    Croatia is not central Europe - its southern europe - so that would not make your Polish friend a liar... at a stretch you could say Hungary is south east europe...
    Also, Zagreb and Budapest are not far from each other and have an excellent and extremely cheap train connection so it would make it easy for all of us to travel from one show to another!
    And Ed did say 'CU next year' in Zagreb and although we all took it as one of his usual the-rest-of-the-band-nods-in-slight-disbelief kind of sentences, it would be so sweet if it turned out to be true!

    Spoke to my man again today... yes its a double deal they are in talks about T in the Park and Oxegen... I think playing two huge shows in a week would make it worthwhile staying in europe for an extra week plus if Oxegen is good enough for the Who - its good enough for Pearl Jam.
    My source tells me the sticking point is that they want to know the rest of the line up. They also expressed a desire to play in Kilkenny the day after Wembley at the Source but this is not possible because Aitken and not MCD promote that festival and Pearl Jam are tied to MCD. They also refused to play the Point because of the early curfew and some problems with accoustics that they apparently had last year (which I must say I did not notice)....


    You seem to talk in too much detail for this to be bs. I believe you but is it not true that oxegen is notorious for bad sound and an early curfew?

    However most definitely last year in the point Pearl jams set was cut by three or four songs. Someone i know got the set and they said comotose, porch and ledbetter were on that list and maybe there was more.

    I was at Oxegen last year .. and didnt think the sound on the main stage was that great to be honest ..Readings sound kicked Oxegens ass...although possibly that could have been due to being right up the front and not half way back like at oxegen ... though Ben Harpers set in one of the tents at oxegen was feckin excellent :D

    Oxegen is a big pile of poo.

    The shows don't go on a while lot later than in the Point... the organization is atroctious... I'd love to see them back in Ireland... but I can just imagine 80,000 people singing Black, looking behind me to see everyone up the hill with lighters in the air... SLAAAAAAAAANE!!

    In saying that... I did have great craic at Oxegen when I went!!

    Agreed... I swore I'd never go again after last year... but a day ticket would be an option I'd have to take if this does turn out to be true.

    Thats what we had- a day ticket. Jesus I dont think I could have dealt with a whole weekend of Oxegen .. it is indeed BRUTALLY organised compared to what i saw of Reading for example.
    Better stop now before MCD come and sue my ass for negative remarks :D

    ... I'll continue then!! Went on the day ticket to Leeds and was at Nova Rock last year... they really put Oxegen to shame. Even little obvious things like more loo's and bars... the Irish stick a fuckin' theme park between the two stages just to make it extra fuckin difficult to get from one place to another... the others had a closed road dedicated only to shuttle busses from the nearest cities and only took a few minutes - no traffic at all! Sound wise... Nova Rock was fuckin louuuuuuuud... well impressed at how great it was and definitely plan to go again this year! Ack.. but yey... PEARL JAM BACK IN IRELAND!! :D:D

    We took ages on the bus to get into oxegen because it was one lane and clogged with private busses...We saw some guys in the bus on front of us got off to take a piss.... seconds later the gards opened the road to two lanes and their bus speeds off leading these guys frantically shoving their members inside their pants and running after the bus... They had to walk the rest of the way hahahaha!

    Oxegen is alright. Not as good as Reading, but better than V.
    There was apparently a lot of trouble Sunday night last year, but I must have slept through the whole thing cos I didn't see anything. The guards were waking everyone up at 7am Monday morning and telling us all to pack. Felt sorry for anyone who stayed up drinking that night.

    Oh they didn't wake us up last year! We left at our leisure.. about 11, I think. There WAS trouble. tents being set on fire all over the place. We, 4 of us, woke up in our tent the Monday morning feeling HOT, only to realise the tent right beside ours, which the day before had been sitting over some of ours, was burnt to a crisp :eek: we could have been fucking burned alive in our sleep. I lost two cousins in a fire and it's one thing you don't fucking mess around with. Fucking immature pricks :mad:

    I'm sorry but why the fuck is this information coming out after wembley is sold out. As much as I'm looking forward to London (BABY!!!) I wouldn't be going if I had known they were playing Ireland. The same thing happened last year with Leeds being announced before Dublin and I ended up going to both!

    Fuck it.....just frustrates me :(
    I need a coffee!
