criticize me all you want but this band never cancelled shows over people dying of cancer or drug overdoses which have killed more than this virus...im starting to think that some of us grew up and away from this band and started to think for ourselves
they announce 2 new festivals today but cancelled the spring tour??? Oh please tell me how that makes sense when festivals have a higher rate of virus transfers and supposedly during those festival times the rates of infection are supposed to be at a higher rate if you believe that farce???

because cancer and drug overdoses arent infectious diseases with high mortality rates.

I'm just as bummed/pissed as anyone, but it's a really weak move to blame the government for their decisions. Just man up and own the calls you made. It just adds more dissent and anger to an already crappy situation.
Two paragraphs, right next to each other.
"We’ve worked hard with all our management and business associates to find other solutions or options but the levels of risk to our audience and their communities is simply too high for our comfort level. Add to that we also have a unique group of passionate fans who travel far and wide. We’ve always been humbled by this and respect their energies and devotion. However in this case, travel is something to avoid.
It certainly hasn’t helped that there’s been no clear messages from our government regarding people’s safety and our ability to go to work. Having no examples of our national health department’s ability to get ahead of this, we have no reason to believe that it will be under control in the coming weeks ahead. "
I disagree that they're "blaming the government", and I don't see how you can disagree with that portion of the statement even. Read that paragraph and tell me where it's false.

Hi. This is Bueller. With all due respect, you’re posting like a fool.
I'm just as bummed/pissed as anyone, but it's a really weak move to blame the government for their decisions. Just man up and own the calls you made. It just adds more dissent and anger to an already crappy situation.
Agreed...and just because a dozen old sick people died from this and schools and businesses closed...the sky is falling. Well, it might be...but I don't think it is. I think this will go down as the biggest example of overblown media-induced hysteria in the history of man. I hope I'm right...as sad as that would be it is better than the alternative. Still though...way too early for anyone not 70 and sick to worry about.

I will criticize you for comparing a highly communicable disease to drug ODs and Cancer as if they’re the same thing. When was the last time you saw someone catch cancer from someone else’s sneeze? The ignorance being exposed here tonight is absolutely mind blowing.

Why don't you ask your dad the well-known doctor about the risk of catching cancer or drug overdoses at a Pearl Jam concert and see what he says?
On the topic of festivals, most likely they're contractually obligated to not say anything. Festivals typically reserve that right for their own management.
Or, you're right, it's a liberal Pearl Jam conspiracy to make Trump look bad, at the expense of a postponed tour. That's definitely the more logical conclusion.

it amazes me you can be this dense.
What is odd is that NO ONE can put 2 and 2 together and notice that the band adds two festival dates at a time that the CDC and other entities has said that the virus would be at a peak at the end of this year but the band announces festivals on two coast that would have waaaaaaaay more people that the show they cancelled??? But they are worried about the virus??? am I the only one that gets this makes ZERO sense
Santa Clara county has just banned large gatherings over 1000 people. Looks like a lot more cancellations and postponements coming.

you realize those festivals are months away, right? it makes perfect sense that they assume those will be able to go ahead as planned as long as containment is at a decent level.

I dont care about Trump...I really dont but the fact they announce festival dates then cancell a Spring tour when if you believe the virus hype would have a way more profound affecnt on people at a festival scale...oh but wait Ed runs the Ohana festival in liberal California where im sure they will give out vaccinations lol

I was expecting this. At the rate things are going probably the best call. Wish I had refundable airfare although I think Air Canada is working with passengers. A few days in San Francisco isn't the end of the world.
I’m disappointed about the announcement but this thread is SO entertaining right now!
Do you know what it's like to fall in the mud and get kicked... in the head... with an iron boot? Of course you don't, no one does. It never happens. Sorry, Ted, that's a dumb question... skip that.
It’s sad with some of the responses on here. The band made the right call. Some of you need to have your heads examined. It’s a concert, they will make it up. People’s safety should be #1. What happened to basic human compassion?
As a person with multiple health issues thanks for making that tough decision. I will miss having the energy recharge me, but glad the decision was taking out of my hands. Sorry for those who have made travel plans, but the weight of this health crisis is too heavy for the band to take on.

I get it, however, is there a refund for 10 club tickets or will the tix be good for the re scheduled shows. How about people who are traveling, and cant possibly get refunds for hotel or flights? That's money a lot of us cant afford to lose.
I’m almost positive cancellation policies went out the window. Confirm with your airline and hotel about a credit or refund due to the virus.
Agree 100% on this...I would boycott any company that tried to pull this shit.
