Sorry if it's been mentioned already but my guess is Tennessee where Bonnaroo is held every year. It seems to fit all the items mentioned so far. Just my guess : )

You guys are taking "middle of the country" WAY to literally. Look PJ is touring Canada this year, at least they want to. Gorge is open this labor day. They'll want to play some shows if new material comes out. Gorge is the place that makes the most sense. Call it a done deal, Gorge in 2011.....
One of the potential "hurdles" that Jeff is talking about probably has to do with having their friend's bands play and the contractual restrictions that bands have to sign in order to play festivals. Generally, if a band wants to play a festival like Lollapalooza, it is contractually prohibited from playing another show with a high capacity audience within a certain (generally large) geographic region. So, for example, when NIN toured with Jane's Addiction in 2009, Jane's Addiction was headlining Lollapalooza. Accordingly, when the NIN/JA tour came to Chicago, NIN headlined and JA did not play at all because they were contractually prohibited from doing so (which is ironic considering Lolla is Perry Ferrell's brainchild). This is why the PJ20 festival in a city like Chicago (that already hosts Lolla) or Seattle/Gorge (which hosts Sasquatch) is probably less likely than a place in the middle of bumblefuck (where most festivals are held for logistical purposes but also for this reason) where Bonaroo or Coachella is. Any band that wants to play PJ20 that is on the "festival circuit" won't be able to play if it's in a place that's close to a festival they are already playing (of course, a band could play a small venue in that city if it wanted to, like Soundgarden playing that club show the night before Lolla last year). Just a thought.

Make whatever you want of it. I think the people that are saying "you are taking this middle of the country stuff too literally" are incidentally the same people who live somewhere not in the middle of the country (i.e. the coasts or near the Gorge or not in the midwest US ).
The fun of it is trying to figure out where its could be. I think its a reasonable assumption that "middle of the country" means just that: the middle of the US. It seems like a lot of people agree. (I don't see too many recommendations NOT for the midwest US...just sayin...).
And if that turns out to be wrong, then I'll still gladly pay for my ticket and make my way to wherever PJ20 is.

I'm going to just throw in my two cents here... I think Jeff made it pretty clear that there isn't going to be a "festival" this year. And honestly, nobody ever said that there was going to be one. It says: A 20th anniversary destination weekend bash sometime in late summer. That does not state that there is any sort of festival, using that word specifically. I think there will be something like a 3 night run in one city and that's going to be what they were speaking of. Didn't Jeff say in an interview that there will not be a festival but something that would be considered a warm up to doing something like that? I just don't think there is going to be something where other bands are included it's just going to be 3 nights in a row somewhere.

From you lips to God's/Goddess ears! I would much prefer to have just PJ for this special event.

More rational thought. If they do ANYTHING, Gorge makes the most sense being part of a tour schedule. It's not a huge secret the band wants to play some Canada dates. Where else is there a large, band friendly, set up for travelers, that they've "piggie" backed a tour off of to Canada? Make it a "Celebrate 20 years, get your ass to the Gorge we are going to Canada tour" Reading into what Jeff has said, it sounds like it would take immense planning to pull off what they would want to do. Takes years. Big Giant Festival ain't happening. This year. I think this year is going to be a.....
Go to the studio after Ed surfs and writes songs, hopefully we can put an album out, we're pretty good at it, before the end of the year so we can play some short legs with big shows at the same time as Pearl Jam 20 is released kind of year.
I'm thinking it's going to be in a field in Lebanon, Kansas, located at the intersection of AA Road and K-191, accessible by a turn-off from U.S. Route 281 approximately a mile north of the town. GPS coordinates are LAT. 39°50' LONG. 98°35'. This is the exact geographic center of the United States, so it only makes sense if they're gonna play the "middle of the country"...

/two cents from a rational Super Fan.
Given what we've heard from Kelly Curtis and now Jeff, I don't see how its any more of a rational guess that whatever they do (I think it's clear it'll be something - either a 3 night run-off, 2-night weekend somewhere w/camping, tour) will be at say, the Gorge than somewhere in the midwest. And who said anything about a Canada tour? Has this been reported/rumored somewhere? More wishful thinking? The only thing I've read about anything happening this year is a "destination weekend bash somewhere in the middle of the country" and what Jeff has said recently. You make of that what you want; that's the point of this thread. It's all speculation anyway; I just look at what's been said and try to draw a reasonable conclusion. Once we know where whatever's happening is actually happening, I'll gladly make arrangements to get there, wherever it is. But in the meantime, let's speculate on what's been said and find a reasonable match. So, what about the Gorge -- based on the little that has been said -- makes it more "rational" than somewhere in the midwest? You posed the question "where else is there a large, band friendly location, set up for travelers?" Uh...read the thread. Sounds like there are a lot of places, including ones that could be argued are "somewhere in the middle of the country." Again...the whole point of the thread is taking what's been said and trying to find reasonable matches. And even that is unsupported speculation: nothing's been said or alluded to that whatever they're planning on doing is going to be "set up for travelers" or somewhere they could "piggie back off on a tour to Canada." Let's stick to the facts folks: that's what this thread is all about!

instead of camping in little cities especially alpine valley, wi middle of nowhere
what about football stadiums for example they already played state college,pa arena before. so why not inside that stadium? it holds 100,000k easy, and for concert not as much but still lots of people when you put people on football field
there is not a ton of places in the midwest? where would pj put it besides chicago area cause eddie is from there. I MEAN I COULD SEE WRIGLEY FIELD THAT COULD BEA GOOD GUESS?
but its better weather in the south maybe or west coast? what about LA or Florida?
it is in the midwest for sure???????? my guess is WRIGLEY FIELD THEN
and eddie is a big cubs fan he probably dreams of playing a show in that stadium, maybe they will play 2 or 3 shows at wrigley field, when the cubs have a road trip? they have had concerts there in the past right? didnt rolling stones or u2 or someone play there before?
IF THEY WANT BIGGER MAYBE SOLDIER FIELD? THEY PLAYED THERE BEFORE, ALTHOUGH ID GUESS WRIGLEY WOULD BE BETTER FOR A SHOW CAUSE IT NOT AS HUGE A PLACE?
OR THERE IS A SOCCER PARK FOR MLS SOCCER THAT HOLDS LIKE 30K I THINK OUTSIDE OF CHICAGO, ALSO THERE IS A HUGE NASCAR TRACK OUTSIDE OF CHICAGO, THAT IF THEY WANTED TO DO A GA FESTIVAL TYPE OF THING ,THAT PLACE COULD HOLD A GOOD 75,000 FOR A SHOW.
(probably everyone would be able to get pavilion seats since the pavilion is rather large), and it's Alpine, one of the best places to see an outdoor show in the country. Plus, although Alpine was supposed to happen in 2009, it hasn't seen PJ since 2003 (which just so happened to be one of the highlights of the 2003 tour).
TA concert was so bitterly cold. It definitley made the show better. I dont see it being put in a place that doesnt have 100K in seats. The vast majority of 10club members want to go to this thing. I think a couple of places that could hold this are michigan stadium, The horseshoe in columbus, memorial stadium in lincoln, neylond stadium in knoxville, beaver stadium at penn state, and daryll k royal in austin. Something of that magnitude were 100k+ pj 10club members can enjoy the concert.
and eddie is a big cubs fan he probably dreams of playing a show in that stadium, maybe they will play 2 or 3 shows at wrigley field, when the cubs have a road trip? they have had concerts there in the past right? didnt rolling stones or u2 or someone play there before?
Bands have concerts there every summer, so it's entirely possible that they could play there at some point.
Chicago 2000 : Chicago 2003 : Chicago 2006 : Summerfest 2006 : Lollapalooza 2007 : Chicago 2009 : Noblesville (Indy) 2010 : PJ20 (East Troy) 2011 : Wrigley Field 2013 : Milwaukee (Yield) 2014 : Wrigley Field 2016

Bands have concerts there every summer, so it's entirely possible that they could play there at some point.
I'm sure everyone would love to spend a minimum of $200 per night for 2 people to stay in the city plus a minimum of $400 in ticket costs plus airfare.

that makes sense
If there is a festival, I have a feeling it's going to be expensive no matter where they have it.

Let's stick to the facts folks: that's what this thread is all about!
Touring Canada has come from Mike, he told some one that at a show. I've heard this from multiple sources that have been correct in the past and this person has claimed it here on the boards. I don't remember what thread. Believe what you want. Doesn't mean its going to happen but there is intent to play shows in Canada. More rational thought since they are due for a tour there. You continue to insist there is going to be some celebration this year right? SO if they want to tour Canada and they want to have a weekend party before or after, in the states, Gorge is the place that makes the most sense.
Go ahead and continue to set yourself up for major disappointment, keep pulling wild ass ideas of middle of the country venues out of thin air. I at least based my guess on historical facts. Not wild eyed speculation. It seems the point of this thread is to ignore facts and imagine until the cows come home. Have fun with that. I myself try to plan for things that make sense and have a realistic possiblity of happening.

Uh...ok. I'm just going with what's been said about this year and speculating a conclusion about where the festival/show/whatever could be. You're going with what's been said before (i.e. a thread about Canada tour) and speculating a conclusion about where the festival/show/whatever could be. We're both speculating, so why is your claim more plausible and mine "wild ass"? First, they've played about as many shows in the midwest as they have in Canada in the last 5 years. So if Canada is due for a tour, so is the midwest. Second, I think it becomes less of a "wild ass idea" when most people interpret Kelly Curtis's comments about "the middle of the country" to mean "the midwest US."
You seem pretty irritated in your comments. No one knows anything. No thread proves or disproves anything. Kelly Curtis made a comment about something potentially big, so naturally, we speculate on it. We've taken her comments and tried to draw conclusions. And you're absolutely right: it could very well be at the Gorge, it could very well be followed by a Canadian tour. But based on what's been said, its just as plausible that its something else. Like a show in the midwest. Or nothing. Just because you have a different idea doesn't make ours any more reasonable or any more ridiculous. So yeah...calm down. No need to get indignant about a completely speculative thread.
Sheesh.

??? This is a thread speculating about a Canadian tour, with most of the rumors based on people saying that they "heard it." I've seen people be spot-on with their rumor calls on this board, and I've seen many more be completely false. Hence the "Next Week..." joke.
But again, you seem pissed of by this. If all it takes is a different interpretation of something to piss you off, have a nice life I guess. Calm down.

Make whatever you want of it. I think the people that are saying "you are taking this middle of the country stuff too literally" are incidentally the same people who live somewhere not in the middle of the country (i.e. the coasts or near the Gorge or not in the midwest US
The fun of it is trying to figure out where its could be. I think its a reasonable assumption that "middle of the country" means just that: the middle of the US. It seems like a lot of people agree. (I don't see too many recommendations NOT for the midwest US...just sayin...).
And if that turns out to be wrong, then I'll still gladly pay for my ticket and make my way to wherever PJ20 is.

From you lips to God's/Goddess ears! I would much prefer to have just PJ for this special event.
More rational thought. If they do ANYTHING, Gorge makes the most sense being part of a tour schedule. It's not a huge secret the band wants to play some Canada dates. Where else is there a large, band friendly, set up for travelers, that they've "piggie" backed a tour off of to Canada? Make it a "Celebrate 20 years, get your ass to the Gorge we are going to Canada tour" Reading into what Jeff has said, it sounds like it would take immense planning to pull off what they would want to do. Takes years. Big Giant Festival ain't happening. This year. I think this year is going to be a.....
Go to the studio after Ed surfs and writes songs, hopefully we can put an album out, we're pretty good at it, before the end of the year so we can play some short legs with big shows at the same time as Pearl Jam 20 is released kind of year.
/two cents from a rational Super Fan.
Given what we've heard from Kelly Curtis and now Jeff, I don't see how its any more of a rational guess that whatever they do (I think it's clear it'll be something - either a 3 night run-off, 2-night weekend somewhere w/camping, tour) will be at say, the Gorge than somewhere in the midwest. And who said anything about a Canada tour? Has this been reported/rumored somewhere? More wishful thinking? The only thing I've read about anything happening this year is a "destination weekend bash somewhere in the middle of the country" and what Jeff has said recently. You make of that what you want; that's the point of this thread. It's all speculation anyway; I just look at what's been said and try to draw a reasonable conclusion. Once we know where whatever's happening is actually happening, I'll gladly make arrangements to get there, wherever it is. But in the meantime, let's speculate on what's been said and find a reasonable match. So, what about the Gorge -- based on the little that has been said -- makes it more "rational" than somewhere in the midwest? You posed the question "where else is there a large, band friendly location, set up for travelers?" Uh...read the thread. Sounds like there are a lot of places, including ones that could be argued are "somewhere in the middle of the country." Again...the whole point of the thread is taking what's been said and trying to find reasonable matches. And even that is unsupported speculation: nothing's been said or alluded to that whatever they're planning on doing is going to be "set up for travelers" or somewhere they could "piggie back off on a tour to Canada." Let's stick to the facts folks: that's what this thread is all about!

what about football stadiums for example they already played state college,pa arena before. so why not inside that stadium? it holds 100,000k easy, and for concert not as much but still lots of people when you put people on football field
there is not a ton of places in the midwest? where would pj put it besides chicago area cause eddie is from there. I MEAN I COULD SEE WRIGLEY FIELD THAT COULD BEA GOOD GUESS?
but its better weather in the south maybe or west coast? what about LA or Florida?
it is in the midwest for sure???????? my guess is WRIGLEY FIELD THEN
OR THERE IS A SOCCER PARK FOR MLS SOCCER THAT HOLDS LIKE 30K I THINK OUTSIDE OF CHICAGO, ALSO THERE IS A HUGE NASCAR TRACK OUTSIDE OF CHICAGO, THAT IF THEY WANTED TO DO A GA FESTIVAL TYPE OF THING ,THAT PLACE COULD HOLD A GOOD 75,000 FOR A SHOW.
TA concert was so bitterly cold. It definitley made the show better. I dont see it being put in a place that doesnt have 100K in seats. The vast majority of 10club members want to go to this thing. I think a couple of places that could hold this are michigan stadium, The horseshoe in columbus, memorial stadium in lincoln, neylond stadium in knoxville, beaver stadium at penn state, and daryll k royal in austin. Something of that magnitude were 100k+ pj 10club members can enjoy the concert.
Bands have concerts there every summer, so it's entirely possible that they could play there at some point.
I'm sure everyone would love to spend a minimum of $200 per night for 2 people to stay in the city plus a minimum of $400 in ticket costs plus airfare.
that makes sense

More to Come....
If there is a festival, I have a feeling it's going to be expensive no matter where they have it.
No kidding, but camping would cut down on ridiculous Chicago hotel prices. Wrigley makes absolutely no sense. Not to mention its an absolute dump.

More to Come....
Touring Canada has come from Mike, he told some one that at a show. I've heard this from multiple sources that have been correct in the past and this person has claimed it here on the boards. I don't remember what thread. Believe what you want. Doesn't mean its going to happen but there is intent to play shows in Canada. More rational thought since they are due for a tour there. You continue to insist there is going to be some celebration this year right? SO if they want to tour Canada and they want to have a weekend party before or after, in the states, Gorge is the place that makes the most sense.
Go ahead and continue to set yourself up for major disappointment, keep pulling wild ass ideas of middle of the country venues out of thin air. I at least based my guess on historical facts. Not wild eyed speculation. It seems the point of this thread is to ignore facts and imagine until the cows come home. Have fun with that. I myself try to plan for things that make sense and have a realistic possiblity of happening.

Uh...ok. I'm just going with what's been said about this year and speculating a conclusion about where the festival/show/whatever could be. You're going with what's been said before (i.e. a thread about Canada tour) and speculating a conclusion about where the festival/show/whatever could be. We're both speculating, so why is your claim more plausible and mine "wild ass"? First, they've played about as many shows in the midwest as they have in Canada in the last 5 years. So if Canada is due for a tour, so is the midwest. Second, I think it becomes less of a "wild ass idea" when most people interpret Kelly Curtis's comments about "the middle of the country" to mean "the midwest US."
You seem pretty irritated in your comments. No one knows anything. No thread proves or disproves anything. Kelly Curtis made a comment about something potentially big, so naturally, we speculate on it. We've taken her comments and tried to draw conclusions. And you're absolutely right: it could very well be at the Gorge, it could very well be followed by a Canadian tour. But based on what's been said, its just as plausible that its something else. Like a show in the midwest. Or nothing. Just because you have a different idea doesn't make ours any more reasonable or any more ridiculous. So yeah...calm down. No need to get indignant about a completely speculative thread.
Sheesh.

??? This is a thread speculating about a Canadian tour, with most of the rumors based on people saying that they "heard it." I've seen people be spot-on with their rumor calls on this board, and I've seen many more be completely false. Hence the "Next Week..." joke.
But again, you seem pissed of by this. If all it takes is a different interpretation of something to piss you off, have a nice life I guess. Calm down.
