Florida/Georgia Line just announced for Fenway on July 7th. This was viewed as a potential Buffett date if he did Fenway. Concerts at Fenway usually have multiple shows and the next night is NKOTB.

Didn't he say last year that he was going to cut back on touring? Maybe the shows that have already been announced are the only ones he's doing this year. [smilie=noeyedear-shrugging.gif]

He did say that , but travel schedule he has planned really isn't cutting back that much , my guess is there will be a show in the Northeast somewhere. If he was to pick one location , like someone Has someone said , Pratt and Whitney Stadium in East Hartford would be ideal Seats 40,000 , parking lot is great , easy on and off the highway. Between Boston and New York. Doubt it would happen. But logistic wise for 1 Northeast show it makes sense. But I really don't think he would not play the Boston Market , whether it's Fenway or GW.

Can we still tailgate even if Jimmy doesn't play?

Maybe that is the reality. If so, then so be it. I'd just like to know one way or another. I've seen him enough so any new Mass/NE date is just gravy on top of gravy as it has been for a while. But chances are he is adding more shows somewhere, it's hard to think he'd just do one show in July, more will be added around that date.

Unless he gets sick or dies he will be at GW (or somewhere in New England) and most if not all the usual stops this year. If he hadn't announced any tour dates yet I would believe otherwise.

I see A Camden date for Aug 17th posted on Live Nation , Guessing GW would be the 19th then.

He played Camden last year and I don't recall any a major catastrophes with weather or opening acts that had an affect on the show so there goes that theory of not playing the same spots in 2017 as they did in 2016.

Camden on Thursday and Great Woods on Saturday is certainly very doable from a tour standpoint so IF Great Woods is going to happen the 19th now makes even more sense.

Hershey was never a regular concert stop , he's only played it once, same with Bethel , so I wouldn't put it into a the skipped category . GW or the Boston Market would be a skipped. Jones Beach he has skipped before.
