    Blur out.

    Disaster. The whole thing is an embarrassment now.

    Possible it may not even go ahead now.

    Itll be interesting to see how bdo organisers respond to this. I think its unlikely itll get cancelled but If it does we may get our Pearl Jam (non bdo) tour after all,

    Blur cancelling is certainly going to annoy a lot of their fans!

    Sorry to fans of Blur, but I hope that PJ end up playing a longer set because of this!

    all we can hope for is a longer PJ set as some sort of silver lining in what is a total embarrassment for BDO management.

    (we told you, pearl jam. BDO is a shit festival).
    Yeh I've seen Pearl Jam, too. But I can't remember the dates.

    I hope they can the whole thing and PJ do their own tour with Mudhoney.

    To be honest I'm kind of hoping that the whole festival is cancelled and that Pearl Jam come here for a proper tour at a later date next year. Of course that wouldn't be fair for all the people who have booked and paid for airfares etc. but I''m still half sick at the thought of having to go to BDO just to see PJ.

    The CEO of the BDO, Adam Zammit retweeted this comment from another twitter user:

    "@AdamZammit No need to replace Blur. @Pearljam are pulling out 3+ hour sets in USA - I was at Brooklyn. Get them to do their real full set".

    It would be awesome if Zammit could arrange for PJ to have a full set :).
