I hadn't really considered this at all. Funny to think that after taking a pass on Europe for six years Pearl Jam has been here the past two summers now. While we may not get them this summer as well, it may not be as far off as we might otherwise believe.

    good point!

    add to that festivals that pays them good money for minimal organisational husstles and less overhead (no need to get your stage around, so less crew, less trucks).

    and of course there's the athmosphere ;)


    now we all have a reason to want the dollar to stay weak :D

    lets just call it as it is, theyre never ever ever going to play the south again.
    Whereas we will have Bi-annual European tours in summertime (my educated predictions)! WOHOOO, europe is the land of milk & honey

    pinkpop 2008 , rage against the machine, foo-fighters, and high on the list PJ...but because the german festivals havent made their minds up about contracting pj, its to expensive for pinkpop to make a decision right know....

    This is interesting actually. I had originally read somewhere that Radiohead were going to do a US tour before a European one. The reality meanwhile is that the Europe tour has been announced and tickets have gone on sale. I'm sure there will still be some sort of US tour in the cards but since this issue goes both ways, ticket prices will likely be steep.

    i am not from the south so i have no vested interest in it, but i do hope for the south this is unture. while financially it certainly does make sense, i am sure other factors get weighed in, especially for a band such a pj. also, it seems to b=me they are taking a well deserved break, so who knows where the dollar will be when they are ready to tour again? it's all pure speculation on anyone's part as to when/where pj will tour next. i hope however it plays out, the south gets some well-deserved shows...and that pearl jam continue onwards wherever they enjoy and all have a blast. :)
    Stay with me...
    Let's just breathe...


    I am myself like you somehow

    doing a festival tour would probably work out cheaper alright. In Europe, PJ would have the potential to play: Electric Picnic, Oxegen, Leeds/ Reading, V Festival, T in the Park, Glasto, Pinkpop, Novarock, Rock am Ring, Rock im Ring, Frequency, Graspop, Hurricane, Southside, Rock Wercheter... and these are just the major ones I can think of at the mo!

    Are there no festivals in the states??

    Many "famous" folks are negotiating their deals with Euros instead of dollars now.

    Last summer I thought this was one of the reason they headed back to Europe to do some performer-friendly festivals.
