After announcing this week that 2014 is the last year for Big Day Out in Perth, we are extending a warm invitation to Pearl Jam fans to come down to Arena Joondalup tomorrow, Sunday February 2nd, where all tickets purchased at the gate after 6:00PM will be available for $100 all inclusive.

This is the first time Pearl Jam have played a festival in Australia, and with a cracking 2.5 hour full concert set lined up for tomorrow, it's not one to be missed!

Anyone definitely going to this? I hope Varis gets along after 6 and hits VC then PJ. VC were immense.

about how long have the other BDO shows been?

All about 2.5 hr. Sydney was 2hr45. Tonight could be a long one being the band's last show til June.

80min til showtime

The power is pretty awesome. But has the wrong venue name on it as they changed venue apparently?
Still. It's pretty cool.

I didn't pull the trigger on this one in the end. I gave Eddie Vedder the flick and instead spent the evening with my son and a bad movie.

I'm not complaining - Zac had the option but decided he just wanted to spend his last night before re-hitting boarding school with his old man having a quiety.

And you know what? I'm alright with that.

Hope that all who went had a great one.

You're going to see Vedder solo shortly if I'm not mistaken, yeah?

I'm sure it'll be great.

Plenty of last minute substitutions/changes at this show:
