Super lame. I was hoping Pearl Jam and Arcade Fire would play Bluesfest.

That lineup was so overhyped. Said it was the "lineup to end all lineups". I was expecting something like Rolling Stones or something.
I'm still gonna go but honestly I'm a bit disappointed with it.

It's a pretty awesome line-up, dude. The organisers would feel pretty great about securing it.

It is not a 10C special pre sale as such. Same pre sale time is available through General Pants Co.

Pretty poor effort for Aussie fans really.

'Snoop Dogg a.k.a Snoop Lion'? WTF?

Pearl jam are exclusive to big day out, which I guess throws sideshows out the window.

Goddammit.

I'm pretty sure they were limited by when the festival had arranged the announcement. They could have easily not done anything (which is what I expected), so I'm pretty impressed there's a fanclub pre-sale at all.

This is going to rule.

Where does it say that? That could mean exclusive to that festival only right? Meaning they could still play side shows. If this is all they're doing that's messed up. Especially after we were short changed on the 2009 tour.

If anyone out there isn't going to this but can help out with 10C pre-sales tickets, please let me know - i'd love some help securing some tickets

Cheers

Ben

Yeah they shouldn't have hyped it as much as they did though, it's not THAT much better than last years (not that I went last year, just talking in terms of quality). I was expecting the Rolling Stones or something ridiculous

No, the official info states: "This will be your only chance to see Pearl Jam in Australia and New Zealand this summer."

Short-changed? Don't be silly, Pearl Jam don't owe Australia anything. It's great that they'll be back at all, it's been too long.

I do love ya enthusiasm Spenno but this is far from ruling in my book. Fairly average lineup and only 12 hours notice of presale. Normally I would hit just about every show but paying $370 per show for two people just to see PJ is not on. If they charge $300 a ticket to see them and a support act I would pay no worries. But the bogan day out is buzz killer. Never missed a tour and will probably damage the credit card tomorrow morning but at moment think will give it a miss.

Ten club basically did do nothing, same presale available to non fan club members. It is not a fan club pre sale really except for the pass code being Pearl Jam related.

Pearl Jam don't owe Oz anything but would like to think they could treat Aussie fans at least the same as American fans.

Surely you too long for a proper tour like 2006 again ?

I don't really care, I'm not Australian, so there's no investment for me. But that's a pretty quality line-up in anyone's book, objectively. Whether you like the bands or not is down to taste but PJ have done worse.

LetMeSleep · Post by **LetMeSleep** » Wed July 31, 2013 11:45 am

But they're a festival band nowadays. Sure it's not ideal but its better than nothing.

Birds in Hell · Post by **Birds in Hell** » Wed July 31, 2013 11:46 am

There's plenty of places in the States the band have ignored for years, I feel pretty lucky that a place like Adelaide gets a Pearl Jam show every few years.

Sheesh guys, it's a Pearl Jam tour! It's hardly a bad thing. It'll be a blast.

I guess down here it has been hyped and hyped about the line up to end all line ups. When you see that list it doesn't fit the bill. I would happily see any of those bands, or just about any band at all, at a smaller venue and not for $185. The only thing which will make me pay that kind of money is Pearl Jam in that lineup.

Plus are Pearl Jam actually playing a full set. A lot of headliners play only 40 minute sets at Big Day Out.
