    I wouldn't mind 3 years in a row, or 4..
    6 years was long to see them again.

    I read about Rage and Foo Fighters too, but not that PJ was in the picture too, would be an even better line-up and a reason return to Landgraaf.
    your light's reflected now

    doing a festival tour would probably work out cheaper alright. In Europe, PJ would have the potential to play: Electric Picnic, Oxegen, Leeds/ Reading, V Festival, T in the Park, Glasto, Pinkpop, Novarock, Rock am Ring, Rock im Ring, Frequency, Graspop, Hurricane, Southside, Rock Werchter... and these are just the major ones I can think of at the mo!

    Are there no festivals in the states??
    those they played this year (or last), so no chance.
    I would hate them for playing Glasto (though I want to go next year..unless I got to Bonarroo :p), because even if I got ticket, many people wouldn't..as a community, we'd be srcewed!

    and I sure hope they don't play the shit that is the V festival!
    T in the Park would fit though (want to do that one too anyway ;))
    there's other festivals..Benicassim, several ones in Scandinavia (that they painfully ignored the last 2 years!!), pukklepop...

    US has festivals, but asside from Lolla, Bonaroo, Coachella, and South by Southwest and the new one in Jersey I think.. for the size of the country.. I mean we have more famous ones in the UK alone!

    I hope they come back (and festivals being at weekends, they'd fit some solo dates like this year ;))..but my wallet probably won't be able to make another festival tour so soon!

    the pukkelpop line-up the last two years was brilliant, was gutted i couldnt go this year. Apart from Hovefestival (Which looks like amazing craic), Roskilde and Hulstfred are there any other scandanavian festivals?

    tell me about it. FUCK! I guess the south just probally got the shaft from pj yet again (hopefully not ;) and does this mean we won't be seeing Radiohead?? :(


    Heard a little rumor about Radiohead, WPB and a Saturday in early May.

    Hove Festival (Tromøy, Norway)
    Quart Festival (Kristiansand, Norway)

    I thought they'd do one last year..seeing as they had ignored scandinavia in 2006 and lots of Swedes followed the tour.

    I'm considering going to pinkpop though I've already got a ticket for Rock AM Ring. It was the first euro date RATM announced so I bought it as soon as I heard. For all I know it may have been the only date they would announce and if I held out for another festival and they didn't play it? Well, put it this way, remember that scene in Total Recall when arnie got outside and his face exploded? My reaction would have been similar :)
    I'm hoping the foo's play Rock AM Ring, the new material is fantastic.

    Its wierd every time I hear american artists or concert goers talk about the difference in euro and american festivals they almost all say the euro festivals are much better in terms of atmosphere etc. I'd love to know what it is about us festivals that makes so many people hold that opinion :confused:

    ain't just the festivals buddy.

    frankly I was shocked how tame people were at Lolla!
    I had more room around me (front barrier) than at virtually any regular show I've ever attended.
    you act at GA shows like if you still were having your own little reserved seat space (even the Vic compared to the Astoria...whole different world)

    plus we treat festivals as a huge party (well, they ARE a huge party..esp as camping ones are the rule, not the exception), the music is only part of it.

    RATM aside thats the thing I'm looking foward to the most about Rock AM Ring, hanging out and having a laugh with different people, hell its what made this summers pj tour so much damn fun. Hope its nice sunny weather, the idea of hanging out on the grass in the morning in th campsite is something I'm looking foward to.
    What about you, ever been to Rock AM? I'm curious about the atmosphere and the organisation compared to some of the other euro festivals.

    only festivals I've done in full are Glastonbury (94 & 95), Eurockéenes de Belfort (94) and Lollapalooza (07)...saw RATM at both the 94 btw.
    then day outings to the PJ ones (Reading 06 and all this year:
    Hurricane was the best one I attended by quite a margin).

    but I will be looking at Glasto, T in the Park and Lowland this year...maybe pukkelpop...depends on the acts..and alll depending if PJ confirms Bonaroo as it rules out Glasto completely both time and moneywise, and moneywise maybe everything else.

    dont forget that europeans are still buying the records. not so much in the states. if there's demand from promoters AND fans, then they should head out there.
