    Also he replied to someone else and basically said even if they book another band it doesn't mean PJ can't play a longer set
    Pearl Jam Pearl Jam Pearl Jam!

    I'm looking to buy a single ticket to Ed's Sydney Opera House show, PM me if you've got a spare! I don't care where the seat is! :D

    Got a response already

    I asked - @iamnotshouting is a longer set for Pearl Jam possible now that Blur have pulled out? A lot of people think that would be a great idea!

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

    :D:clap: we can only hope they approach PJ and the answer is Of COURSE!


    Quick, someone start a petition!!!!

    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.

    but then from their press release they 100% blame BDO management for "changing the goalposts". they were given the final set time from the get go weren't they? and have been on the bill the entire time, so what changed? i $mell $omething el$e i$ involved here considering they've undersold tickets... but i could be wrong.
    Yeh I've seen Pearl Jam, too. But I can't remember the dates.

    I reckon BDO management tried to alter the contracts to be honest.
    Come to send, not condescend...

    TBH I wouldn't even cry too much if they do get cancelled. If it means not getting to see PJ while I'm there, then I'll just HAVE to work out seeing them in Europe 2014 :twisted:
    People go on vacations without the intent of attending a concert all the time right? I've heard of this practice, it seems to be fairly common. :fp: :corn:

    My vacations usually entail staying up late watching some tv series. i mean, really.

    i don't want it to be cancelled.. unless it means a guarantee that we get them back sooner rather than later.

    i know cancellations don't necessarily mean the band will return (cough queens of the stone age cough cough)
  • EmmEmm Posts: 196
    I really don't think one headline act pulling out will see the whole thing cancelled .... however I am hoping they dont put on another band and let PJ play as long as they want :D .... im also hoping this means there will be less people and a some what more intimate show ... now how good would that be! :D

    I'll take Bowie's part. He can be Freddie for a change.

    If they HAVE to get a replacement band I hope it's the foo fighters.

    I think it will be an Australian band .... its to late to try and get an offshore band now ... the easy answer would be just letting PJ play longer ... lets hope that the BDO organisers are lazy lol

    Hmmm... Powderfinger could reunite for BDO. That would be good.

    a lot of possible replaements here. looks like they are close to finalising someone/ones. Soundgarden would be awesome however Matt would be busy :lol:

    Hoping like hell for a longer PJ set but can't see it happening with all the bookies taking bets now, they know.

    In the article above they were talking about a reunion show for Silverchair or Powderfinger but really?? for BDO??? I think thats highly unlikely! :lol:
