I think we can safely assume it's not going to be Arctic Monkeys. A band who are playing a headlining slot at Glastonbury and 2 of their own stadium shows a month later would have very little gain by supporting PJ, a band they have zero in common with, at an arena show.
I think Arctic Monkeys are great but I wouldn't want to see them opening for Pearl Jam.

I'm pretty sure he said they were not headlining at Glastonbury...and what Stadium shows? the Lancaster CCC you mean?..is that really stadium size? doubt it.
not that I think they'll open for PJ either.
their album is actually good, and they always come across very well in interviews
If you'll notice, my comment was not so much an attack on Arctic Monkeys as it was on NME.
And it's based on a truism: in my experience, this magazine - and the vast majority of bands associated with it - badmouth PJ constantly. The whole British Indie scene right now is pretentious and arrogant, and refuses to recognise anything great came before it (except maybe The Smiths *yawn*).
I haven't got time for it. All that said, I've nothing against the Arctic Monkeys personally. I'd rather have them at my party than Pete Docherty, given a choice.

*BANG* Thats you hitting the nail on the head
Did you read the review of Pj at Reading last year by NME? I was ready to fucking kill someone, not because they gave a negative review, if someone doesn't dig the band then thats their opinion (theyre wrong but I won't go into that ) but the review was just an attack on the band and the review of the album was even more slanted. I hate NME passionately, its filled with pretentious idiots.

Oh, I read on another site they were one of the headliners....it could be wrong of course but I'm sure they're playing high on the bill.
The Lancashire County Cricket Club shows have a capacity of 50,000 each, according to the venues official website.......I'd call that a stadium sized show

I saw REM there back in 2005, and the REM site and the CCC site said there were 55,000 people there. Definitely stadium size!
"This town deserves a better class of criminal... and I'm gonna give it to them."
i think they are ok, but i wouldn't go nuts over them like everyone in yorkshire has (well the uk), its all sensationalism, when my ancient, stuck up prick of a boss at work talks about them and the kaiser chiefs it all loses credability for me.
it was sweet at our managers meeting last year pre leeds festival (i'm a manager who works at a certain supermarket that provides service to the festival goers) and when they asked who's on, they all when nuts for the arctic monkeys and kooks but when i said, PJ are hedlining, they were like..................'who?', i had never more loved PJ at that moment in time

Yep, I saw REM at CCC. And David Bowie too.

People In Planes are terribly dull live though. I saw them opening for Biffy Clyro a few years ago and it seemed like they were just tuning up for the whole of their half hour set :(

Perhaps they were having a bad night;)
I saw them supporting Oceansize a while ago and actually prefered People in Planes They seemed to be enjoying themselves and I felt they had something.

Maybe.....it's a long time since I saw them.
What did you think of Oceansize?
I'm not a huge fan of their music but I used to be good friends with two of them at University so i always try and pop along to see them when they're playing

I really like Oceansize's first album. Second one not so much, it seems to be closer towards generic nu-metal to me. The first was a bit more inventive.
'We're learning songs for baby Jesus' birthday. His mum and dad were Merry and Joseph. He had a bed made of clay and the three kings bought him Gold, Frankenstein and Merv as presents.'
Nothing wrong with the Arctic Monkeys. Then again I am from the home of British music (Sheffield - a biased opinion!), although their second album will be the making of them - there's only so much you can sing about Sheffield, being young and drunk! I saw Get Cape, Wear Cape, Fly recently and he/they are very good, quite political - be right up PJ's street!
Rock on!!!!
Seen Pearl Jam 4 times in London, once in Manchester, as well as an Eddie show at Hammersmith.

Their doing another 3 week Escape from the Studio tour.
Metallica would never support PJ. I think Lars doesn't like PJ and Metallica are too big to support PJ in Wembley arena. Metallica would just do their own show at the stadium. Would be cool tho.

generic nu-metal? I'm not sure they fit that description. I think their 2nd record was actually better, they seemed more confident on it and a lot more of a together band.
I don't know whats happened to them recently. For reason best known to themselves, they went on a thankless tour with Fightstar and I think it might have finished them off. I know they were all thinking about doing different stuff.
On the first album, don't you think there's a part of song "Remember Where You Are" that sounds exactly like Oceans?

Yeah OK 'generic nu-metal' was maybe a bit harsh - they're not. I just found it slightly more predictable. Different strokes I guess.
And yeah, you're right about Oceans. I was listening through the whole album thinking 'I bet they like Pearl Jam'. I love 'One Day All This Will Be Yours'.

love oceansize, effloresce is on eof my favourite all time albums. and also....
As of Feb 2007, the band are writing their as yet untitled third album. Vennart posted an MP3 of a slow-moving recently recorded jam called 'Scribble Pad (Guide Dog)' on on Oceansize official message board on 3rd Feb 2007 1. It is unlikely that this work will appear anywhere, but was used solely as an appetizer for eager fans.
oh scary... 40000 morbidly obese christians wearing fanny packs invading europe is probably the least scariest thing since I watched an edited version of The Care Bears movie in an extremely brightly lit cinema.
stunned silence. everyone's thinking... "is he joking...?"
Oh yeah? Well, I've had about enough of morons and halfwits, dolts, dunces, dullards and dumbbells - and you chowderhead yokel, you blithering hayseed, you - you've had enough of me?
stunned silence. everyone's thinking... "is he joking...?"
