PEARL JAM/TENCLUB - DO NOT play Friends Arena!

"Following the performance in Stockholm, Aftonbladet reported that hundreds of fans were demanding their money back, citing poor sound quality during the concert.[20] After filing a complaint with the Swedish National Board for Consumer Complaints, Live Nation, the concert's promoter, conducted an investigation and decided not to offer a refund, arguing that "sound experience during a concert is [a] subjective judgement".[21] A local sound engineer, Linnéa Carell, commented that Friends Arena is extremely unsuitable for concerts, as the stadium's design causes the sound to echo badly"

Think of the children! Think of the fans! Think of the concert experience!

If you want to play somewhere big in Sweden/Scandinavia, consider Ullevi instead in Gothenburg!

    how about you do a proper europe tour with normal sized arenas like last time, and none of that stadium crap?
  • I´ve been to few conserts at friends arena and it depends on each consert, how the sound is. Id say the globe is NOt better. Play friends arena!

  • 4 friends I have who are not Pearl Jam fans have all said "Nice Pearl Jam is coming, too bad about the arena" too me.

    Haha.

    Fuck this.

    Change the arena Pearl Jam. Do what you have to do. People up in the seats won't be able to hear you - just like with Iron Maiden, Bruce etc.

    Could be a disaster audiowise.

    Nothing wrong with the sound at the 3 Springsteen concerts I saw there earlier this year. Standing in the front of stage section, loud and clear. Cool venue altogether.

    People I know, not being up front though - said they didn't even hear Bruce voice up in the seats.

    If i could decide PJ would play at the olympic stadium its an amazing arena for concerts and for about 30-35k that would be a nice size!

    What's up with the new arena, they built next to the Globen? Telesomething. Isn't it bigger than Globen, but smaller than Friends. Do they have any shows there already?

  • I don't think it's necessarily a problem...when PJ play they won't be using the full arena, which was the case when Iron Maiden played(that's the gig where people wanted their money back). Also, as people have said, a lot of other shows have had no issues(Kiss, Black Sabbath, Bruce shows #2&3).

    Having said that, I'd still prefer Globen!
