    I personally like Mudhoney, but I guess that's the Seattle in me. If there is an opener, it would make perfect sense that it's Mudhoney especially since they're releasing a new album this year. I suppose it's likely that there will be an opener at the show since it says "Headlining" and wasn't billed as "An Evening With....", but I guess we'll have to wait and see what happens in August. Either way it will be an epic couple of shows that we've been craving here in Seattle for too long!
    I hope it's Mudhoney as well.

    Well, there's one in every crowd. Or maybe two. But not more than two.

    When's the last time they had an opening band for a proper PJ show?  And why would they start now?  Unless the opener is playing at 6pm, I'm all set.

    They had Off and BRMC open for them in the UK in 2014.  Off I could have done without, but BRMC were great and we still got an epic length show from PJ.  Was a cool day.

    The Milton Keynes show was great with the openers noted above. Didn't affect the PJ show length or performance (which was awesome) and it suited the venue. A big open space where you were encouraged to get there a bit earlier and take in the support bands. BRMC were great and got the crowd warmed up nicely. Almost like a mini-festival type vibe. I would think this format would be ideal for the Seattle shows.......although I won't be in attendance unfortunately.

    My bet is, there will be two opening bands from the area. Be it Mudhoney, AiC, Band of Horses or whatever.

    especially....cause i only do rail now....i hope no opening band cause i don't think it's fair to make us important fans wait 3 hours in a ga pit to see a band they don't want to see.....
    saw mudhoney in a small club once, had ear plugs in, and heard them perfectly that way. i wouldn't see them again without ear plugs.

    Openers for a stadium show make sense only because it eases the crush on the gates.  Some people will go in for the opener, some won't.  But it stops everyone from showing up 15-30 mins before PJ takes the stage.  Not sure how smooth entry is at Safeco, but every time there's no opener at Fenway, it takes forever to get inside.  I think that "PJ might do an acoustic set so get in early" rumor for the first Fenway show in 2016 was directly related to the McCartney show a few weeks prior, where Sir Paul took the stage like 45 mins late because people weren't in their seats (he had no opener).

    Also, PJ can still play 3 hour sets, just have the openers come out early.  Either way, psyched for the Home Shows!

    rail or nothing. ga or nothing. i absolutely have to have the band notice me....there is no other way now....there is no going back...
    in fact i traveled from the west coast of the usa going, all over europe and south america, and only went for rail at every show and i met the greatest people ever and they all knew i was the biggest fan ever....

    Talk of a Smashing Pumpkins tour this summer that includes James Iha...does Corgan still have beef with Eddie or are they cool now?

    Billy Corgan has a beef with everyone who isn't Billy Corgan.

    Wow, the hate here for opening bands is very strange.
    Those with the hate are all basically saying, please don't introduce me to new music, thanks.

    You are getting pretty close to my lawn.  Can you just back it up a few steps?  I need to hear 3.5 hours of Pearl Jam and only Pearl Jam.  

    sincerely,

    I usually like openers as a way relax or to find new music. However their are some shows where I would just prefer the main band. Especially the ones that play 3 hour shows or more.
