No UK show for 2021?

Olivavu

Is there not going to be one or will Hyde Park be announced? 

Where would it fit into the schedule?

You’d have to think it’ll be BST, otherwise they would have booked a night or two at the O2.

It would have been better to acknowledge the missing London gig.  Probably waiting on BST announcement, but that could be months away.  Hope there will be another 10club presale if thats the case.    Would prefer just a PJ gig to be honest, but hey..

And, please definitely not Glastonbury.

Agree on all counts.

Hyde Park is probably my least favourite London venue, of those which could be used. The sound may have improved, but it’s still too quiet and you hear too many people chatting. The O2 would be much better. Or just do two nights at Brixton for 10C fans only! 

Glastonbury would suit them well in some ways, less so in the modern era granted, but they could not do any sort of deal for 10C members at all. So it’s a huge thumbs down from me. Been twice before and doubt I’ll do it again. And you don’t find out who’s playing until well after tickets are sold out.

Really hoping still for a UK show. A little acknowledgement of disappointed fans here (who sold out Hyde Park) would have been nice.

I hope it’s not BST. Hard Rock Calling in 2010 is probably the lowest ranked of my PJ shows. Not their fault, just a bad venue. Soundgarden’s gig there wasn’t great. Again, not their fault. The weather was awful, the sound stank and the crowd looked at about 25% capacity.

I have to think it’s not BST.  If it was, it wouldn’t make sense why that show was cancelled whereas the others were postponed.

I’m wondering if they intend on more than one UK show in that empty week, which would have probably been contrary to an exclusivity clause if they were doing BST.  I could easily see two London shows or a London and a Manchester for example being added.

As to why wait to announce those, they probably want to sell more Prague tickets first.

The above is all speculation.  I know nothing!

BST don’t have their licence to hold 2021 event dates so it couldn’t be announced. 

I hear they have PJ on an exclusive deal meaning, if BST happens PJ play and the exclusive means no other U.K. show. 

If BST doesn’t happen PJ are free to play where they want.

Inside info from an InsideJob, very fitting fingers crossed

And for an outdoor show...

It's going to be a stint (3 nights) at the O2 Shepherd's Bush Empire with designated 10C area!

Count me in for the O2 Academy Brixton! I'd love to see them play the Isle of Wight festival again! Literally, a hovercraft's ride for me.

dollpin

Still waiting on seeing SCOTLAND on the list! Hey, it's only been 20 years! Got a ticket for Prague though so I'm already counting down the days to that!

"Fans who bought tickets to Pearl Jam’s cancelled 2020 BST show will have priority access to rebook 48 hours before general sale, from 10am on October 8."

Wow, seems legit!

Olivavu

Looks like two nights as well. 9th and 10th July.

Horrendous venue. Awful sound. Don’t think I’m going to bother with this one.

I went to see Dylan and Neil Young there last year. I was expecting the worst on the sound but it wasn’t actually as bad as I thought it would be. I’ll be going again anyway

The sound was poor for PJ in 2010. It was absolutely awful for Soundgarden after that.

I think they’ve invested in new kit since then, but I still don’t think I’ll bother with Hyde Park again. 

Olivavu

They have apparently added new kit to try and resolve the problems: https://www.fast-and-wide.com/faw-news/fast-news/7056-bst-hyde-park

That said, they’ve had problems with volume recently: https://www.standard.co.uk/go/london/music/stevie-wonder-review-british-summer-time-hyde-park-a4184551.html

Yeah sound at PJ 2010 was pretty average, but sound at the Soundgarden show was indeed totally awful, such a huge let down that day. I saw Eric Clapton there in 2018 though and the sound was really good, I have no worries about it going in to PJ next year.

Sound was fine when I was dragged kicking and screaming by my wife to see Michael Buble there 2 years ago!
