    Yeah, I'm not sure what they have cooked up for the visuals, but the current stuff on YouTube won't cut it. And they've already played the DTE card, so I'm hoping it would be something on par to what Dead & Co. did.
    Hardcore fans would riot (as they are now, lol) if it was a static setlist, but I think a few album shows mixed with hits & rarities would suffice. Put me down for Vs., Vitalogy, Yield & Gigaton :D (and sure, Ten, why not) ;)
    Hopefully they can serve two masters and come up with the right formula to make it work.   Fantastic visuals and a varied setlist would make a for a great show.  😄

    Exactly. I want to see the band. Not an Imax movie where Pearl Jam plays the soundtrack.
    IMAX movie might be a little too over the top a description.  If they could find a way to be spontaneous and vary the set lists it would be a fun run of shows.

    Have you seen any of the footage from the Sphere?  The band is a spec amongst a massive screen. It is bigger than Imax. I thought that was underselling it. Think planetarium on steroids all around you of you instead of above you. I get why it worked for Dead & Co. but not sure it translates for Pearl Jam. I have always appreciated Pearl Jam's minimalist approach to their shows when it comes to bells and whistles.

    There’s very few one size fits all in life.  It may not be your bag.  And probably not mine.  But I know a lot of people are looking forward to it and those who don’t dig it have the option to skip it.

    I really want to get to Sphere and really do not want to see the Dead, Eagles, et al so that would be my motivation

    I would not be going in expecting The Ultimate Pearl Jam Experience but seeing a wonder of a venue with music I like. Basically a Red Rocks pilgrimage on HGH.

    When do they ever play festivals in the uk or Germany?

    Hey everyone let's just close this thread.
    We're obviously wasting our time here.

    Taking the question at face value, festivals in the UK I know they have played because I went to them -

    Finsbury Park - 1993
    Reading and Leeds - 2006
    Hard Rock Calling - Hyde Park - 2010
    Isle of Wight Festival - 2012
    British Summer Time - Hyde Park - 2022

    Hyde park was more of a headline show. None of the big festivals are hiring pearl jam

    For better or worse, I have been following this band for a long time (yes, I am old). They have mentioned make-up gigs in the past to no avail. I do not pretend to know the UK or German festival market. Just saying, nothing is real with this band until it is. But by all means, if you have any real information, please share. It is fun to conjecture and try to guess. Have at it. 

    I have no information that it's happening just like you have no information that it is happening but this is a tour rumours thread so let people have hope.

    And we've all been following the band for a long time 🤷

    That's exactly how you should let people have their doubts.

    Sorry to be a voice of reason. Please carry on hoping they play near you in 2025.

    It’s a rumor thread so people want to discuss possible scenarios for shows next year.  It doesn’t really need a voice of reason that just throws cold water on the discussion.

    Bruce is playing Wembley Stadium this year so I reckon he could be back at Hyde Park next year (as he’s definitely back in Europe for the make up dates), so it would be great if PJ played Hyde Park the same weekend.

    What are the opportunities for PJ to do something really iconic / be a major career milestone next year? Over the past 10-12 years we've had PJ20, the first Wrigley show and the Home Shows that I would put into this category (not talking about the quality of shows, this would be a different list). 

    Would the Sphere be this? The Gorge? PJ34? (just kidding!)

    You read that whole conversation and deducted that I was the cynical one?

    Not looking to argue here but BST absolutely IS a big festival and they played it only 2 years ago...  OK it does feel like a PJ show similar to the show at MK Bowl, but thats just the format of the festival.  Its a series of one-day mini-festivals (or two-days in some cases like PJ or Bruce) but its still a festival where the headliners are paid to perform same as any other.

    Also FWIW it's the only way they get to play in Hyde Park (as others seem to want) and due to it's eclectic lineup it's less likely that PJ will be booked to headline again next year.  Too soon...

    Could happen if Bruce plays aswell.
    I would think it'll be the o2 next year though
