As far as I can tell, the core of Jeff's touring band have just one other commitment for this year, and that's backing Take That for their comeback show as the headline act of the BST Hyde Park festival. I'd say it's still more than early enough for an announcement, and there's also the detail of Jeff likely performing when he's inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame. Indeed, I wouldn't be surprised if the new album he first promised over a year ago was pushed back until soon after this event once his induction was locked in beyond merely being a nomination.

Thank you for the prompt reply and insight. I made the comment about a 2023 tour being unlikely, because the 2020 UK tour was announced in the January for October dates.

I think that an announcement in February for summer dates would make sense, but the depends on the # of dates and the geography. I wish Jeff would go to Australia, quite honestly.
Maybe a late spring for fall dates, like the Time Tour.

Speaking of the new album, is there any word on it - whose on it, any other musicians other than Jeff, etc.?

I’m seeing Bev on Thursday I’ll try to get a chance and ask him. 🤞🏻

For a fraction of a second, I got my hopes up when seeing a banner for upcoming gigs on Spotify. As for marketing, this must be an all time low for PB.

you mean Jeff hasn't really asked Phil to be his opening act on a world tour of 4th rate venues?

I wonder if this is is just the result of a marketing bot scraping key words from legitimate ads to create a giant aggregated list of bad information about gigs.
