It's too close to the end of the year to realistically see bookings for at least the 1st few months of 2024.
If there was bookings they already would be posted.
Being the word was BOC was scaling touring way back and they already did the trilogy concert I would be surprised to see many more concerts.
This is me being pessimistic and praying I'm wrong.

Near the end of last year a rumor got started something to the fact "2022 - that's it". It was the closing words in some interview which really meant "that's the full summary of what happened in 2022" when it could have been taken as "2022 - that's it", meaning 2022 was the end of touring. Just one of those things that you can make it mean what you expect it to mean. Then the fish stories started, but we know how things turned out.
Last year people got worried when the schedule showed no dates for 2023 for awhile. It takes some time to plan and schedule that stuff. That's what the people say anyway.
The ONLY reason I did the junk below is because I got bored one night.....
I think we all anticipated that eventually touring would be scaled down. I dug out my "un-trusty" spread sheet from last year to see how I thought things would shake out. I figured they would do at least 1/3 to 1/2 of 2022 tour dates. WAG!
My counts are probably off by a few, but here's what I have: 2022 - 68 show dates performed
2023 - 32 show dates already done or scheduled So my 1/3 to 1/2 numbers were 23 to 34 shows. I know how much they love to perform so my GUESS was halfway in-between yielding a 28 show GUESS for 2023. So I was off by 4 shows. I can live with that error. (But 1 of those shows needed to be in Texas! But noooooooo.... )
I have no clue how to guess next year, but I'm pretty sure it will be >0.
"Lies, Damn Lies, and Statistics" How true the saying is. There was a good book by that name that we used as a reference at work when writing a technical analysis for a client. It was actually presented at a conference and nominated for "best paper". I guess my mind dug some of that old stuff up last year and I had to do something with it.

Could be they’ve been busy in the studio.
One can hope and dream lol. We got a great album in 2020 and I bought all the different copies in different color vinyl. But it charted so maybe that’s enough for Fromtiers to foot the bill for a follow up if the boys are interested. Call me greedy for hoping for more but I’ll buy it day one, probably in multiple editions and formats lol

Heading into the 50th anniversary shows, we were all expecting that 2022 was going to be it. Eric put that to rest during the Tyranny show. The place erupted.
I missed seeing them in the NY/NJ area this year, but I’ll admit to being spoiled for so long. Looks like I may have to start traveling.
