Gulp. I better wait for night time then. Luckily there are no street lights where I live.

It might not happen, but it seems to have been coming from a few different sources so it seems fairly legit.

We'll know soon enough.

I remember the 98, 03, 06 and 09 bdo tour rumors for pearl jam.
All I can say is every time the bdo/pj rumor appears then they generally tour shortly after

I hope this is the same

Though the rumors previously have never had so much potency behind them
Fingers crossed ladies and gents... Or EK is getting her tits out :S

shouldn't we have our fingers crossed that the rumours are false so E.K. has to get her tits out???


also i wouldn't say these have been more potent, i've only seen it mentioned here and the triple m site thing.

No headliner starts with 'R'. Rules out the other big rumour that radiohead are headlining...

Excited but don't think this will happen

Same. On a side note, some headliners do a BDO tour, then come back later in the year for their own tour (muse 2010, tool were meant to in 2007)

Where there's smoke...

I would prefer their own arena tour but I'm sure they'll still be great shows (if it happens, that is.)

I do hope the sideshows are in arenas (if not smaller venues), not separate stadium shows. That would kind of suck.

How much longer before the official announcement? It's just gone 12 noon in the UK on the 27th, BTW...

Spencer

Most of line-up released Thursday night with three headliners announced Friday morning.

Thanks Spencer!

So come the weekend, we'll know one way or the other.

Um no... I'm saying that IF Pearl Jam play the BDO I will run around the block naked because I'm fairly certain that they won't.

Good point about PJ touring the same year as the BDO rumours. That should mean a tour late next year hopefully .. it will be 3 years by then and the new album will be finished.

Spencer

Supposedly leaked line-up announcement, take it with the recommended grain of salt of course.

Thanks to the secret squirrel for the tip off!

PEARL JAM

The rest….

SYSTEM OF A DOWN

KASABIAN
SOULWAX / 2MANYDJS (2 Sets)
FLORENCE + THE MACHINE
THE LIVING END
MY CHEMICAL ROMANCE
CHASE & STATUS
SUM 41
WIZ KHALIFA
ART VS SCIENCE
ESKIMO JOE
BOY AND BEAR
JOSH PYKE
JEBEDIAH
DRAPHT
SARAH MCLEOD
ILLY
OWL EYES

To welcome our headliner, we couldn’t find any better man than Eddie Vedder. That’s right ladies and gentlemen, PEARL JAM will headline the main stage of BIG DAY OUT 2012. Having last touched down on our shores in 2009, PEARL JAM will celebrate the 20th anniversary of their album Ten, with our 20th anniversary. With 20 years under their belt, songs from Even Flow to Amongst The Waves, will endure to all crowds of BIG DAY OUT. As we wish PEARL JAM a Happy 20th Anniversary, they wish us and ensure that it is going to be one heck of a celebration. (ALL SHOWS)

...the line-up might be real (who knows) but I'm suspicious of the press release junk underneath. It's so poorly written that I can't imagine it being legitimate. LOL @ the crowd "enduring" Even Flow and Amongst the Waves (actually, now I think about it...)

The plot thickens, etc.

Well gunnar need video proof or it didn't happen. Or an eye witness account.

Sorry but it will be at night and there are no street lights where I live ... so no-one will see it except maybe the local kangaroos

Haha that "press release" is classic (the wording, I mean).

Reminds me of those fake "pj buzz buzz" dates in previous years. He/she'd post a 50-date tour, people would get excited for 10 minutes, until someone checked that half the dates and venues were booked for hockey or basketball Immediate debunk.

Overall I'm with Spencer here though... it's not your typical rumour. We'll see.

Praying like hell they aren't on the bill tbh.

fake? didnt you go to the 10c max masters gig?

May just happen (though I'm praying hard it doesn't). After all, Neil Young and The Who did headline few years ago.

threefish10

So they are announcing 17 bands on Thursday night, then 3 headliners Friday morn on triple j. Now my mathematical genius tells me that equals 20 bands. BDO is celebrating it's 20th year, do you think it may be one band from each year? Can they even pull that off?

Now that would be good. They're doing a recap of each year on the BDO Official Facebook page.

I never thought I would be happy that PJ were not touring, but I have to say I am pleased no BDO 2012.

Except last night the bdo organizer said that no headliner started with the letter r

Spencer

LOL @ Nui Te Koha being the source that Pearl Jam "changed their mind". As if that could feasibly happen at this late stage and as if the band would sign onto any festival contract without being 100% certain that safety was being looked after.

I think we can safely call that article bullshit.
