Looking at the venues schedule it looks like a show is every 2 weeks.
There is basically a big hole from 8/12 - 8/29.
Fits perfectly with MMJ's Philly show.
I find it also weird that there was no "official" announcement of the Philly show, so maybe they will do a quick Northeast tour before ACL. No email, nothing even on the homepage on the show.
I fully expect them to be on the road until ACL.
Stop getting my hopes up!
is WW all GA? Where would the Roll Call tickets put us?

It is an all GA venue.
They could do it one of two ways:
1. Have special tickets that let you get in 30-60 minutes before everyone else.
2. Have a roped off area in the front for the fan club.
I'm sure they want to hook the fanclub up as much as possible, but I can't imagine them scrapping a successful concert (8,000 people) because they want their fan club to have special seats.
A lot of GA places will have a sectioned off "pit" or "vip" GA section...
I don't want to jynx it by speculating about logistics for a concert that hasn't been announced yet though!
i think betting on w'burg waterfront is a solid bet. as for how roll call would work there .. when roll call first came out it said it'd be offered when/where available so i'd think shows that are generally GA anyway would not really offer any benefits except maybe just being able to purchase early (so that you don't get shut out) and maybe bypassing the horrid ticketmaster fee's and such?? i haven't had a chance to use my roll call membership to buy tickets yet so i'm not sure what kind of fee's (if any) are attached to that.

But this show would be amazing. A fantastic excuse to spend the weekend in Brooklyn with two of my favorite Jacket gals. :D :D :D

hells yes :thumbsup:
it does make sense to have it here but it doesn't really seem to fit into the handpicked cool historic seated venue or whatever theme they are doing for this tour.
They seem to really dig the outdoor venues.
Not much else would work well for them in the NYC area.

What about a triumphant return to T5? Or have they out grown that place? They could take down MSG again too, that would be fun.
i hope they don't play jones beach

At this point I don't think they would play there.
I believe next summer will be a full ampitheater (with a strong supporter) tour.
Fall/Winter will be multinight runs at small awesome theaters (Ryman, Beacon, Fox, ect..)
Spring will be Europe
Summer will be sheds

I just cackled.
I wouldn't scoff at a RCMH show....still upset I missed the last one... >:(
And brooke...it's a date.... :-*
shortlist of places i hope they never play or return to:
1. T5 - just don't get me started. i think it's a shitty venue & there are only a few tolerable places to spend the show
2. Jones Beach - it's hard as hell for NYC'ers to get to. the train/shuttle system they had in place is no more. also, they don't sell beer or alcohol which i think is lame .. even though i personally don't drink @ shows (i hate to leave and go to the bathroom). one time i missed the train to get home and we had to pay $120 in cab fare to get back. screw that!
** honorable mention ** MSG .. i still think that venue is too big for them, which to me (selfishly speaking) is a good thing. bring on the radio city, the beacon and united palace even (gorgeous place though a bit out of the way). i don't like looking around to see a ton of empty seats. i think MMJ is in an awkward phase as far as how big they are .. they are close to getting really freaking huge but not quite there so some venue's seem too small, some seem too big. the allman bros. are freaking huge but you don't see them playing MSG .. it's always the beacon. to me there is just something lost .. energy lost .. when you play a room with alot of (empty) space. let's have the frenetic energy with a full(er) house.

I think their days at Terminal 5 are done.
I think that was a unique circumstance. Terminal 5 is notorious for giving bands cheap rent, especially on multi-night runs.
Again, I just don't see them doing a theater in NYC in August. They love outside shows. If they do Williamsburg on a Fri/Sat, I bet it has a good chance to sellout. Why would they do something else?
-Summerstage has an early curfew and can hold 2-3,000.
-Keyspan Park may work, but that doesn't seem like a venue they'd play (now).
United Palace is an awesome place. Saw MOF there. Only bad thing was getting on the A train after the show. Made every local stop and I needed to go down to Penn Station. United Palace is up by 175th I believe for those that are unaware. LOOOOONG Ride.

maybe it was because it was a hometown show... but they blew the roof off the YUM center. I've only been going to see the Jacket for about 16 months, but of my 13 or so shows, YUM is my 4th favorite and there are only 5 that I remember as shinning a little brighter than the other shows Ive been to. again, it might be because the Yum is here at home, and it had been just over 2 years since the last hometown show.

I think there have been venues in all the cities they've played this year that they could've sold out, but they're choosing venues based on more than capacity this tour. in an early 2011 interview they said they hand picked their favorite theaters/venues around the country. i.e. the auditorium theater. they sold out the auditorium theater, but played a larger venue in chicago last year (charter one @ northerly island). They played the Louisville Palace when last year they damn near sold out the Yum Center (i think 22,000 capacity for bball games)

MSG's end-stage capacity is 19,500 and YUM's is 17,500. not a huge difference but 2000 seats can make a difference.

also .. MSG's concert capacity is 2,500 more than YUM's concert capacity
this is true, but 22,000 minus however many seats were behind the stage is still possibly the biggest Jacket show to date excluding festivals. it's definitely between MSG and Yum
e wind - exactly why I keep coming back to radio city...

me too! i texted pennylane in a panic! i get all nervous with anticipation!
I just want an NYE or Halloween show in NYC or anywhere else
I've got great seats for the Philly show so I won't be devastated if they don't come to NYC in August... that said, my fingers are still crossed.
crickets in here lately, can we get another announcement :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

I check the shows list every day, several times a day. :-\
I was thinking this morning on the train that the City Center would be a cool venue to see them play at (I saw Tool there a few years back), but then I checked the site and saw that it is under renovation through September...
I'll likely come back to NYC for a show. New Years would work.
I'm now unsure about them playing this venue.
They would have announced a mid August show by now.
The only way they would hold off is if the show is on a Fri/Sat and they think it will sell out in a matter of days.
Who knows.
With each passing day, I believe NYC will get either NYE or Halloween shows.
Im still thinking NYE, they would have for sure announced a show for an outdoor venue by now. the waterfront made their "summer show" schedule announcement a while back with posters and everything which included september dates... COME ON NYE

forgot about this place. not sure if the construction/remodeling going in the big arena affect the theater. i saw radiohead there a few years ago. decent venue from what i can remember.
my dream of dreams .... halloween. radio city. yes!! though i'm not sure about folks being all costumed up and trashing the beautiful venue. fake blood on the seats & such? anywho, a girl's gotta dream. halloween at some venue in nyc at least !!!

I agree with you Brooke. I'm thinking the long wait to get a NYC announcement might mean we're in for something special again this year. Maybe a T5 type run somewhere, Halloween, or NYE. :thumbsup:
I'l take any of those or all! ;D Hey, a guy's gotta dream too. ;)
I hope NYC gets something cool too (NEW YEARS). If its a multi-night run, I hope its a long enough run that makes it work going up to NYC. Also, t5 was right in the middle of Midterms week which fucked me out of that, so please later in the year!
Halloween is on a Monday and NYE is on a Friday this year. ???

had a dream the show was announced. it wasn't.
at this point, I would highly doubt that any dates are added to the lineup pre-ACL. Unless there have been lots of elves working behind the scene, too much logistics involved in slotting in dates near term.......fall tour post ACL?

a new year, the venue is confirmed to be hosting 2012 concerts. They said roughly 20 acts will play. 7,000 capacity.
MMJ?
Any other guesses on bands?
Mumfords?
Arcade Fire?
Bon Iver?
INDIE ROCK!
