    I am!
    Doesn't mean I won't wanna punch out little snots


    Exactly!


    And plus I am sure they would do side shows!

    Maybe a fan club show ;)... Have to think positive!

    10 club only shows would totally suck*




    *cause I've not renewed and I ain't gonna on the slim chance of a 10c show.

    Do you think words/phrases like "who would be on your WISHLIST and "Public service announcement." are hints?

    It was a comment on the Triple J Facebook page which I've quoted here.

    "We're announcing the 2012 Big Day Out line-up real soon but tonight we wanna know - who's on your wishlist?"

    Nor do I,

    Do you think there would have been a hint from a mod on this forum already if they were coming to Australia?

    I've been thinking the same thing. If they are playing at BDO which is early next year, you would think there would be a "Tweet" on here by now. But I think the "Tweets" are only for the 10c ticketed shows ..

    I think that'll be a coincidence
    They used the same wording for soundwave
    Doesn't mean theyre playing that :)

    I was doubting pearl Jam would be there because we haven't had a tweet as well. But aren't the tweets for headlining shows to warn people who haven't updated thier 10club info? Either way, I still doubt they are there, we normally hear some rumours from this side of the camp on these things

    Yes I think the "Tweets" are only for the 10 club ticketed shows but they usually announce on here when Pearl Jam are playing at festivals too.

    But if there were side shows one would assume you could get 10c tix for those. But people seem to be forgetting we always hear about tour/releases/anything to do with pearl jam from every other source before we hear from ten club. For the bands official fan club/now record label they have their finger very far from the pulse.

    Well if the BDO brings em here then that's fine. I'll go.

    Certainly not a preferred option.
    My feelings too.

    There's no way that I wouldn't go, but I won't be thrilled about it.

    I'll just go after work and hope for a decent sideshow in Melbourne as well.

    (10C show @ Thebby? In my dreams, perhaps.)

    A full tour is obviously way better than a festival (especially something like BDO). However, PJ's set at the Reading festival in 06 was one of the best shows I've seen (and they headlined after bands like Slayer, MCR and Bullet For My Valentine)
    I'll take a PJ show any way I can get it!

    I dont think the problem is the festival entirely.... its more the fact that the sets are only going to be an 1 hr 15mins to 1 hr 30mins at the most......

    I don't have a problem with a slightly shorter set at all, that's fine. Some of the recent festival sets have been really good shows, Reading and Leeds in 2006 and Hyde Park in 2010 in particular.

    My issue is the kind of audience you'll have to deal with at a BDO. A bunch of pissed, attention-seeking dickheads who don't give a shit about the actual music but go to the BDO every year religiously for the "vibe" and to reassure themselves they're still "with it". The younger kids are the least of my worries, they're usually at least enthusiastic and there for the music. It's the guys approaching middle-age on their "big day out" from responsibility that cause trouble in my experience.

    I think for people to understand why we don't want pj on bdo you'd have to have been to bdo

    I will prefer bdo over nothing
    But I hope like hell it's not true
