    Did they say when an announcement might be?

    PJ aren't very keen on festivals......
    I think I'd prefer if they did a standard tour, but i would take anything they give

    I heard this this morning too and I gotta say I fricken hope they DONT play the BDO.. Having been to that festival many, many times, I absolutely hate it, I know it's the most popular festival over here.. But I think I would much rather see PJ play their OWN shows and NOT a festival.... Seriously I hope to god these rumors aren't true...

    If they did BDO would that exclude 10c privileges?

    I can understand that - I don't want to fight a million kids for some pj love either - but whatever brings them to Melbourne (or Australia) right? Maybe they'd do some shows along the way? Fingers crossed they're coming to visit . . .

    Well I guess I'd like to experience BDO just once.. :? 8-)

    BDO sucks balls. Nothing like 10000 teen chicks calling for last kiss in 40deg heat.
    Yeh I've seen Pearl Jam, too. But I can't remember the dates.
  • JK109224JK109224 Posts: 632
    Whatever brings them back down here, I guess...

    The upside is they'd do some sideshows, hopefully in all main cities. Not sure I'd travel just for a BDO-only show. It's a terrible festival.
    Come to send, not condescend...

    BDO does suck a few balls . . . I've only been once and it was enough . . . I didn't mind getting high and dancing in the dj tent at the end, but the big acts were just impossible to enjoy. Too many people, too hot. But again - whatever brings them to Oz . . .

    As much as I HATE the BDO if it brings them here to Oz, that would be awesome.. I just HATE the thought of people screaming out for the "hits" and that's it... I want to enjoy them & NOT have drunken idiots ruining my day...

    So would there be other bands on other stages playing the same time as PJ?

    Yep. Can go pop some pills and check out some fully sik killa beats.

    I think if they played BDO they wouldn’t do sideshows. It’s not much different to the stadium shows they did in 09.
    I'm hanging to get another seated show and actually use my 10C membership

    I would assume not. If it’s a festival 10C won’t be selling tickets and there wouldn’t be any way to have early entry

    The BDO headliner always does sideshows, PJ would be no different I'd reckon.

    Yep, seeing PJ with a shitload of people who don't give a f*ck would be challenging (!) but if it's my only chance to see them I'll just have to battle it out with the kiddies. And will just have to get heinously drunk so I love everyone to bits and don't care about 18-year-olds screaming 'Alive! My mum used to LOVE this song!'

    rumor i heard was prince was coming to town for BDO.
    I used to LOVE the BDO back in the day, have all the posters from 1993 ...but stopped going when the venue changed..and i got older...i have lots of awesome memories though of standing in the hot hot aussie sun seeing the red hot chilli peppers, janes addiction, soundgarden, smashing pumpkins...good times.

    When Ed was in Melbourne last he said i wont be seeing you guys for a long time....so sad to say i doubt we will see them in 2012 :(
