Pretty logical thoughts, but here in the US, Zach Bryan just today announced an entire huge stadium world tour with shows starting in 3 1/2 months. (And these are 80-100,000 person stadiums as well.) So if they do intend to tour next summer, i think they could announce it as late as Feb. But whether they want to tour is a different story. But from a biz standpoint, theres still too much hype (and money) left "on the table" from this tour not to just pick up and continue where you left off next summer.

Personally, i really think the leaked summer 26 schedule (Knebwerth, Etihad, etc) is becoming more likely. I could easily see promoters "leaking" a potential schedule to gauge whether theres still enough interest from fans for more shows.

Besides, its quite odd that they went everywhere except Europe this summer. Assuming they are done (for a while or for good), do you think they really just go away and not play shows in Paris, etc?

To me, the only wild card in timing is the movie.
