    It's just going to be Bonnaroo, with more select dates in the future. Which is cool, but tough for the west coaster. I haven't decided yet.

    Fuck Bonnaroo....

    Festivals suck a$$. I would rather see PJ alone on a bill...

    i.e. longer performance and not seeing a bunch of other bands that blow. imnsho.

    MLB, out

    I agree...I'd rather take my closeish ten club seats and maybe get to see a 2 1/2-3 hour show than compete with 100,000 other smelly people in a 100 degree field somewhere for a maybe 2 hour set of mostly hits.

  • I have been listening to PJ through my Ipod at work for the past 10 hours and counting. I am getting really excited for this announcement.

    I have never been to Bonnaroo, and this would be a great time to see other bands and of course the Top of them all!!

    Yes on the 100,000. Yes on the 100 degree. But Bonnaroo headliners are not your standard 2 hour setlists. They may very well go beyond three/three and a half. NO CURFEW BABY! WOOT WOOT!

    Yeah definitely not a Lolla type deal. They are slotted for four hours and can play longer than that. Neil Young played for about 3.5 when he headlined there.

    Again, Pearl Jam could play for 3 hours or more. Headliners at Bonnaroo get time slots long enough for a full show of their own.

    I just hope it will not be too full of hits like Lollapalooza.

    usually the main headliner plays saturday night...widespread panic in 05 (they played sunday night as well), radiohead in 06, and the police last year...you can tell when they release the lineup tonight, whoever is listed first should end up playing saturday, save for special circumstances
    looking for 2 to Columbia...

  • and I haven't seen this mentioned over here yet...read into it what you will...my guess is that it is one of the other two headliners

    The Sunday headliner for Bonnaroo has always been a jam band. I think Pearl Jam will play on Saturday night, but they could also play Friday.
