Sigh. Is it to too much to hope they’ll hit the Xfinity in Hartford? Not looking forward to another long drive to Mansfield.

[fortheloveofgod]

Mansfield also confirmed in the NIN teaser.

Add Jiffy Lube Live in VA or Meriweather in MD for DC date

[botley]

I think Osheaga would be more likely, but we'll see.

Molson Ampitheatre, Toronto

Can someone change the thread title? Toronto's not in the U.S.A.

First Midwest Bank Ampitheater, tinley park, il

hands down the WORST concert venue in the united states....if true, extremely unfortunate. it's a surprise bands still choose to play here after all the awful feedback it constantly receives in the Chicago area.

yeah, when i saw peaches/bauhaus/nin there back in 2006(?) it was ABOMINABLE. and i had seen shows there before, and i think i've gone once or twice since. it literally is one of the worst venues in the entire country. NOTHING sounds good there. i don't understand why they're playing there. at all.

Maybe he didn't want a repeat of "I figured we were on a summer tour, I didn't bring my ski mask" from when they played the then Charter One Pavillion?

With the expansion & change to FirstMerit Bank Pavilion the capacity is slightly higher than First Midwest.

agreed...it's too bad, bc this venue is so terrible i'll bail on this show. i've been to first midwest prob a dozen times and each time I told myself i'd never go back (no tailgating, sightlines are a joke and the acoustics are terrible)....i've stuck to my guns for 3 yrs. i'll never return, really disappointing.

It's already been identified as Planet Hollywood. PH Live is one of the photos in the Soundgarden video.

Ahh, I didn't see the SG video. That does make the most sense. Hopefully there will be 2 shows. The final show to the WT tour was there in 06 and what a killer show it was!

Another smaller show for Vegas... why does Las Vegas always get special treatments on his tours?

Las Vegas is one of the smallest markets for being a "major market". the population of LV is just over 2 million hence the smaller venues (but sometimes multiple nights)

Right, they don't have bigger venues, but many large tours skip Vegas completely. NIN seems to hit it nearly every single tour, it's unusual.

Yeah I guess that's true. I see quite a few shows in Vegas these days and pretty much everyone I've wanted to see in the last few years has hit Vegas.

32. Griffith Observatory, Los Angeles, CA

I think they are referring to the Greek Theater which is below the Griffith Observatory.

11. Best guess for this image: Nine Inch Nails

Heh. Some of these are probably unidentifiable, but I left them in in case they are distinctive to locals.

If this is true... I'm going to sit this one out. I like Soundgarden but not enough to make me sit and listen to them just so I can wait for NIN.

They're almost all seated venues, you don't need to show up early when you're not in GA.

Los Angeles, CA (Gibson Amphitheatre? Hollywood Bowl?)

That auction listing said Hollywood Bowl.

[skullboy0]

That auction listing said Hollywood Bowl.

& the Gibson was closed & demolished last year to make room for expansion of Universal Studios Hollywood's theme park.

(what can I say, I'm a theme park junkie)

[TheBang]

This is just pure conjecture on my part, and the full list of venues may not be complete. But here is my guess at what the tour route could look like.

	Tinley Park, IL	First Midwest Bank Amphitheatre
	Clarkston, MI	DTE Energy Music Theatre
	Toronto, ON	Molson Amphitheatre
7/29	Mansfield, MA	Xfinity Center
8/1	Wantagh, NY	Nikon at Jones Beach Theater
	Holmdel, NJ	PNC Bank Arts Center
	Xfinity Live!	Philadelphia, PA
	Columbia, MD	Merriweather Post Pavilion
8/5	Virginia Beach, VA	Farm Bureau Live at Virginia Beach
8/7	Charlotte, NC	PNC Music Pavilion
8/8	Lakewood, GA	Aaron's Amphitheatre
	Tampa, FL	MIDFLORIDA Credit Union Amphitheatre
	Bonner Springs, KS	Cricket Wireless Amphitheater
	The Woodlands, TX	Cynthia Woods Mitchell Pavilion
	Austin, TX	The Austin360 Amphitheater
8/17	Dallas, TX	Gexa Energy Pavilion
	Morrison, CO	Red Rocks Amphitheatre
	Albuquerque, NM	Isleta Amphitheater
	Las Vegas, NV	The AXIS at Planet Hollywood Resort & Casino
8/24	Mountain View, CA	Shoreline Amphitheatre

The Axis at Planet Hollywood is where Brittney Spears is the resident performer. I heard they took out a ton of seats to accommodate her "set", but there are plenty of open dates for the theater, all of which are mid-week.

I wish they were doing amphitheatres with Britney. At least then they would be touring with someone who has a modicum of talent.

Are you saying that Spears has more talent than Soundgarden?

[slave2thewage]

Absolutely. Defining figure in pop music vs generic 90s rock. You do the math.

I was in the middle of writing a lengthy reply when I decided not to--your post is just too absurd to really take seriously.

[DonkeyBoner42]

Would it not be safe to assume 2 nights at RED ROCKS (capacity 9,500) Every other venue outside of Las Vegas is in the 20,000 or more range. Definitely interested in flying in for 2 nights at Red Rocks and purchasing some legal THC infused edibles.
