Anyone think Pearl Jam will headline Glasto next year? Eavis has said it will be three bands that have never played there before.

Agreed I had the time of my life last year even if it means a long train journey.
MEN Arena 20-21/06/12
Leeds 08/07/14
Milton Keynes 11/07/14
Mexico City 28/11/15
EV London 6-7/6/17
Be good if they did Glasto and then did a Ten Club only warm-up show at Manchester Apollo!
I think the ethical and charitable ethos side of Glastonbury fits PJ, but they would find it very difficult if not impossible to get anything ticketwise for 10C so there would be a lot of very disappointed fans. Plus I'm not sure if Glastonbury would see them as big enough headliners with the demographics of their ticket holders.
I think it would be good for PJ to play the O2 again (I prefer the venue to the MEN) but we shall no doubt be happy if they play a gig we can get tickets to.
(and yes, we would all love them to play close to our homes or in specific areas/parts of the UK but we have to acknowledge we've been very lucky to have had so many shows in a relatively small geographical area over the last six years)
2012 - Manchester i & ii, Berlin i & ii, Stockholm. 2014 - Amsterdam i & ii, Trieste, Vienna, Berlin, Leeds, Milton Keynes.
2016 - Boston Fenway i & ii, 2018 - Amsterdam i & ii, Pinkpop, London i & ii, Padova, Krakow, Barcelona, Seattle i & ii.
Scotland would be a dream come true. We're better equipped for gigs now with the Hydro Arena opening this week. I can't see them ever playing Glastonbury to be honest but you never know. I could see them playing Hard Rock Calling again though which although not a popular choice wouldn't really bother me. Hyde Park 10 was a great day out. I'd still much rather see a couple of arena shows any day though. Glasgow Hydro and London 02 please....
Dublin 02 Arena - 22/6/10. Belfast Odyssey Arena - 23/6/10. London Hyde Park - 25/6/10. Berlin Wuhlheide - 30/6/10.
Manchester MEN - 20/06/12. Manchester MEN - 21/06/12
Would hard rock calling rule out any scottish or english arena shows ? last time they played belfast but no mainland shows ?
I know they had exclusivity in 2010 so filled the gaps with the Irish dates but I don't know if that's something they can negotiate on? There was no problems last year with doing Manchester and IOW but I suppose if it had been a festival on the mainland it may have been different. I'm pretty sure they'll play festivals somewhere if they come over and Pinkpop is rumoured again. I think given the nature of how Glastonbury sell tickets and the type of headliners they generally go for it would seem a very unusual choice if they went with PJ next year. My guess would be London, Manchester and Dublin for close to home shows. Scotland seems to be off PJ's radar now. Two shows in over 20 years tells it's own story..
Dublin 02 Arena - 22/6/10. Belfast Odyssey Arena - 23/6/10. London Hyde Park - 25/6/10. Berlin Wuhlheide - 30/6/10.
Manchester MEN - 20/06/12. Manchester MEN - 21/06/12
Would much prefer another hard rock calling than a trip to Somerset.
Ive had some of the best times ever at Glasto in the 90's, but as time wore on and its popularity became mainstream for the city dudes to have a crazy weekend in a field, the festival became a shitfest. Perhaps it was due to Emily coming on board, I know for a fact things were way better under Michael solely.
I would expect the usual weekend festivals and midweek arenas, pinkpop is early June I think which is a bit earlier than PJ are usually here
Each festival have their own contractual terms, so we'll see I guess! They'll defo be doing some if they do come sometime between May and August.
The Hydro looks like a great venue (though I'll not enter the 'play Scotland' debate as I'll annoy people
2012 - Manchester i & ii, Berlin i & ii, Stockholm. 2014 - Amsterdam i & ii, Trieste, Vienna, Berlin, Leeds, Milton Keynes.

Just for Glasto? Nope.
Massive ticket prices, for an outdoor show. No thanks.
didnt even think of that it may be closed to prepare for the games i see theres currently nothing booked from June-September

Plus Eavis is believed to have already signed the Foos for next year so having PJ on really aint going to happen in the same year.
PJ would have destroyed Glasto in the 90s, its a shadow of its former self these days.
As Dottles rightly says the ethos of Glastonbury fits really well with the band - and I am sure they would go down a storm. Also in terms of coverage - the BBC does a great job - it would give some great exposure to the band we love!
Apparently the headliners for next year have been lined up already. And it won't be the Foos, they'll have to wait until the year after.
2012: Manchester I, Manchester II, Manchester (EV)
2014: Milan, Leeds, Milton Keynes
2017: London II (EV)
2018: Amsterdam I, London I, Prague, London II
2019: London (EV)
2022: London I, London II, Budapest, Krakow, Amsterdam
I think the days where they would fit in there are long gone. Way past it happening now.
Glastonbury is full of mainstream, bland, commercial music in terms of the main two stages.
And there's been a big shift from guitar music to electronic.
It's a massive no from me. Not the right place for them at all. No way.
