I'm sorry but why the fuck is this information coming out after wembley is sold out. As much as I'm looking forward to London (BABY!!!) I wouldn't be going if I had known they were playing Ireland. The same thing happened last year with Leeds being announced before Dublin and I ended up going to both!

Fuck it.....just frustrates me

God help ye going to two Pearl Jam shows!!



sorry... I know you have commitments that I don't have so I understand where yer coming from!

I would book Holland one way or the other because Oxegen will probably be crap anyway... I am actually going to Munich and Vienna.. excuse to see pals and an excuse to go to Austria and Germany in summer.

well you should be safe enough... cos they can't be in two places at once

Just get your Holland ticket but wait a couple of weeks to get the flight. You should have no problem selling it if you change your mind anyway

Ah but see... once you know about all the concerts and where you're going, then you can book everything. If they're playing in Ireland the next day, you could stay in Amsterdam a few days BEFORE the concert, then fly back here. Just dont book ANY flights yet cos there could be plenty of changes... and it's 6 months away so a week or two waiting isn't going to make much difference to the cost of the flight. There's no rush. Think about everything properly

Oxygen and T in the Park have had the same headliners as each other for years now.

If Pearl Jam playing Oxygen on Saturday 7th it should go hand in hand with playing T in the Park on Sunday 8th.........Glad i have my T in the Park tickets already booked. They are a nightmare to get when they go on public sale in February.

Hope this happens. PJ for TITP

I saw an interview with Henry Mount Charles, where he said after Madonna and Eminem he realised that pop acts don't really cut it at Slane, and from now on he'll be looking for rock bands. Thing about Slane is that it's near impossible to get anywhere near the front. On the other hand, Oxegen is shite, though I'd imagine with a day ticket you could ignore the shit parts.

Hey folks. I'm an irish import from the Red mosquito forum. First up. Someone posted about the curfew at Oxegen. Well, as I recall, I saw James Brown coming on stage well after 1 AM last year, after the who. So I can't foresee any problems on that score. Secondly, I also heard, last summer, that PJ were set to play Slane in the Spring/early summer this year. So I would suggest that that option not be ruled out just yet, if it's been going on for that long. My contact also works for MCD. I must give him a call.

There have been rumours of Pearl Jam playing Slane the past few years...

No worries. He made that festival for me. I'm not a big fan of his music, but up to that point the whole Oxegen experience stank. The Who were good, the rest I couldn't give a flying fuck for. Only 2 bands will ever get me back at that god awful place, Pj and Metallica.

After last year's festival I said to myself... I will only ever go back to oxegen if Pearl Jam play there.... I never thought that likely in a million years though.... Its the type of place I would like to think Pearl Jam would ignore.

EDIT: But obviously if they do play it because it's their only option then I'll understand...

Spoke to my man again today... yes its a double deal they are in talks about T in the Park and Oxegen... I think playing two huge shows in a week would make it worthwhile staying in europe for an extra week plus if Oxegen is good enough for the Who - its good enough for Pearl Jam.
My source tells me the sticking point is that they want to know the rest of the line up. They also expressed a desire to play in Kilkenny the day after Wembley at the Source but this is not possible because Aitken and not MCD promote that festival and Pearl Jam are tied to MCD. They also refused to play the Point because of the early curfew and some problems with accoustics that they apparently had last year (which I must say I did not notice)....

I've been telling people for ages that Pearl Jam are definitely playing it,I was jsut doin it tog et their hopes up though...Oxegen is the biggest scumbag fest on earth but it's only five minutes from my house so I don't mind.You'd better not be lying!
