i think PJ will be in Europe again next year.
reasons:
1. The festivals are big money spinners and attract new audiences as well as bumping up cd sales.
2. as above with the added flavour of webcasts and TV channels showing highlights to further expand their audience.
3. they like it over here as by and large its a liberal sorta part of the world with no North v's South moaning and all that accompanying political shit
4. We have GA which i think excites the band more rather than watching the low numbered 10c members rock out in their seating area. GA is a bit more, ehhh, exciting to watch.
5. The threads on here lately about the general poor drunken frat behaviour, albeit a small minority, of the US crowds wont have gone unnoticed by the band or certainly by Ed in his solo tour.
i'm normally 93.6% right about this stuff.... the other 9.3% is just me wildly guessing.

oh scary... 40000 morbidly obese christians wearing fanny packs invading europe is probably the least scariest thing since I watched an edited version of The Care Bears movie in an extremely brightly lit cinema.

Won't let the darkness swallow me.
There's a constant ringing in my ears
Sense of humor's void and numb
And I'm bored to tears.......
Have only seem them once, dying to relive the pure magic of a PJ show.
However, I would really like to see them in an indoor arena next time...
Let's keep the faith fellow Europeans
Peace
Except Sundays, that's Ed day.

Please play the SOUTH..... east..... east anglia.... please.

Damnit ... those 9.3% guessing are way too much

it is a foreign land alright, best viewed at twilight!
a few people have heard the same... i guess there could be an element of fact and now that dunkman has made his prediction it is a homer if ever there was one!
Please guys, skip the UK festivals and just do a few headliners!!
Newcastle or north east or Scotland, pleeeeeeaaaasssseeee!!!!!

Wherever they play I'm not going to miss it (other than possibly missing the festivals)!! We promised ourselves we'd be at every Euro gig next time around!!!

every euro gig? mama mia!! if i can take a full month off (with pay) and tour all of europe (w/pj & friends) that would be a dream come true.
ooooohhh check out the ABBA fan
Most bands are touring in Europe these days for that reason. Festivals pay a lot, but it means a lot more if they get their money in Euros and can change it later to dollars.
I'm sure they will go to some euro festivals in 2009, it's ok to me if they still do some non-festival shows like last year (Wembley, Dusseldorf,.... were SICK).
Also I would love an EV solo tour in Europe. I read that the crowds in US are ruining the shows talking during the songs and with silly screams all the time.
This would never never happen in Europe. I have seen some theater shows recently (NYoung, Tom Waits,..) and the crowds are always respectful.

But as you say, it's the main reason. As the big euro festivals fight for the artist ofering more and more money they will come back for sure.
Maybe Glastonbury, maybe back to leeds/reading, a spanish festival for sure (big fight between them so they pay a lot), but the most important thing is to book some shows in between for us.
And they should go back to the Heineken thing in Italy. And go back to Verona too.

Butt-head: This guy makes faces like Eddie Vedder.
Beavis: No, Eddie Vedder makes faces like this guy.
Butt-head: I heard these guys, like, came first and Pearl Jam ripped them off.
Beavis: No, Pearl Jam came first.
Butt-head: Well, they both suck.
