bands like Gun N’ Roses, Nirvana, Pearl Jam, and Stone Temple
Pilots.

Since
2015, the band has been discussing the possibility of a farewell tour
that would last two years or more. The recently announced dates,
though, are not balled as a farewell.

Perry in January 2019 said the band was about to start recording material for a new album, but no title or release date has been announced yet, and it’s unclear if the anniversary tour will have any new material or instead rely on past hits.
