Pearl Jam is the uncontested, unluckiest band in the world in terms of weather issues and concerts

Wrigley 2013, Bonnaroo 2016, now this... I’m sure there have been others as well.  Just seems like every time they try to play an outdoors show, weather strikes 

Denmark.
June 30, 2000.

I say no more.

I've seen them outside at:

1) Missoula '98
2) Seattle II '98
3) Gorge '05
4) Gorge '06 x 2
5) Calgary '09
6) Pemberton '16
7) Wrigley 2016 x2

The weather was perfect for all of them.   I think PJ play's outside so much it's bound to cause an issue here and there.

I saw AC/DC play through the thunderstorm once.  Those dudes are/were hard core.... One of my top shows for sure

So would you say you were Thunderstruck that night?

Bummer.
I hope PJ's gear is okay. It looks like some of those equipment cases got caught out in the storm!

My first PJ show would have been Cincinnati 2003, but Riverbend venue flooded because of constant rain that week, so it got cancelled.  Feel your pain.  Stay safe.  Peace.

I drove to New Orleans from New Jersey in 96...show was canceled.
I ended up having the best time ive ever had in my life in a city, and to this day New Orleans is my favorite city.
Try to enjoy your trip, the memories truly last a lifetime.

You cant go wrong.  When the Saints won the Superbowl and they showed news footage of Bourbon Street it looked like a regular crazy Sunday night.

Oh man that debacle!  I figured you were thinking of the Salt Lake City show that was canceled due to weather.

At least that incredible poster still got out there! That is one of my fave PJ posters of all time.

Absolutely.  What are the chances you get to see AC DC play thunderstruck during a thunder/lightning storm?  It was pretty epic.   I was actually surprised they played through it.   The lightning wasn't right over the venue, but it seemed to be in surrounding areas on all sides.  The rain was heavy during the whole show.   I've seen CFL games postpone for less, but everyone persevered.

I´m not postting a lot in here, but I use to get a lot of info so Im allways read the forum.
I´m only want to say about that night its that I think that PJ can´t come to Argentina an play in a Festival, less if its a shitty festival like Lollapalooza. They have to come all by themselves!!
I´ve see them several times and the best shows are when they play themselves. This happen before when they came to another shitty festival back in the 2013, and its really suck.
I'm angry because I spent the last money on the trip and I'm unemployed, I could not even see them play. In the trip of 700 km I broke the car, I had to arrive by bus, I had to pay for lodging, the entrance to the lollapalooza came out very expensive. I think it's not fair, because that festival is only to earn money, it's not about the music or the art or the bunch of lies they say, I sincerely expected more from a band like pearl jam, where we all know that they take decisions for those of us who are true fans of the band are happy with the deal.
I apologize if I offended someone with my way of thinking or with my bad English, but I think I had to say it!
I DO NOT WANT TO SEE MORE PJ IN A FESTIVAL !! PLEASE!!

PJ wouldn't play festivals JUST for the money. I get the impression that 1) they like that it's a way to reach music fans who aren't familiar with them already, 2) they like to meet all the other artists there, hang with them, maybe get ideas off of them, etc, and 3) it sometimes even allows them to play places that they would not otherwise play because they don't feel like the market justifies their own show - they don't feel confident about ticket sales there, and/or 4) It is a cheaper and easier way to play a big, hyped up show for their fans.
So I'm going to have to disagree with your overall assessment of festivals. I personally can't stand festivals and will likely never attend another one, but I still think it's good for the band to play one every once in a while for the reasons above.

Lollapalooza.com.ar has just announced how they are going to reimburse the tickets for the third day of the fest.

As of March 28th, reimbursement will be automatically granted to the credit or debit card you made the purchase for the tickets. AllAccess.com.ar will handle the reimbursments since it was the ticketing system.

The refunds will be for the full price of the ticket and also for the service charge. Those who paid for the 3-day pass will get 1/3 of the price of the ticket and 1/3 of the service charge.

Those who purchase the tickets in person will have to show up at the box office at La Rural, Av. Sarmiento 2704, C1425FGP, as of March 28th, from Monday to Friday, from 10 am to 7 pm, with the credit or debit card you made the purchase with, the wristband for the 3-day pass or 1-day pass, and the proof of purchase.

OK, im not saying Festivals around the world, im only saying festivals in Argentina. They can put 30k, 35k easily every night they play in here (the last solo night 07/11/15, they put 45k at least). I don´t  see the need to play in a festival with that kind of audience. Maybe it's not clear that i meant only in Argentina. I been in chile and brazil and feel the same, but I don´t know how chileans or brazilians felt about this.
And I don´t saying that PJ its playing for money (of course they have earnings), I´m talking about what´s lolla became. A Festival for earn tons of money without care about the art nor the music. And I´m talking about the people behind the brand of "Lollapalooza".
But again, I´ts just my opinion.
