They certainly aren't going out of their way to promote it that's for sure.

I agree - but we will get our southern shows in 2012

I don't understand all the anger about the lack of an official announcement on the pending PJ20 festival.....
I await with much anticipation as all of us do, but anger stretches it too far. When our "got to have it now" consumer mentality overcomes us, we become animals and lose all sense of rationality (and adventure, I must say).

1/2 glass full instead of 1/2 empty fellow fans!! If a festival announcement comes, I know some will be disappointed if they can't go, but be happy and gracious it's happening at all. I know we'll all be more than willing to share the experience with those that can't make it for whatever reason.... heck, I anticipate going, but who knows what might prevent me from taking advantage of the opportunity.

I enjoy reading the "guesses" as to when and where this might take place; and I can't wait to know for sure.
AND I can't wait to see many of you there!!

Until that day...... grab your favorite PJ playlist and rock!

Not if the Mayans have anything to say about it.

I've gone from being 90% sure I would go to about 5%. I'm glad they didn't post it sooner before I had a chance to think it over. For me I know it won't live up to what it would cost to get there.

They are doing themselves a disservice by doing one location (if that's the case). You have a ton of fans all over the world and you're going to celebrate 20 years as a band over one weekend? why? if they won't do a real tour for this i'm guessing they never will again.

RedMosquito22

If by real tour you mean 70+ shows, you're right they probably won't ever do that again. They may, but it's highly unlikely.

This weekend are not the only shows that will be played this year.

so you think 3-4 months is enough time for people to plan for this , take time off of work and spend close to 2 grand like it's nothing, wow really? the more the band waits the more it's a screw you to fans overseas or fans in the states who are waiting around to plan their vacation and summer for this.

Yes.

The longer this takes to be announced my % of going decreases. To me announcing at least a time frame would have been a nice bit of info. A week or 2 period of when the show could be would have solved alot of bitching and complaining.

Of course some people will have problems. However, it is still plenty of time for the vast majority of people that want to go.

If you live in North USA. Outside of that and the longer the wait the higher the cost. Flights/travel/accomodation etc.

You can have your flight and room booked in a day. The cost wasn't the question. The question was whether 3-4 months is enough time to plan a weekend. Of course it is. If you can't get off from work, yes that would be a major kick in the ass.

I definitely have to go to a Europe PJ show in the near future. The wife and I are definitely planning on it.
