Did Joel just casually leak that some EU dates were coming up?

A friend on X (formerly twitter) was tweeting about hitting Portugal/Spain KGLW dates (5/18 - 5/25) and Joel replied:

“Great idea name. Lisbon is spectacular (lol @AlexTheDictator) Take a day trip to Sintra. Make sure you leave some time on the front end of this trip too, you may want to extend it. You’ll know what I mean in a few weeks.”

Maybe they will bring back a Jam in the Dam type of event

I’d be happy with just Harpa round 2 tbh. Hope you’re right, tho.

5166

maybe joel is just pimping on behalf of musical soujourns. sure, he’ll be playing the Argentinian date, and not in Portugal. but we know Joel is a company man and possibly not outside his realm to promote this

5167

I don’t get it.

hell yeah. I might consider doing gizz Barcelona and if UM is playing before hand in the same country might make it extra worth it for me

Oh fuck the “wife” and I are planning a Spain/Portugal trip next summer. May have to bump it up if this is happening

This is a good suggestion as well. Hope you’re wrong.

I thought you frequently pro-travel’d there? I probably fumbled the recurring joke.

I have been twice in the past two years which is probably above average for your typical American.

I, too, am above average for your typical American.

i think i am wrong, because musical sourjourn doesn’t appear to be happening during may

What did you pay for flights on average. Honestly might go the Iceland air route for that free extended layover thing they do and hit some stuff up. I wish I could just spend a month in Iceland.

Two years ago was an immediate post-COVID world and flights were cheap affordable for international. Around $700 round trip. This most recent trip was $1100 round trip. That was a direct flight from San Francisco to Lisbon.

Iceland is my favorite country I’ve ever visited. Place is awesome.

It’s truly fucking magical. I want to rent a camper van and just explore

the highest praise by multiple guests whenever it’s mentioned on Ari Shaffir’s You Be Trippin’

Dan Soder’s Iceland episode was A+

We’ll always try to do a couple days in Iceland on the way to wherever we go in EU from now on. It’s just so easy and nice to break up the trip, nevermind it being an absolutely top tier destination in its own right.

They don’t have any 2025 dates though. It could easily be their next round. I still, truly, hope you’re wrong though.

I would love some international dates next year or bring back Holidaze.
