Rumor: Pearl Jam and Kings of Leon for Hawaii The new issue of Rolling Stone magazine has the following not-so-blind item about postponed U2 Hawaiian tour in its "Smoking Section": You didn't hear it from us, but book a trip ASAP for the Aloha State in early December for a year-end blowout featuring KOL [Kings of Leon], Pearl Jam and (most likely) a Certain Band from Ireland.

    good point because it's U2's last show of the Vertigo tour so they will be on for at least 2 hours.

    Maybe a bit of a Euro-type half day festival???

    I think it is pretty close to confirmation on PJ in HAwaii later this year... so as cool as it would be to see U2 I am not sure if I would rather a lower price/more PJ or a chance to see both amazing bands on the same bill????

    The rumoured date seems to be 9 December. Not that I have a chance in hell of being there myself.

    went to 3 vertigo tour shows this year u2 played over 2 hours each night normally between 2:15 and 2:30!

    this would be an amazing show! any idea when we might find out if this is true?

    I hope Pj does there own show. I already have GA field tickets for the U2 show. However, id rather see them each do full shows (maybe back to back nights)
    Im Rick James bitch!

    The tickets for the U2 show (rumored to be) Dec. 9th have already been put on sale when the original concert was planned for April 8. That show (and the last 3 weeks of their tour) was postponed in early MArch. The GA field tickets were priced about $50 ($60 with ticketbastard fees) Quite affordable if concert going is one of your hobbies. U2 fans have been told to hold onto their tickets and to use them for the rescheduled date.

    If this does pan out (and I think that it will) it will be interesting to see how 10C will handle the fan ticket sales...

    well KOL did open for U2 last year and they are playing with PJ in Australia this year so it sounds like a possible line-up. Man that would be the best gig ever and I'm not even a U2 fan by any stretch.
    I'm just flying around the other side of the world to say I love you

    Sha la la la i'm in love with a jersey girl

    I love you forever and forever :)

    It's not the Eddie V issue. It's the new one.

    ok here is what is not making sense to me....
    someone posted above that U2 fans wer told to hang onto thier tix to be honoured at the rescheduled date correct??
    if that is the case and if U2 is playing the same venue, and its either sold out or close to....
    that is not going to leave alot of extra tix for PJ of the general public to buy, let alone the Ten Club to sell...
    and since the band has not been to Hawaii for a long time... i don't see the Ten Club stiffing ppl like this...

    maybe they are working something out or are just going to be in the same area at the same time ala U2 and PJ in Toronto/Southern Ontario last year...

    anyway just my thoughts!

    it would be awesome if it were actually true though!

    I sure as hell hope its not PJ w/ U2.
    Im not traveling 5000 miles for another 90 minute set. (well i will but i wont like it)
    Unless they switch it up this time. u2 be the opener.
    I honestly hope this doesnt get annonced for at least 2 months. Im not done paying of leg 1 yet.

    there was always a rumor that u2 wanted to add another show in april before the tour was postponed so im assuming this might be what thats about! however if its the vertigo tour set up (which i assume it is) the floor is all GA seats so it will be interesting to see if its true what the 10 club does or doesnt do!

    yeah, like that'd happen haha. I was half thinking to go but if its a bill like this, not so sure. Its a lot to spend and a lot of time to hear a short PJ set. But it would be nice to get out of the hellhole I live in, to some nice sunny temperate climate for a few days that time off year......

    I find it highly unlikely that this will happen, but, trust me - if it does, it will be the gig of a lifetime for me. I've travelled 3000 miles to hear 4 songs and it was certainly worth it!

    this IS true!!!
    (and I absolutely hate know-it-alls,but in this case I HAVE to share with you guys)
    The Hawaii trip for Pearl Jam IS on!! I just got confirmation from someone holding the tour itenary in his hand...he ceratinly knows what's up. I spoke to my crew friend on the road last weekend and he's meeting up with me in LA saturday when they roll in to town for the Forum shows here on Sun and Mon. I'll see what other news or info he can give me and I'll let you know what the plans are for Hawaii.

    I don't think the debate is whether or not PJ is playing Hawaii...we all know they are....it was are they doing a joint show with U2.
    That even your buddy with the itenerary can't know yet.

    Here's what we need to know -- WHAT DAY ARE PEARL JAM SCHEDULED TO PLAY?? If it's Dec. 9 then it is most likely with U2!
  • leadbedr10leadbedr10 Posts: 409
    How could they add pj to a sold out show?
    would everyone have to use ebay for tix?
    there is no way they are playing together.
  • vmfuryvmfury Posts: 1,091
    After seeing them with TP, it sucked to go to a show PJ played with another headlining band. I've been waiting for a Hawaii show and I'll be bummed to see U2 for a full set and then maybe an hour of PJ. Don't get me wrong.....I'll take what I can get and will be going to Hawaii regardless, but I was hoping for JUST Pearl Jam. WOW....I sound like a spoiled bitch over here. ;)
    We’ll meet again, but not yet…not yet.

    SURE!! I will absolutely find out by this sat night and relay any info i get to YoU :)
  • westendgirlwestendgirl Posts: 11
    FYI -- The original U2 show (which was supposed to have been April 8) NEVER did sell out. (Rock concerts just don't seem to be a priority in Hawaii.)

    This being said, I'm still not convinced that PJ and U2 will play the same bill. It could very well be that PJ plays a different night in the same week. At any rate it appears that Hawaii will be the place to be in December!
  • washmylungswashmylungs Posts: 61
    i already have tickets to the U2 show, been waiting forever for the new date to be announced, had the trip booked for April when it was cancelled. (the Dec. 9th date has been the latest rumor for a while now) i HIGHLY doubt this will happen, but oh my lord...if it did i think i might have a heart attack from excitment, my two favorite bands, by far, on one show.
