The Never Ending Pool

how do you think the rest of the year will shape up? a few things to consider

a rumor of 2 Italian dates in july spread late last summer and another had mostly central and southern Europe dates in the summer along with an album called days of yore.
however, on this date in 2019, 36 of the 38 European dates thru july were already announced.
the previous European summer tours of 2014 and 2015 had dates slip out in late feb and officially released in march.
after doing 2 of 3 legs in Europe in 2015, he skipped there in 2016. he did 2 of the 3 legs in Europe in 2019.
the last time he didn't tour the u.s. in the summer during a presidential election was 1996 (2 shows in atlanta in august were not part of a tour).

looks like the odds of the summer tour being in Europe are becoming less and less. the front page at expecting rain says the Italian dates were moved to 2021. there could still be a tour with no dates in Italy, however. in the 2010s, he did 6 summer tours in Europe. in 3 of those, the first dates were already announced.

Coronavirus?

Thanks for your tour ruminations, stack.

First date released July 12th bethel, NY according to front page of expectingrain

Unfortunately I think that the current health problems with coronavirus will restrict touring.
