    I think the foo fighters are out...
    MUSIC FEEDS UPDATE: According to AJ Maddah, the chance of seeing Foo Fighters on the Big Day Out 2014 bill are “zero.” Maddah said that organisers “wouldn’t insult them by even suggesting they play 3rd on the bill,” and it’s tough to argue with that.

    So they're not actually replacing blur with another headliner? In my mind that means there is hope for PJ to play a longer than typical festival set.

    Dear all,

    Haven't been to BDO before, am coming down under from Indonesia. Want to ask some questions:
    1. Will the itinerary/program/schedule will be announced on BDO.COM? If so, usually what time before the actual date?
    2. Are the pre-party really happening? Am attending Sydney, interested in Melbourne as well.
    3. Given the fact that this is a festival, what general tips regarding getting Pearl Jam merchandise? Or even any chance to meet Pearl Jam in person?

    Thanks.

    1. i haven't been since 2007 but i believe they release the schedule a few days before the show? i think. i know we were always able to plan ahead of time.

    2. i suspect so

    3. there'll be a bunch of merch sellers - no idea if we'll get a poster but there'll at least be shirts. likelihood of meeting pearl jam - probably slightly better than average if they're the types to wander around the festival amongst the people, as opposed to hopping from backstage area to backstage area. guess it depends on the band member.

    Someone on twitter asked AJ Maddah about a how long PJ could play, his response: "As long as they want and up to the curfew in each city." Here's hoping for a full concert set!

    Hmmm well it doesn't make me scream uncontrollably with sheer excitement but it could have been much much worse. Look forward to seeing Deftones.

    Yeah I'm not too familiar but I did like Change (in the house of flies), I believe it's called.

    that's a crap replacement list. i hate liam gallagher. and i've seen deftones and the hives at other big day outs and while they were entertaining enough (hives more so), it's nothing i'd feel any pain over missing out on.

    hopefully it just means MOAR PEARL JAM ALL THE TIME YES!
