    This would be insane.... Foo Fighters, Florence & The Machine are pretty much locks at this point.

    Kind of similar to last year. My money is they work a small tour for the Canadians into this and may be sprinkle in a few US to support the logistics of hauling equipment from the Northwest to Latin America.

    This is the most interesting thing to pop up on the forum in months but im in the minority cuz this isn't getting half the love of the mystery vinyl. I hope its true and there are a few NA show coming around it.

    Would be cool, but weird that they'd play two years in a row. I'd go if they do play.

    No way they would play ACL two years in a row... I don't think anyway. ACL promoters probably don't want the band two years in a row and PJ probably doesn't want to play the same festival two years in a row. Can't think of another time that's happened.

    Why wouldn't they want PJ 2 years in a row?
    Because from a promotion stand point it doesn't make sense. Yes there are PJ die-hards who will go two years in a row, but the theme of festivals seems to be "variety," and as far as drawing local Austinites who went last year, having the exact same headliner the very next year, won't do a lot of good.

    I AM surprised PJ has never been tapped to do Bumbershoot. That seems like the next logical festival for them to do (obviously not this year).

    I had a look at some of the festival message boards today. ACL didn't have a forum I could find, but it does have threads on the Coachella and Lolla boards. It sounds like the speculation is either AC DC or Metallica and Foo Fighters and Florence + The Machine are headliners. No one is mentioning Pearl Jam. It would be extremely rare for a headliner to play two years in a row and the only was I see this is if one of the tentative headliners bailed and Pearl Jam was a replacement.

    They might play twice in a row, only because it would keep Austin weird.

    I see it as a longshot too but interesting nonetheless. As for having a tough time drawing local austinites, that's definitely not true. Most locals here if they go to ACL don't care who is there, they go every year regardless. Most schools in town have half days or are closed those 2 Fridays because most kids don't show up anyway, so the fest has no problem whatsoever selling tickets- that's why they have two identical weekends now when they used to only have one. I really don't think they have any concerns over ticket sales.
    The fact that they'd headline 2 years in a row though is what makes it a distant possibility.

    If this does happen I don't see Pearl Jam playing both weekends again like they did last year. It'll be a one night only jam to fit in with their regular scheduled tour of USA & CDN dates. *fingers crossed

    Agreed completely. I just don't see them doing both weekends either, two years in a row. Much more chance that they're just doing one night. Lorde last year just did one night on her way through. Fingers crossed as well.

    I think it should be a 2pm acoustic set. That way they dont headline and it brings in the crowds right away. Everyone wins.

    I've wished for an acoustic set every time they've played acl....

    I think they took it down since the lineup hasn't been announced.

    Although I'm still doubtful this is happening, it's an odd error to make. If it was a mistake I'd think it would have posted Oct 5 or Oct 12 (the dates they played last year). Guess we find out one way or another on Tuesday.

    How about doing a late night ACL show at one of the smaller bars? That would be awesome (and would never happen).

    Wouldn't they have clarified by now if they weren't playing it? I think they were just giving us a quick little heads up

    Feels like some tour dates coming on 5/10

    And I thought I had the will power to sit out for a year !! If this is true however, I might have to just change my mind. It does seem kind of strange, but show rumors are pretty exciting regardless

    I've been bummed that I was gonna go all of '15 without a show so if true I'll be beyond excited. The only thing better would be MMJ coming too.
