Hi Pearl Jam friends!!
I am trying to decide on where to go to see PJ in 2012. Really only have two options. Should I go to stockholm or the festival option in Arras???

    I have to choose between Werchter and Arras and so far most people have been telling me Werchter. In your case, I would definitely go to Stockholm because it is a private show and not a festival (if I am not mistaken) which equals a longer show!!! And less people! And it's in Sweden, which I think is a bit cooler than the area around Arras.

    I'm making Arras but i would advice you to choose Stockholm as it is a Pearl Jam show!

    Let's be honest! You choose Arras when you have no choice! :evil:

    I would definately go for Stockholm - its a great city and a great time of year to go. Plus its their main show

    I went to Arras in 2010 to see PJ - A good relaxed vibe at the place but i have seen PJ over 15 times and this show was by far the shortest i have ever seen them play.

    Coming form the dude in France :)

    I was also a bit torn about whether to do Werchter/Arras/Berlin, or Berlin/Stockholm/Oslo, decided to do Berlin/Stockholm Oslo because those are PJ shows. Arras is a festival and it doesn't sound like many people had good experiences there.

    Thanks for the comments so far..... My gf is coming with me and this will be her first PJ concert so I thought the festival option might be good but my preference is stockholm. I like the idea of a PJ only show!!!

    Marseille in 2006 was a fantastic Show so please stop the France's hate :mrgreen: .

    I agree it's better to see Pearl Jam alone but Arras is not that bad. I will go again this year (with Amsterdam and Werchter) and I'm sure I will enjoy it a lot. A day with Pearl Jam is always a good one 8-) .

    I think Arras was probably the shortest show of the 2010 tour?
