U2/Pearl Jam/Kings Of Leon in Hawaii?

You really think they're going to ship their stage to Hawaii? I saw them on Pop and the stage was so large and complicated that there were two of them. One was always a day ahead on its way to another city. My guess would be no vertigo stage. Heck, they might even have another album out by December.

yes, they will ship their stage. thay have shipped it all over the world already several times, why wouldn't they do it for Hawaii? Japan? Aussie. it's the end of the Vertigo tour...and the stage set up is a big part of that

and a new album..not likely...just like PJ its always at least 3-4 years, sometimes longer in between U2 records. these are simply make up concerts, a mini tour of sorts from cancellations.

can't disclose where/who i got this info from...but they are obviously in the music business

Ok peeps...Im on the case re Pearl jam, KOL and the big Hawaii finale rumours! Of course the official news may be out before I get an answer for you but considering PJ and KOL are on my label, I'll see what I can find out!

Ok...an update.....Pearl Jam's label manager in the US didnt deny the question of supporting U2 in Hawaii....which usually means its true....so fingers crossed for you guys. They will no doubt announce this with the new dates this week.

yeah...i felt kinda weird reposting but oh well...

please please please let it come true

It IS true. It was in the freaking Rolling Stone for goodness sakes!!! It doesn't get any bigger than that. The only questions left are how many dates, who's opening for who, and when the date or dates are. And of course how the bands' respective fan clubs are doing the tickets, and how the existing tickets (of which I have 2) are going to be dealt with.

The question is: Which Island do you think they will play one? Oahu or Maui? Oahu has the shell in Waikiki, or most likely the aloha stadium in Honolulu. Not sure what Maui has to offer, but they often have big shows.

If you would read the link to the Honolulu newspaper above, you would know that they ARE playing Aloha Stadium. It's already been reserved for December 9.

december 9th

yeah...it was in print so it MUST be true....sure...

don't get me wrong, i want it to be true but i'm not exactly booking flights/hotel until it's actually announced.

and yes...the show IS at ALOHA STADIUM unless they change the venue. i have my tickets in my hand.

Wait.

You have tickets to the show, but you're not booking flights and hotel?

Or is that your advice to others? I'm confused.

i'm not booking anything until the date is confirmed by U2 (or PJ for that matter). just saying i'm not taking freakin Rolling Stone's word for it. of course i'll be making arrangments then

this show has been put off since April and there have been countless (actually a shit load) of rumors and guesses concerning it, this PJ rumor is just the latest in a long line of rumors, but by FAR the best

Well, certain pieces of confirmed information seem to make this rumor believable:


We know that PJ plans to play Hawai'i, according to the tour program being sold at the '06 shows.

We know that U2 has reserved Aloha Stadium for December 9th.

We know that Kings of Leon is opening for PJ in Australia. Their itinerary leaves open the possibility of playing together in early December.

U2 and PJ had on-stage encounters in Toronto last year. This might be a continuation of those guest appearances.

I'm with you in that I wouldn't start spending money just yet. But as soon as this gets confirmed, I'd be ringing up all the necessary charges if I had it to spend.

I am the only one here that doesnt want a u2/pj show?

I really, really hope that pj does there own show. I mean i like u2 somewhat, but i dont want to spend close to 1500$ to see another so called "co" headline show.

Actually, IMHO, fuck that. I dont want u2 to have anything to do with the show.

I totally agree...no u2 only pj!!
