Will Pearl Jam appear in the Fuji Rock Festival in Japan?
A friend sent me the flyer announcing that Pear Jam would appear in the Fuji Rock Festival in Japan in the summer along with Beck and Arcade Fire. If it is true, Japanese fans can finally see them after so many many years.

People gave Grimes shit for playing in Russia because of the strict anti-gay laws there. Her response was why should she neglect her Russian fans, both gay and straight, for the faults of their government.
I think this is similar enough and it wouldn't be fair to the Japanese fans. By playing there and speaking out against the fucked up shit that goes down, there's a greater chance of reaching people on the issue, as opposed to boycotting playing the country for it.
Arcade Fire on the other hand?
My 30th birthday is on the 24th of July.
If they play some concerts (not festivals) in Japan around that time, I'll be there.

Thus the flyer seems to be not correct - and the Fuji Rock Homepage says that bands won't be announced before March
The Waterboys, Preservation Hall Jazz Band,Phil Lesh, Phoenix, Pixies, Pearl Jam,Megadeth, Manic Street Preachers, Kraftwerk,Kanye West, Jack Johnson, Garland Jeffreys,Franz Ferdinand, Fanfare Ciocarlia, Beck,Basement Jaxx, Arcade Fire, Metronomy,Bombay Bicycle Club, Jonathan Wilson,Azealia Banks, Parquet Courts, Darkside (US)
Visited New York this fall (and watched Pearl Jam in Philadelphia)
And want to catch them in Tokyo (or Japan).
Indonesia seems cool, been to Vietnam once, but it's not a dream place and not "worth" the cost from Sweden (maybe if I'm rich someday )
So hopefully 2-3 dates in Japan! And for all Asian fans dates in other Asian countries!
But is this really official??
Planetickets cancelled!
VERY fucking interesting
