    Blur cancelling is certainly going to annoy a lot of their fans!

    Sorry to fans of Blur, but I hope that PJ end up playing a longer set because of this!

    all we can hope for is a longer PJ set as some sort of silver lining in what is a total embarrassment for BDO management.

    (we told you, pearl jam. BDO is a shit festival).
    Yeh I've seen Pearl Jam, too. But I can't remember the dates.

    I hope they can the whole thing and PJ do their own tour with Mudhoney.
    Come to send, not condescend...
  • E.KE.K Posts: 7,713
    To be honest I'm kind of hoping that the whole festival is cancelled and that Pearl Jam come here for a proper tour at a later date next year. Of course that wouldn't be fair for all the people who have booked and paid for airfares etc. but I''m still half sick at the thought of having to go to BDO just to see PJ.

    The CEO of the BDO, Adam Zammit retweeted this comment from another twitter user:

    "@AdamZammit No need to replace Blur. @Pearljam are pulling out 3+ hour sets in USA - I was at Brooklyn. Get them to do their real full set".

    It would be awesome if Zammit could arrange for PJ to have a full set :).

    That's brilliant - let's all start a Twitter campaign to give pearl jam blur's time slot. Who else from BDO should we tweet at?
    Though if blur wanted to be the last ones on I kinda wonder if pearl jam's habit of playing long sets over their allotted time might not have had something to do with why blur was having issues with the organisers. :?

    Blur wanted to swap spots with Arcade Fire, to play before PJ on the mainstages. They were difficult to deal with, even for BDO who has been dealing with big and sometimes difficult bands for over 20yrs.

    The Replacements would be good replacement, LOL. But I hope The Flaming Lips get the gig. Makes sense, with Tame Impala on the tour, and them being chummy at the moment. Or a Crowded House/Finn brothers gig. Or a Silverchair reunion, being in Australia where they are big enough to pull it off.

    If they had to replace Blur then ^^ would be terrific! But honestly ... I just hope they let PJ play longer ... would almost make up for no side shows :)

    And the response- AJ ‏@iamnotshouting
    @AshleeGrigg It is a possbility, but it will be up to the band.
