Bring Pearl Jam to Darwin

filthy_canvis

Just going to put this out there early in case of a 2012 Australian tour. I have found myself living in a wonderful relaxed piece of this awesome country of ours, Darwin. Where the only major downfall is it is ages away from everywhere else in Australia.

I missed the EV tour 2011 because I was a little tied up becoming a solider at the end of my training I was posted up here to Darwin, I couldn't have wanted anything less. But as a glass half full kind of guy I've made the best of it. we have beautiful weather, never cold, awesome storms and the people up here are so relaxed (because it's to hot not to be). The night life is so good it takes me back to the 90's when you could still see live bands everywhere. in the main street in Darwin where all the clubs are you can see live bands in at least 10 places, this in it's self is a rear jewel for Australia now days.

However because of Darwin being so far away from everything this wonderful little city never gets bands touring. So I ask next time Pearl Jam are in our part of the world, drop in, play a show, have a beer and see the most relaxed city in Australia.

Hey Im with you! Darwin is fantastic, have visited twice, and totally have a loveaffair with this bueat of a town!!!
To see Pearl Jam in Darwin would be an absolute dream.

I realise getting bands to come to smaller cities like Darwin must be a challenge, but then again, South America, Costa Rica, etc is probably not a walk in the park either, in regards to logistics, security etc.
Darwin; im sure would make a beautiful, energizing, happy, and welcome place for our favourite band to visit.

PEARL JAM; PLEASE PLAY DARWIN, NT, AUSTRALIA!!!

Signed; One who loves Darwin, and PJ, a match made beautiful in the the Top End

Oh, and cheers, mate!

No come on, does the moon have a beautiful tropical coastal town, adjacent to one of the most interesting and unique national parks on THIS planet? Kakadu if you haven´t visited offers aweinspiring vistas of waterways and ancient escarpments.

Have Eddie, Mike, Jeff, Stone and Matt, maybe Boom also, treck through the bushland, arrive at the riverbed and
like I did float on air mattresses amongst crocs ( in this case, mostly harmless to humans, as sweet water crocs.)Down the small creek to arrive at; Twin Falls.

Or go bushwalking with an Aboriginal guide, visiting places that has rockpaintings in excess of 60,000 years. camping out at night sleeping on the ground in a swag, and maybe having a certain German co-adventerurer stealing all the oranges at night... (Sorry...not part of the narrative but I had to let that one out, so annoying)

Or just barely between the two shows they would play have a few days off and enjoy the local nightlife, and absolutely wonderful people, that are the locals of the capital of the Top End.

Seriously; Going to Australia, and not taking the time (and small effort, nowadays with cheap airliners) to visit the Top End, have really not sensed and experienced the essence of Australia-

Pearl Jam, please, take a little more time and effort next time. Oh and make next time, real soon yeah?

Cheers, J

darwin , I said it second.

I'm Sydney based but would love to see the guys play the top end. Would def be traveling for that one.

zezito

That would be awesome.

I'd definitely change whatever plans I have to come to beautiful Darwin to watch PJ there.

It wouldn't be a bad idea to do something like Benaroya Hall in Darwin! Now, that would be epic!

Should start a petition, it does work! Newcastle was one of their best concerts ever, and it started with a petition.

What a great idea from a very Filthy man . PJ acoustic-Outdoors-Darwin :P

Loulou

Would be great to see them up in Darwin... and I haven't ever been either so would give me an excuse to go

Darwin is a crazy place, all sorts of weird and whacky news stories come out of there.

It's so muggy up there, no wonder peops go nuts...had a great time there eons ago, I wonder if the Vic hotel still rages? Would love PJ to play Darwin, would be there in a flash.

invest-it-all

I'd definitely go!

filthy_canvis

You can go anywhere in t-shirt shorts and thongs

also on this note, i am from Canberra and we were lucky enough for ED to come to a show on his solo tour, it was truly amazing and i think ED really enjoyed the show too.... it would be great to see them come back seeing as they haven't been here since 95', and i feel the same for Darwin , beautiful place

E.K

Darwin would be fun but it would have to be during the winter months or we'll all go Troppo.

Found a venue too. the TIO stadium where they play the AFL when it comes here. It's about the same ground size as the stadium in chch 09.
