Joel hinted on X that by this time next week we should have some 2025 shows announced.
NE in Jan, upper Midwest in February, SE in April?
Would be cool if they played the SE when it’s cold up north and NE and the Midwest when it’s not snowing.
I seem to recall seeing UM on January in Ft Lauderdale (2012, 2 nights, I think), and it was a welcome respite from Michigan winter.
UM should flat-out skip January and start tour in the South in mid February in Florida and not play the MW/NE until mid-late March at the absolute earliest.
Also fuck top loading every year, do a proper fall tour again for the love of God.
Who has money for tour right after Christmas?
Everyone that doesn’t have kids
That’s kind of the point, it seems like a lot of old UM fans have kids now.
Upper Midwest in March would be ideal…
Dan doesn’t!
Dan and his “wife” probably buy nice gifts for their family though
We don’t buy gifts for anyone, including each other. Being married to each other is the best gift we give to one another.
Would guess WC in March as usual
Dude, killing my narrative
My man!
Oh to be back in Madison at the Orpheum
Gifts are for children. Just buy what you want for yourself and go out for nice dinners with each other and save for vacations.
I agree man. We’re not big on gifts either. We just buy each other what we want when we want it. Usually spend holiday bonuses on bills and getting ahead
I don’t think my wife and I have bought each other a XMas or Birthday gift since my kid was born 13 years ago
Really fucking hope they do a weekend at the Ryman. I’ll even take somewhere in Atlanta, Huntsville, Louisville, etc. as long as it’s on a weekend and not a one off Wednesday show in Chattanooga. They’re southeast touring lately has been bewildering
Hoping they won’t be in the SE Jan 10-12 as I booked a cruise for NFL WC Weekend. With my luck they will be in ATL that weekend…
Looking like I won’t be traveling for NYE this year so selfishly would appreciate some January dates. Hope they’re not during your cruise! Wouldn’t hate the Roxy again
