PJ at Jazz Fest will NOT be the place to be if you want a long show and to actually get close...just look up the pics for last year when Elton John played at Acura, it was ridiculous...I was there...walked away over to Congo Square...it was absolutely horrible crowd.

how big of a crowd is jazz fest? 60k?

I just don't think I could do any big festivals at this point. Bonnaroo, Lola or the next Woodstock.

If they were to play 1 Chicago show (an hour away from me) this year and if it were Lollapalooza, I'd be out. Just like last time they played it.

I iwsh Roo could have happened this past year because I just don't see it being feasible in 2016

How's the drive from NYC? lol
I'm not doing it, just curious if others have

In 2008, Bonnaroo had PJ on the schedule for a two-hour set, which would be the last one of the night on the main stage. After some schedule juggling, the fest appeased egomaniac Kanye West by letting him also have the main stage during the overnight hours (set to start more than two hours later than PJ's scheduled end), and even with another artist due up, PJ overran to almost three hours total.

The night before, My Morning Jacket played the midnight set at the second stage, and were allowed to go four hours (including a short intermission). Because Bonnaroo is on a private farm, and the stages are far from all neighbors, there's no curfew and the headliner shows can go as long as they need to.

Yea that MMJ set is legendary.

That MMJ set is one of the best sets I've ever listened to from any band ever.

The late night slot is the spot to get, not the headlining spot. Just look at how MMJ had to keep it to 2 hours last year when people were expecting at least 3.

How long are the headliners' sets at Bonnaroo usually?

If they play there I may consider going. Would probably depend on who else would be there.

1 hour & 45 minutes - 2 hours

But Bonnaroo allows the headliners to play as long as they want to without penalty and curfew. Jack White played 45 minutes over during his set in 2013

Yeah I know that about Jack, that's why I said 1h45min-2hrs, but I didn't know that headliners can play as long as they want! Sweet! I thought that only he played longer than usual.

For me that set catapulted them into one of my top 3 bands

Any chance the entire April/May tour is scrapped and they do a tour centered around bonaroo (similar to how 2013 was centered around ACL)? I figured the delay had something to do with Roo or perhaps coachella
PJ's 08 bonaroo set was amazing. That said, I've been back once since and I'm pretty sure I'll never go back.

As for the speculation that they are playing jazz fest, I seriously doubt it since they played it in 09 and voodoo in 13. I don't have any inside knowledge, just mere speculation after knowing PJ's tour patterns and the fact it's in my region ...

Can we start some speculation they are coming to Houston please???

There are so many tour threads I just cannot keep up!

That possibility has crossed my mind as well.

No way I could stand being around a bunch of hipsters for 3 days without cutting off some manbuns ha

I would be out of festivals too, im past that point in my life, but like I said before those who enjoy festivals will have a blast, but just not for me

in my humble opinion I think all those previous dates that were legit are now scrapped

TheGossman

Im thinking we will now see a tour very similar to the tour they did in 08 but more extensive. Now that the tour will prob start in June I think it will start in West Palm then make its way up. That's my prediction.

I heard roo is official

I'm old. I dont want to camp out for three days in 100 degree weather
