Green Day/Pearl Jam/Bruce Springsteen - Possible?

[Gingo]

Quite obvious i mean't the other way round with Blink and MCR headlining. You could've realised this and just is that what you mean't to be fair.

Sorry I came in drunk and read it as it was written my mind processed it well for what it was

[luckysalt]

Seems a lock Pearl Jam are booked, just too much mentions on twitter by Giddings for them not to play

[gazza_20]

You said completely the opposite thing?

Anyway, appears IOW are trying to appeal to a new market with Blink and MCR. Wonder if it could work, especially as R&L appears to be being deserted.

[gazza_20]

if true then i cant see soundgarden touring this year, as the only time they could plausibly play would be at the end of the festival season which probably wouldn't happen as it would be R&L...

[lharris92]

why can't Soundgarden play two weeks later?

[gazza_20]

cause if pearl jam are touring, no dates have been announced yet, and when they do there will be a clearer picture which could make it possible.

however the reason is the drummer is in both bands and it would mean he would have to be rehearsing with both simultaneously which is one heck of a task.

[lharris92]

true, would depend on how many shows pearl jam do though maybe?

they were rumored for big day out but that didn't happen. could IOW get them exclusively?

[gazza_20]

would probably cost a fair amount to get them on an exclusive, but i doubt it would be a european exclusive as that would push up the demand so much they would put on more shows to feed the demand.

could be a uk exclusive though

[lharris92]

unless they are sharing two hrc bands? and playing they're too? only a week after soni so will be in europe around then.

I'm surprised no one has said Lady Gaga yet with both her and IOW having ties to Solo Music Agency and they would need something far more mainstream if it's The Boss and Pearl Jam aswell.

Giddings has tweeted bout lady gaga. Its a strong possibility. I was thinking this yesterday

I think alot of people aren't reading the original post properly, haha.

He's already said it's three American rock bands, keeping dancier acts on the second stage. If he was to book Lady Gaga as a headliner after saying it's three American ROCK bands, i'd like to know why he lead us all on

[Jackosityguy]

Or what he actually said was American headliners...

"Well I've made offers to them, so let's not tempt fate, but I'm aiming for the 'American Trilogy'. What that means is that in the 'Big Top' I'm going to have more dance and urban acts than I've ever had before."

How about Ratm? They have been rumoured for main square and Bilbao live.

Curve ball perhaps.

[Joe-]

Rage would follow Biffy pretty well

[Justiceforcedave]

...Considering that Pearl Jam are making an announcement tomorrow, it seems like it's pretty much spelt out ; )

[Justiceforcedave]

...well, as far as Friday is concerned.

[luckysalt]

Pearl Jam for Friday huh? I would have thought Saturday with Biffy under, Interesting.

Couple of Big headliners there. Best they've ever had at the mo for me. Wonder who their third is gunna be.

[luckysalt]

I find it hilarious that on the official IOW forums theres load of people saying Pearl Jam are a shit headliner, not big enough, maybe they could headline the second stage etc

Just ridiculous.
