The Big Day Out has been swirling with rumours of who will be playing at next year's festival. And the list is growing longer by the week.
Triple M music reporter Nui Te Koha told The Hot Breakfast this morning: "There have been internet rumours on top of other rumours.
"Pearl Jam, My Chemical Romance and Kasabian are pretty much locked in, but the internet is saying Radiohead (pictured above), System Of The Down and The Killers."
We've never seen the rumour mill for the BDO working so hard, but if the rumours are true this is gonna be one of the biggest rock festivals Australia has ever seen!
Radiohead have a new record out - King Of Limbs- but have no tour dates locked in, while The Killers, fresh from winning Best VMA Rock Performance at last month's MTV Awards, have one show scheduled for November 12 in Orlando, Florida.

BUT....I wana see PJ play, anywhere, anytime, playing any songs, for any length of time.... and if it's a BDO gig then fuck yea! I love the BDO, and for me personally PJ would be off the hoooooook crazy good here, there anywhere! I'm hoping it's a true rumour, tho I know chances are it's not. But maybe...
It opens the band up to a whole new/younger audience that would have not necessarily had the opportunity to hear PJ before.
This is exactly what I thought when I heard the rumour this morning. Maybe PJ would consider doing something like BDO to broaden their audience? To bond with some new fans, especially the younger demographic? And of course this isn't necessarily a bad thing . . . All artists want to continue growing, evolving and reaching out to new people. And Eddie has always been in the corner for kids (or youth). If his paternal (and ridiculously sexy - who else can be so paternal and so desirable at the same time?) loveliness can help some teenagers going through some shit then that would be a wonderful thing.
That said, for Pearl Jam fanatics used to being at concerts where there is just so much love and respect for the band (and respect is probably the important word here) - seeing them in an environment where there isn't that level of love and respect from the crowd will be challenging! Essentially us fans are going from concert experiences where the adoration is electric - where the fans all have this common bond that brings them together - to something that will be very different. And not only will we be competing with eachother for a decent view/spot, we'll be fighting a tonne of people that don't necessarily love the band that much too!!! So while I think it could be really cool, and yep a great PR gig for the band, if they're playing side-shows, I'd MUCH prefer to be at those, with all the other PJ crazies like me.
Loved your post and totally agree!

From what I've been hearing today, it's pretty much happening...
Sauce? Don't say triple m or the advertiser...
I really dont like when people say things and then when you ask for a source they jsut disappear.... some one keeps doing it on facebook and then someone did it on the RM forums last week
Triple M have been saying daily for the last week that it's PJ. I know they often throw out random names, but never repeated comments this.
To me, it all fits, but I've been wrong before.
I dont mean to be rude but i hope you are wrong... although the people who keep reporting to triple m have sketchy records.... they were so adament that soundgarden were going to be at BDO last year... guess we will see tomorrow night or wednesday???

Even if they are the only shows they do. I'm just not into pearl jam enough these days to put up with the whole BDO dramas/hassles. Its not worth it to me.

Doesn't mean I won't wanna punch out little snots
makes much more sense to live in the present tense

And I just can't see them signing onto a festival with a body count
Nor do I,
Do you think there would have been a hint from a mod on this forum already if they were coming to Australia?
2011 ~ Canberra (EV)
2011 ~ Melbourne 2 (EV)
2014 ~ Melbourne BDO
2014 ~ Melbourne 1 (EV)

Not a watered down 1.5 hour set after, potentially, soad. Or something like that
I dont think we would get a hint from for BDO festival.... seeing as though 10C tickets would have no use hence no need to update membership....
Sauce? Don't say triple m or the advertiser...

Oh you better update membership. Or there will be hell to pay!!
Triple m is your reliable source?
That's about as reliable as gillard
I dont mean to be rude but i hope you are wrong... although the people who keep reporting to triple m have sketchy records.... they were so adament that soundgarden were going to be at BDO last year... guess we will see tomorrow night or wednesday???
Careful. That's a blight on Triple M.
Seriously though, like I said, I've been wrong. Triple M isn't the only place the name has cropped up.
We'll just wait and see.
I hope I'm wrong too. BDO is terrible.
Either way I wont be seeing them so it don't matter.
Certainly not a preferred option.
Agree
I will obviously go. But. Not the desired location
Even if they are the only shows they do. I'm just not into pearl jam enough these days to put up with the whole BDO dramas/hassles. Its not worth it to me.
I am!
