than most venues.

This past year was really hot but once the sun went down it was great. I know they had some severe storms in the past that cancelled it but that's way out of their hands. I thought it was an excellently run festival. Great music, good crowds, great grounds.
