    I actually prefer Ohana when it's not a PJ focused festival. One night of the band or Ed with other amazing artists is what I've enjoyed most. If Neil is Saturday, then I'm glad I can't make it this year. 3 years ago at encore with Beck is still the best festival day I've witnessed. The 2019 Saturday was pretty "stellar" too.
    I have gone to every Ohana and yes.. the post- pandemic Encore with all the PJ was great. But I also prefer it with one PJ and others

    There's bound to be plenty of Neil Jam opportunities. And maybe adds some urgency to getting the Mirrorball tour film out to the masses.

    Right, and where did all those side tickets for the Forum go? The 6 wing sections on each side were not sold in the TM sale, No premiums in those sections, and none have shown up on F2F,.. who bought those tickets... Music Industry people.. my guess.... Some have shown up in the secondary market. Probably not sold via TM and thats why none are sold on F2F.. But I bet many great sides will be available at the box office day of.... 
    I saw Gene Simmons at a PJ show in 2012 in the very good seats.

    Where else would he sit? You do know that all acts pretty much hold back seats for friends , family, VIP

    Changed the topic to 2025, rather than start a new one. Always find it fun to speculate who could be playing OHANA. 

    Maybe next year it’s Bruce’s turn!

    Its great fun, because you can keep speculating right up until the show...

    I'm not very likely to pull the trigger on Ohana (very expensive excursion) but in an alternate universe in which I could  - the Who & uncle Neil.

    It would be super duper helpful if they could announce the Ohana line-up before any of the shows in May.  If the line-up is good, it is a far better use of money than any show not near your hometown.

    My #1 wish is for Pearl Jam to do an extended set at Ohana 2025 in celebration of PJ35.
    This would be amazing.

    Also maybe an appearance by NIN?
    PJ + NIN, take my money
    I'm spinning, oh-oh-oh I'm spinning

    They need to have a couple younger bands in the 8:00 and closer slots. I had a great time but the under 40 folks need something younger than Sting and Devo.

    Exactly.  And the Breeders.  Sorry, their one song doesn't qualify them for a late day set. Crowd only reacted for that one too, and then there was the issue that they had to stop for during it!  Idles was the best thing going there for energy by far and watching all the older folks was pretty funny. Most were not having it. Standing motionless, blank stares, etc.  Maybe I'll get to that point some day too, I don't know, but damn.

    The Breeders played at 4:30 on a Sunday. Wouldn't consider that a necessarily a late day set when the sun didn't set till about 6:45 and they played before idles, alanis, and PJ. If you were to curate, who already scheduled that day would have you had them replaced with?

    I just wasn't impressed, that's all. Not trying to start an argument of where they should have been on the schedule.   I did like Kim Gordon's set earlier better.

    Could see Green Day as a potential headliner as they are touring again in 2025, although them headlining Coachella in April might rule them out of headlining another Californian festival.

    No thanks. I can’t figure out why Green Day is as popular as they are.

    Jack White.

    * and NOT as a co-headliner. A proper end of day finale.
