Global Citizen Festival - 26th September 2015

Olivavu · July 2015

The big announcement has been made!

Great to see them listed as headliner, but I'm not sure I like the idea of PJ playing alongside Beyonce, Coldplay and Ed Sheeran.

Then don't go

Olivavu · July 2015

In case you hadn't noticed by the gigs I've been to, I don't live in the US so won't be going anyway.

I respect the ethical values of Global Citizen, but the variety in the crowd will be 'interesting'.

Hmm... Pearl Jam playing a concert a 10-minute walk from my apartment... decisions, decisions... ;-)

It's a no brainer!

It's the day before my birthday and I would love to go, but I don't think it'll happen!

Can't find out what the cost difference is between the three VIP levels. Anyone?? Ticketmaster site only says Price range is $150 to $175, which seems off for three levels of VIP.

Will Help Help be played?

I don't know.

But I do know that free tickets are available: https://www.globalcitizen.org/en/content/how-you-get-to-2015-global-citizen-festival/

Why do you care who they play alongside? Their music is going to be just as good regardless of who goes on before or after.

The variety of the crowd will be interesting? What does that even mean? Isn't the whole purpose of this to draw people in with different backgrounds/cultures?
Please don t go.

Heh, I'm not queuing up in a park all day. ;-) I'll pay to be guaranteed a spot in a close-ish area.

I'm in Boston as well. Just threw down on an 11:30 PM Megabus ticket. Only $5. Show is done at 10 PM so there's plenty of time to catch a ride home that same night.

Well, the festival's website says the show will "probably" start at 3pm and wrap up around 10pm. Last act probably goes on around 8pm.

Please don t go.

He could be reffering to the fact that each artist is kinda different and that will attract a very wide audience. Kids, teens, families, college kids, and us PJers (which span all generations).

This. Also, keep in mind that Pearl Jam might not even be playing last. There's plenty out there to make us reason they will be but nothing official.

No shit each artist is "kinda" different. So what s the point?

I won't be going, but I don't see why there's any need for a comment like that.

Exactly.

I wouldn't expect there to be much of a crossover between Beyoncé and Pearl Jam fans.

I would hope not too. Her music is banal nonsense.

Ed Sheeran and Coldplay are about as bland as guitar music gets.

Hopefully PJ will turn some people on to better things.

When I see PJ I like it to be in a crowd who are there for them.

I don't like it when there are people who aren't interested standing around chatting etc.

A proper PJ crowd is the best there is.

Best case they go on last and guess who will be left? All PJ fans.

And unfortunately even if it's a PJ show there are still idiots who sit down the whole time or stand around chatting.

Olivavu · July 2015

Yeah, you would not expect Beyoncé fans to hang on for PJ.

Olivavu · July 2015

And there are the occasional idiots at PJ gigs too, unfortunately, you're right.

Two guys were talking very loudly at Leeds last year and I had to tell them to shut up.

It's fucking inconsiderate.

riggo44 · July 2015

Got 2 VIP 3 tickets! So excited! Thank you Ten Club! Anyone else score some tickets?

cmalisze · July 2015

ISO 2 VIP tickets. Please help. Thanks!

Melgmor · July 2015

My husband and I got 2 VIP 3 tix. Can't wait. We saw them last in Trieste and that is far too long ago. Our fingers are crossed for a Canadaian tour next!
