Jazz Fest consistently features non jazz acts: The Rolling Stones, Snoop Dog, RHCP, The Who, Bonnie Raitt, Buddy Guy, Sheryl Crow, Tom Petty, Gov't Mule, DMB, Neil Young, Mystikal, The Meters, Jimmy Buffett... etc. 

Jazz fans know what to expect. I doubt anyone is mocking the lineup for that reason.

all true! jazzfest people are all music lovers.

and jazzfest is an amazing experience because of all of the varieties of good music available for 1 price

i saw jesus in the gospel tent and it was fn amazing 

oh and best city in the world for music,food, drinking(lol) and street walking

love nola...and eddie still owes us a show there....if memory serves me well

Funny how many people mocked when Madonna and Missy Eliot were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame but no one complains about Pearl Jam playing Jazz Fest.

🤣

Jazz Fest has a long history of featuring non jazz bands.

So long, in fact, that it was that way from the very first one!  Never has it been only Jazz...

Thanks, I can always count on your constant shade.  You really seem to have it out for me.  Maybe redirect your energy on some purpose in your life vs living on a message board all day.

Really not sure the problem you and a few others have with Vedpunk.  He clearly does have some sources for that part of the country.  Sometimes rumored shows look good then plans change (see Canada 2025 so far, hopefully it changes for the better)  I’m all for more people with sources being vocal.  

As soon as he posts anything people go on the attack, it’s kind of weird lol.  Anyways just my two cents, I don’t want to deter someone who may know something from posting is all I’m saying.

It's because unless he's piggybacking off something posted by half a dozen others, it's always bad info. Then he gets hostile when you call it out. I honestly don't know what the deal is.

: shrug:

There was at least one guy who posted he made bookings off that "intel." Hopefully it was refundable. Unless he likes Gwen and DMB.

It's not very labor intensive. I have excellent recall and attention to detail. It's served me well professionally, but I appreciate the concern. Easily transfers to weird areas like this or remembering baseball players. Things like "the Padres have a high risk farm" and "username vedpunk posts fugazi info" just stick.

My Bet is Sphere, international destination, amazing venue... video in DM tour lines up for use of displays. Vegas is more of a destination that would bring in more people... the venue fee would be one reason not do Vegas.. follow the money..

I believe PJ44 was citing that old post by Vedpunk as an example of Vedpunk’s inconsistent track record as alleged by PJ44.

This is correct and I would also love to see them play the Sphere

Regarding Hartford on page 135:

Didn't they play the one year because Boston was unavailable? I can't blame them for wanting Boston over Hartford, especially in this here "fans come to us" era.

I still think jumping on every one of his posts is unnecessary.

I don't. He's posted plenty since the Lovin' Life post and I didn't have anything to say until it played out. We've also had friendly exchanges in other threads.

Get_Right

There are venue holds and festival negotiations. We are booking Pearl Jam. Only to have those plans fall through or change. Personally, I do not believe any of the rumors until there is an announcement. 

D-Rod

IF they do a residency I believe it would be at Climate Pledge.  Easy way to keep costs down and it was discussed during the venues renovations.

I could definitely be wrong, but you might be thinking of 2010 when instead of a 2nd show in Boston, they played Newark.

I saw them at Jazz Fest back in 2016. Met Boom on the streets the day before the show. Really fun trip. Great non-festival setlist too. Opened the show with "State of Love and Trust"!

This is usually true for me, as I've heard that it becomes far too crowded.
Though, I would be tempted to go with Pearl Jam headlining.
New Orleans is a wonderful city to visit.  Amazing food.  Cool people (mostly).

The less the better. Is an awesome venue. Weather is good. Locales are better. The most welcoming group you’ve ever met. Get to see awesome “under the radars” like Better than Ezra, Cowboy Mouth, and future stars. A lot of funds go to local charities and it is a great cash infusion to an area that needs it. Do yourself a favor.

Will certainly consider if Pearl Jam headlines.  Got some great friends in New Orleans, and we like to visit that beautiful city.
You def don't have to sell me on it.  Unless you were speaking to the one's that said it was an "easy pass".
As a music lover, Jazz Fest has always been on my radar.  But I was put off by the talks of it being too crowded.
The food and culture alone are reasons enough to visit New Orleans.  Add Pearl Jam to the mix and it's a strong temptation for sure.

Get_Right

Any festival has to be viewed as a party with Pearl Jam as the house band IMHO. I have not been to NOLA in many, many years, but I am sure I would enjoy a beer, some gumbo, and hearing live music lying on a blanket far from stage.
