im not sure why anyone would call it a sell out move. all the festivals that Pj has played in the past are commercial as hell. lolla may have been alternative at one point. it certainly isnt now. I think this festival is the opposite of a commercial move. they could be headlining any number of established commercial festivals. this isnt one of them

i agree. on the contrary, i think it's a pretty bold move on pearl jam's part. but 'sell-out' is the general feeling i get from a lot of the board posts today.

I would imagine most of the sell out talk comes from the Bud association. I think this is fucking awesome.
and how did that work out? did you go to that show? seems like a lot of people will be very far away. i'll be there regardless, but i'm hoping it's not too difficult to get within 50 yards of the stage.

i was there yes and i couldn't even see the stage.
However that was Live 8 which had a couple hundred thousand people there. This should be a little better with about 50,000 people there.

Guess no love for hometown festival (Bumbershoot) not to sure about the whole Jay-Z thing. Dont understand recently what is up with all of these festivals.
I'm pretty sure this festival is an Obama fundraiser in a roundabout way.
Im going to check it out...A show is a show...Probably wont see much of them until next year...Springsteen is in Philly the 2nd so I wonder if he will make an appearance. PJ21
why not just play some real shows around that time?
a festival thats gonna be way over-crowded with kids who don't have any idea who pearl jam is :roll:
PEARL JAM....what has happened since you turned 20??
enjoy all..this is not even worth a 2nd thought
I could care less about there old or new beliefs Jay. ALL I CARE ABOUT IS THE MUSIC!!!!! To miss a show from ur fav band when its a train ride away is foolish.
im done with overcrowded festivals where i can't see anything ...its great for you guys in philly but i'd rather be on the beach
it has nothing to do with selling out..i could care less
i'm just done with any type of festival..not my bag
i post on the board of a band that doesn't exsist anymore .......i need my head examined.......
No it won't. There will be less fix sold for this festival.
They said around 50k the day it was announced. Live 8 was hundreds of thousands, I believe.
Live 8 was a free show. It was absolute madness, but they had plenty of speakers no matter how far back you were on BF Parkway......This shouldn't be as bad. I CAN'T WAIT!
PHILADELPHIA - May 21, 2012 (WPVI) -- After a week of wait, the lineup for the music festival, to be hosted by Jay-Z in Philadelphia, has been announced.
The artists announced are: Jay-Z, Pearl Jam, Skrillex, Miike Snow, Afrojack, Calvin Harris, Odd Future, D'Angelo, Maybach Music (feat. Rick Ross, Wale, Meek Mill), Passion Pit, Santigold, Dirty Projectors, X, Janelle Monae, Prince Royce, Rita Ora, Savoy (DJ set), The Knocks.
The above list is being called Phase 1 of the Budweiser Made in America Fest.
it's going to be at the philadelphia museum of art, so west (rittenhouse area) would make more sense. if you're around city hall either way, it's not a bad walk.
Rittenhouse is east of the venue, but you're right, anywhere in Center City is a walk to the venue (probably less than a mile, depending on where you choose to stay).

This is the first I've heard about Janelle Monae on the bill. Great news there. It has also all but been confirmed that the Roots are playing. And I read that Jay-Z has said that he would like for Beyonce to perform, which would just make me lose my shit. I've been dying to see Beyonce for a while now, and it looks like I finally have an excuse, and the opportunity to make it happen.

I swear to God I'll never understand all the various complaints these announcements seem to bring... I like to think this is good karma for being happy the last 2 years for all the folks who got shows in their backyards. All I know is that I was having an utterly rotten day when an email pops in that the PJ fix I've been wanting so badly is going to be satisfied not 2 hours from my backyard. So THANK YOU, PEARL JAM! Hell, I don't care, I'll even thank JayZ!
(Went to Bamboozle on Saturday, paid a little over a hundred bucks, showed up right before Foos went on, left right after, had a great time, worth every penny, but the PJ experience will kick its ASS.)
this reminds me of early 90s Pearl Jam in a huge way.
playing back to back some days with Ice Cube, recording with Cypress Hill, Stone and Jeff promoting hip-hop groups in interviews and on the radio (they still do actually), etc. I would've hated for PJ to play some ultra-indie-rock fest. They'd stick out like a sore thumb there. I'm glad they're playing one with true diversity.
Here we go again with the shouts of "Sell Outs" from the roof tops. Keep on shouting, and please, by all means, DON'T BUY TICKETS TO THE FESTIVAL, that way it's easier for folks like me to get my hands on tickets. This is perfect for me and my boyfriend, as he listens to mostly hip-hop with a bit of rock sprinkled in, I listen to mostly rock with bits of hip hop and r&b mixed in. Perfect. I was sad that Atlanta would be hard for me to get to, Philly will be much easier.

i have not heard most of these people. jay z needs to get more rock, what about tool or a perfect circle, or soundgarden the other night pj isnt playing , matt can drum 2 days in row, or AT the drive in would be sick. just no more rap. whats an afrojack?
is there single day tickets for this? all i can find is 2 day festival pass tickets, there is gonna not sell single day tickets?
I hear Skrillex puts on a really good show. He was inspired by Daft Punk's 2007 tour, and hopefully you saw that and remember how great it was (esp. if you were at 2007 Lolla for Pearl Jam and caught Daft Punk too). I'm excited for Pearl Jam, but also happy to see more artists. I wish Eminem would be there too....
Janelle Monae is good, and Calvin Harris has a good sound. This seems like a good lineup.

usually single day tix are released later on if there released at all
I just hope it's not like a 90 degree muggy day, because it gets packed in when concerts are on the Parkway:
Oh, it's at the Art Museeum, I've been there because of the ROCKY steps and statue, it was 3 years ago. Suppose I was a little bit early then......

In case it hasn't been mentioned, the $99 2-day passes are limited, I'm guessing the regular sale on Wednesday will be more expensive. From the Facebook Made in America Page:
Now that phase 1 of the lineup is out, the ticket presale is tomorrow! RSVP for the Budweiser Made In America Festival Facebook Event to get a presale code for a limited number of $99 dollar tickets that go on sale 10AM EST Tuesday, May 22nd. . https://www.facebook.com/events/4187704 ... l_activity
