Anyone have any news on other bands playing this festival besides PJ? The festimad website only lists PJ and that others are to confirm. Anyone?

    yeah..it's starting to worry me.. wouldn't want it cancelled :(
    ok, not caring in itself but I have my flights booked.. and no other reason to go to Madrid..would rather have stayed couple more days in Lisbon if it were not for that gig.

    nothing else has been advertised because one of the companies who you could buy ur tickets off has declared itself bankrupt and basically kept everyones cash! :P

    very very weird that no more bands have been advertised.. eventho pearl jam alone is awesome :)

    actually checked and the one I bought mine from is a Ticketmaster subsidiary..so not likely to be that one :rolleyes:
    still worried about the concert itself though...more money to lose than the ticket, can't get my Lisbon-Madrid flight back (I already tried when the Vueling appeared)

    Don't panic guys!
    Pearl Jam confirmed the show in January, right? It's a festival, they won't cancel it for some stupid reasons...I guess there will be other less known acts (especially local hispanian bands) because on the other days the prices were much more cheaper...so let's keep hoping we are gonna have a fuckin great 140 minutes there!

    And by the way: I understand Pegasus would like to stay in beautiful Lisbon for one more day but c'mon, Madrid is still one of the coolest and most beautiful cities in Europe!!! You won't get disappointed I am sure!

    yes I would..that's why I'm flying there 2 days before this time ;)
    never been to Madrid (well, I drove through once..not seen anything though)..but not that interested.. I like Barcelona, somehow i can't get excited by Madrid..
    But I hope you're right and it goes ahead..just strange that there's no other act announced..all the other festivals have a complete or nearly complete line-up by now..even much later ones in August!

    I read somewhere on the web that it's not that unusual for a Spanish festival to confirm the line up late on, they said it should be sorted in the two weeks. I pray there's no problems, I'm well looking forward to it. The capacity of the show is 20,000, the stadium has a capacity of only 8,000 for football matches-that's where someone got a bit confused. I got a 2 day ticket from ticktackticket does anyone know if that's ok?Also, does anyone know what happens when you get to the gig in relation to the 2nd day-do you get a new ticket or wristband or something? I understand it's the first time the festival has been at this venue, up to last year it was in a park in the city. Let's keep this thread going, there hasn't been a lot on here about Madrid. Love to all, JUK.
    I came, I saw, I concurred.....

    Indeed, up until two years ago it was in a big park. Last year it was in a bullring in the outskirts of the city (which sucked, as it was half covered, very hot and crap acoustics). Last year the tickets were free and they had a lottery for them: Tool headlining night 1, Alice in Chains the next. The place was barely 50% full on AIC night. I think it´s strange nothing has been announced yet: Spanish festivals don´t announce acts THAT late. I think the most likely thing is that there will be lots of local/unknown bands playing (they had this last year too) although to be honest I think I saw doors open at 2 which only leaves time for 2 or 3 bands before PJ. As for the ticket system, I already have my one day PJ ticket, and it´s a normal ticket. I reckon you will just get two tickets separately...

    Forgot to say, as for Ticktackticket, they are indeed reputable and sell ticket for about half the gigs in Spain (gamerco sell the other half)...

    Hi, I'm going to Madrid too, make it a long weekend over there.
    I believe we will enjoy Pearl Jam at Festimad, at least I hope so, because in the first place I planned this trip for them..

    Last rumour ..

    No other bands will play that day. I mean international bands.

    There is a contest for local bands and two of them will open, that's it. So we might get a full Pearl Jam set :)

    The venue capacity is 20000, one of the smallest of the tour and the tickets were the cheapest by far.
    1996: San Sebastian
    2000: San Sebastian
    2006: Barcelona, Vitoria, Lisbon I & II, Madrid, Verona, Milan
    2007: Lisbon, Madrid, London, Dusseldorf
    2009: Rotterdam, Manchester, London
    2010: Berlin, Lisbon
    2014: Amsterdam I & II, Milan, Leeds, Milton Keynes.
    2018: Amsterdam I & II, Barcelona, Madrid
    2022: Frankfurt, London I & II, Amsterdam II

    a Proper show! wohoo!
    20.000..well, London, Copenhagen, Munich and now Düsseldorf are smaller..
    but as long as it happens, it's all good... except there's no 10c tickets and I'm not getting there before the afternoon..mmm... got to think that one through..

    This sounds GREAT!! It will be fun. The longer Pearl Jam plays, the better.
    Btw the Duesseldorf venue has become much smaller now!

    Hopefully Festimad won't be fucked up 'cos I had prepared for every possible needs for a long weekend and PJ show in the Spanish royal capital (Madrid = a dream will come true)...and I have 4 different low cost flight tickets to Madrid and back to Budapest:) so if anything wrong happens in those airports (delays, cancellation, strike etc) I am gonna weep and cry VERY LOUD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:( and be stuck in a fuckin' faraway airport by the way :o
