    Looking at the most recent tour...3 hour setlists, 30-35 songs, no opener on the east coast leg...maybe they will skip festivals altogether. They don't mix with the way the band has been doing things this tour.

    They mix just fine and we know this because Bruce has been doing more and more festivals in recent years in Europe. Three hours is a short E Street Band show these days. Some of the Springsteen festival sets are shorter but in most cases, he has negotiated for at least a three hour block.

    That means 2 really big names visiting that relatively small festival :? Can Jan Smeets financially arrange that?
    Or maybe the tickes will be more expensive so that we indirectly pay the salary of Eddie and James, haha :lol:
    For me it will be okay of course, as I only live one hour away from "Landgraaf" :D

    Hopefully next week that they will announce their European tour dates. :)

    No.

    It's, as John Connor would put it, Easy money.

    There is this unique mountain-region spot in Switzerland that was supposed to host Radiohead a couple years ago in conjunction with the Montreux Jazz Festival which runs during the first 2 weeks of July.

    Unfortunately Radiohead had that horrible stage accident and several shows, including the Swiss one, were cancelled.

    It would be sensational if Pearl Jam could do a show in that place

    New festival in Sweden called "Stockholm Fields" in May. Metallica and Slayer are announced. Maybe Pearl Jam will be too... who knows:P

    But it's only one day, so guess not.

    But maybe Way Out West in Gothenburg in August, maybe....

    They should come back to Sweden anyways!

    Why are you all so obsessed with festivals? I hope they don't play any festivals next summer, more own shows = better. Last year was perfect.

    I hate festivals. But IF PJ was to return to Sweden, I'm pretty sure it would be a festival show. Just because festivals suck.

    With regards to the UK, all the evidence does point to an appearance at Glastonbury.

    Glastonbury organisers have confirmed their headliners are "bands" rather than "artists". They've confirmed that all 3 headliners have never played the festival before (which Pearl Jam haven't) and it's been widely reported that Glastonbury have been after the band for many years. With the rumour of a Pearl Jam tour in June, the stars seem to be aligning for this.

    Given the way in which PJ tour, it's then unlikely that there will be any further UK dates. Many Glastonbury headliners play their own shows around the festival but PJ will likely only tour Europe for 3 to 4 weeks maximum. That's a lot of countries to get around in such a short space of time. Glastonbury must be an attractive prospect to the band. It's the UK's most legendary music event and most of the greatest bands in history have headlined the festival.


    The other option as i see it will be for the band to scrap festival shows completely and concentrate on their own outdoor, stadium type shows. They're certainly big enough now in Europe to be a stadium/park sized attraction.
    A democracy on paper, apparently well ordered, regularly subverted by irrational chaos.
