The announcement is taking its time, and it seems like there are some Covid barriers not going down without an annoying fight, but let's be real here, the 2022 World Tour is going to happen. It has to. We're just waiting on the official announcement and reveal of tour dates. It could be any day or minute now...

Where the banned are
The issue is, Rick, sourcing tickets, making travel plans, obtaining sufficient brownie points from spouse(!) all need to be undertaken a goodly ways in advance.
I feel no excitement about this right now. It's nearly a year away, and if I've learned anything since 2019, it's that a lot can change in a year. I'd be more excited about an album release announcement right now. Plenty of time to get in the mood for a tour that starts next year.
Ah.....
No likee festivals.
UK and Belgian dates to be announced later, but so far so good!
So it smells like 2023 Europe, rather than a "snap" 2022 job?
Also, it's an indoor venue..........but a very large indoor stadium, 40k for gigs according to Wiki.
On that basis, I'm guessing uk stadium dates June/July.
Album Autumn this year maybe?
I'm wondering if this will be marketed as the EStreet band's farewell tour?
Oh, Flynn from BTX? That makes sense.
Confirmed.
NBTB is a pod hosted by Hal Schwartz and Flynn McLean, who are arguably the two most reliable sources going.
Is that confirmed or more rumors? Dunno what the NBTB podcast is,
Paris 2023 confirmed.
Against my better judgement, I dipped my toe in the oily pond to see what they were saying. My God there are some negative people over there.
