    The BDO headliner always does sideshows, PJ would be no different I'd reckon.
    Come to send, not condescend...

    As much as I HATE the BDO if it brings them here to Oz, that would be awesome.. I just HATE the thought of people screaming out for the "hits" and that's it... I want to enjoy them & NOT have drunken idiots ruining my day...

    Yep, seeing PJ with a shitload of people who don't give a f*ck would be challenging (!) but if it's my only chance to see them I'll just have to battle it out with the kiddies. And will just have to get heinously drunk so I love everyone to bits and don't care about 18-year-olds screaming 'Alive! My mum used to LOVE this song!'

    rumor i heard was prince was coming to town for BDO.
    I used to LOVE the BDO back in the day, have all the posters from 1993 ...but stopped going when the venue changed..and i got older...i have lots of awesome memories though of standing in the hot hot aussie sun seeing the red hot chilli peppers, janes addiction, soundgarden, smashing pumpkins...good times.

    When Ed was in Melbourne last he said i wont be seeing you guys for a long time....so sad to say i doubt we will see them in 2012 :(

    The "normal" demographic for BDO would be 16 to 25 year olds?...... the age that would generally be only slightly familiar with PJs greatest radio hits if at all. It would be an interesting concert experience to say the least.
    Just pray for more shows than BDO
    2009 ~ Melbourne
    2011 ~ Canberra (EV)
    2011 ~ Melbourne 2 (EV)
    2014 ~ Melbourne BDO

    Didnt PJ pull out for the very first BDO 20 years ago? Might be cool to get em back 20 years later..

    The BDO will be flooded with 30+ year olds...crack up...the teens will hate us :D

    and 40+ year olds. :lol:

    Anyway I'd say most teens wouldn't be interested in PJ and would go watch the other bands.

    Oh ejh76 please don't say that!! I was on my honeymoon for EV's entire solo tour - couldn't make it to a single show. Seeing them live within the next year (or two) would so fix that . . .

    If the rumors were to be true, I think PJ playing the BDO would be a really good thing. It opens the band up to a whole new/younger audience that would have not necessarily had the opportunity to hear PJ before. I think we all know of someone who has gone to there first PJ show with no expectations whatsoever and walked a way with a completely new perspective on the band and their music that they would not have gotten had it not been for that live experience. PJ are at there best live - whatever the format.

    PJ is not something that is 'ours' it is something that should be shared with every person, every age, every background.

    And of course like, the headliners of previous years (Tool, Neil Young etc... they have included sideshows)

    Best of both worlds.
    Lets hope the rumors are true.
