Soundgarden To Rock Oz in 2011
Dave-O 10 August, 2010 - 9:28 AM
It's time to get your flannelette shirts out because Seattle grunge legends Soundgarden are coming down under!
Yes, the band responsible for hits like "Black Hole Sun" and "Spoonman" and who with Nirvana pretty much defined the grunge sound back in the nineties will be doing shows in Australia in 2011.
Our music reporter Nui Te Koha revealed all this morning. "Soundgarden will be here in 2011. Australian promoters are up at Lollapalooza in Chicago trying to lock down these dates but it will happen early this year."
When pressed for exact timings Nui said it will be, "January, February, March next year."
The grunge legends reunited recently at the Lollapalooza festival and they have a new compilation album coming out in September called Telephantasm, which contains one new song called "Black Rain".
Following the band's split in 1997 Chris Cornell, Kim Thayil, Matt Cameron and Ben Shepherd have kept themselves busy with various projects.
Chris Cornell teamed up with members of Rage Against The Machine to front Audioslave and pursue a solo career that included some highs and lows (he did an album in French which was a shocker).
The band just played the massive Lollapalooza festival in Chicago on the weekend with Green Day and Lady Gaga.
-So Pearl Jam wil be taking quite a long break if Soundgarden is touring throughout 2011. Or maybe Pearl Jam will continue in the second half of next year and Soundgarden will tour the first half??

I guess we'll have to wait and see when Soundgarden announces it's tour dates. I really want to see Soundgarden but I hope they don't tour the entire 2011. I need me some Pearl Jam too!
It would be kind of odd if Pearl Jam did not play any shows next year. Haven't they played at least a few shows every year since 1990? No way they take an entire year off especially since it is the 20th anniversary of Ten and that Cameron Crowe documentary is scheduled to be released next year.8/29/00, 7/3/03, 5/24/06,6/28/08 & 6/30/08, 10/9/09,10/28/09, 10/30/09 & 10/31/09, 5/15/10, 5/17/10, 5/18/10, 5/20/10 & 5/21/10, 10/23/10 & 10/24/10, 9/3/11, 9/4/11, 9/11/11, 9/12/11, 9/23/11, 9/22/12, 9/30/12, 7/16/13, 7/19/130 -
Perth Thanks!!!...0

The time frame looks to be their summer and our winter. I still think PJ tours North America next Summer/Fall....got a mind full of questions and a teacher in my soul...0

I wouldnt really consider 2 years a "long hiatus"... they're entitled to atleast that... and I think a break would be good for the songwriting process (I only do the chicago shows though so I'm used to the wait)
the only wrench in the gears is the whole 20th anniversary thing they made a big deal about... if they don't do something aug 27 of next year I'd be surprised
that leaves a year for SG to tour tho if they decide to do that... fine by me0 -

Keeping busy? Kim was given 1 job to do and in over ten years we still haven't had the B side box set :roll:ForceofNature101 wrote:Chris Cornell teamed up with members of Rage Against The Machine to front Audioslave and pursue a solo career that included some highs and lows (he did an album in French which was a shocker).
I thought it was just one song in French?0 -
They need to go to Wellington in New Zealand for my mates and come to London so I can see them.
Have heard though that Cornell has lost his voice unlike Vedder, apparently not so good on the high notes anymore, but I'd still go see them.0 -
I tried to listen to Soundgarden the other day and realized I've totally grown out of them.
This better not effect any plans Pearl Jam have made.0 -
I am totally with you likeanocean-PJ are top priority!0

In regards to the long break.... Noooooooooooooooooo!
Maybe SG and PJ can tour together next year each doing hour and a half long sets with Alice in Chains opening for them. That would be a grunge dream come true.I am the artist formally known as "Cameron4President"....

PJ may not TOUR for a while, but I doubt we'll hear nothing from the PJ camp over a long period. We'll have an EP or something released. What's everyone freaking out about? Most bands go dark for years at a time, why does everyone expect PJ to be any different?
And plus, silver lining! we may just get an Ed solo tour or some other special gem in the meantime.Gimli 1993

I don't think that people expect them to be different, it's just that they hope that they will be different. The band plays such great shows that it leaves all of us fans wanting more.
As for the Ed solo tour, I really hope that that happens. I missed him in '08. I hope that I get to see him in 2011.I am the artist formally known as "Cameron4President"....

I'm kind of glad PJ dont tour every year. It's very hard on the wallet. Plus, they would have burnt themselves out by now if they did. That being said, they'll probably do a few shows next year. They always seem to, without doing great big tours. In the meantime, it's great that bands like Soundgarden can get together for reunions, I'm glad they're counting Australia in, I will be in that for sure!0
