The Global Citizen Festival 2015

Beyoncé, Ed Sheeran and Coldplay?

Ouch.

Flamery · July 2015

Still looking forward to a pj show in Central Park even if the lineup is a little weak.

Weston1283 · July 2015

Also, this means Pearl Jam won't even be the headliner. No way they get a longer set time than Beyoncé, just the way it is. Looking like an hour set time max...

Yeah, there is no way Beyonce isn't headlining this.

Well I think in theory they could be the headliner but Global Citizen knows better because the backlash from Kanye would be unbearable.

Festivals are great. Music Midtown was a blast and the lineup at MIA before that was really nice. But this won't even be a normal PJ festival appearance. If Beyoncé is really playing, it'll be Pearl Jam from about 8-9pm, probably about a 10 song setlist. Nothing like the 24-28 you see at other festivals.

Nah not for me this time around ....

I was prepared to be disappointed but I'm still beyond disappointed. I mean not even headlining a free festival is a "special" announcement? If thats the only news then it should of just come out in a press release for Global Fest with no built up hype. Hope there's more but without any solid rumors it doesn't look good.

^ it will be very disappointing if they released that picture/tweet for a festival theyre not even headlining

YLed2 · July 2015

Warm up for MSG the following two nights on Sunday & Monday night.

No reason (at least in my mind) they would have a "special announcement" for a festival they won't even headline and play a total of 10 songs tops. IF they were to play a couple shows at MSG without any kind of tour to support it - wouldn't you think they would want at least a warmup show before blowing the roof off the place? Global Citizen sounds like it would be just that, and not too taxing on the band only playing a max of 10 songs.

MSG is completely open until October 1st after after Global Citizen.

Just saying.

I remember being surprised at the Sandy relief 121212 show when Chris Martin got to play three songs on his own while Eddie and Dave Grohl were only backup for Roger Waters and Paul McCartney. So if Beyonce is headlining and Coldplay is also playing...Pearl Jam might be third from the top.

derbydave · July 2015

Do you think they will announce the order the acts will play when they release the "official"
line-up??

SVRDhand13 · July 2015

Pearl jam (and not jay z) headlined made in America so maybe they will headline this.

It honestly wouldn't shock me to even see Ed Sheeran play ahead of PJ at this considering his popularity lately. Although I don't know how big he is in the states, he's the hot ticket over here, selling out two shows in Croke Park which is an 80+ thousand capacity venue, as well as selling out three Wembley shows.

Ed who? No idea who this Sheeran guy is

The Rangers have preseason games on 9/28 and 9/30. The weekend schedule was cleared though as Billy Joel's 9/26 show was rescheduled.

This is on the website , not sure if that was there before

No way. JayZ isn't nearly as popular as Beyoncé. If she's involved, she's 110% the headliner. Today, the only person who can really compare to her in terms of popularity would probably be Taylor Swift.

That page has been up since the start of Pearl Jam's 2013 tour.

I'm not sure when this page was created though .. https://www.globalcitizen.org/en/artists/eddie-vedder/
