Just announced the Rolling Stones to play at the indianapolis motor speedway in the infield on July 4th 2015. Sounds like they are looking for an opening act. I wonder if pearl jam would ever consider such a thing. Those two paired together could bring more than 100k!

    They changed the law. No need to punish the people of Indiana. There are bigots in every state.

    It would unbelievable to see PJ open for the Stones. The venue would suck but would be a great time.

    Pearl Jam should just open for every band that's touring this summer.

    Boycott idiots. The law has been changed. Don't blame people of the state blame the ignorant governor

    Changed the law, which means the law is pointless. Maybe they should stop letting bigots write laws. Btw, There are still no legal protections for lgbt.

    As a LONG time Indy 500 fan,
    I've been going to THE RACE at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway since the late 70's.
    I'm kind of up in the air about seeing a Stones show there,
    Especially with the layout of the stage,
    and how they are only using parking lots behind Tower Terrace for the concert!!
    image
    Looking at the stage layout...
    the fans that buy the Bronze tickets are going to be pretty far from the stage...
    and even most of the silver tickets won't have a very good view!!
    You can check out more info on the show at IMS here if you're interested:
    http://www.indianapolismotorspeedway.com/at-the-track/rolling-stones-at-ims
    I'm surprised they aren't using any of the Grandstands for this show AT ALL,
    the frontstretch of IMS seems like a perfect place to do an "In The Round" show!!
    EDIT: Just a little parking tip for those thinking about doing the show at the Speedway...
    I would pass on buying the PREMIER parking!!
    It may get you closer, but if it's anything like raceday at IMS,
    the folks parking in the infield will be waiting a LONG time to get out of the racetrack!!

    I'd prefer if the Rolling Stones opened for PJ.
    I don't like the Rolling Stones at all, but I would at least probably not skip that opener. =)

    I just don't understand why anyone would want to see a show in a parking lot at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway...
    I'd much rather see PJ out at Deer Creek or whatever they are calling now!!

    They opened for the Stones in Pittsburgh back in 05. Ed sang "Wild Horses" with them during their set.

    Et tu, you two?! ;)

    Agree with the comments about shunning the state ultimately fucking with the good open-hearted people of Indiana.

    (also, could see Richards and McCready having a blast jamming together)

    July 4th Wrigley open for "The Dead" even tho I don't think P J should open for anybody,they're the best live band I've ever seen,that being said that would be one show I wouldn't miss.
