    you're reading things in between the lines that just ain't there. :rolleyes:

    Neil Young was the act I was on about (tho I didn't know that at the time).

    I guess it's possible that C,S&N could play with NY, but I think that's unlikely, unless perhaps for just a song or two. Otherwise I'd have thought NY would be playing their Ireland date too.

    As far as I'm aware tho there's no issue between NY and the other three - i'm pretty sure that he's toured with them in the last few years. I think it's just the case that he likes to do his own thing most of the time.

    Sorry guys but I don't reckon NY is gonna happen. I have nothing to base this on but it's gone awfully quiet on the rumour front and as far as i'm aware he doesn't have any plans to tour in the summer.

    Also he is notoriously fickle and I thought it was quoted that he wanted £1M to perform last year...

    Anybody got any views out there? Neil (e-festivals)?

    Out of England gigs I've done:

    Pearl Jam - Paris 2000

    Pearl Jam - New Jersey 2003

    Pearl Jam - Marseille 2006

    Pearl Jam - Verona 2006

    Some of the best holidays I've had too.

    never really travelled around any of the UK outside of where I live for gigs though, went to Wolverhampton to see counting crows once back in 2000 and saw ginger (wildhearts) in pompey once. I think that's about it.

    young is canadian, but he's north american I suppose.

    eavis has already said madonna is not playing.

    As happens every year, there have been some more off-the-wall suggestions – including that of Madonna.

    But Mr Eavis said of that rumour: "That's not a good one."

    this is nice and near to my mum's house, so hopefully I can go, or at least work it and see a few bands inbetween without spending a fortune on hotel/travel.

    New album in the works...

    Pearl Jam is about to hit the studio for a two-week session in Los Angeles with producer Brendan O'Brien as it continues work on its ninth studio album, which the band plans to self-release in the United States.

    After laying down some instrumental beds last summer, additional demos were put to tape in December, and the band's non-singing members formulated another batch of material during a recent trip to Montana.

    Frontman Eddie Vedder "put rough vocals on about half the stuff we worked on in December," bassist Jeff Ament tells Billboard.com. "There's a handful of really great lyrics. Lyrically, that stuff is in the embryonic stage, but there's a handful of lines and a couple of choruses that are just really great. He keeps getting better."

    "I saw [guitarist] Mike [McCready] last night and we were both talking about this song and that song," he continues. "One of the songs we decided would go down a whole step and he was asking me about a chord progression."

    This will be the first time Pearl Jam has spent significant time recording outside Seattle since 1996's "No Code," some of which was tracked with O'Brien in Chicago and New Orleans between touring. The band is confident the new album will be out in 2009.

    "There's certainly been groups of songs that we've recorded very quickly," Ament says. "When we went to Atlanta and New Orleans, we could knock out two, three, four songs in the same amount of days. We did the same thing in Chicago. I'm kind of approaching it with the idea that it'll work out like those sessions did."

    Ament says the band is very excited about the return of O'Brien, who hasn't worked on a full Pearl Jam album since 1998's "Yield" but has recently overseen a complete remixing of the band's 1991 debut, "Ten," which will be reissued March 24 on Epic/Legacy.

    "He brings a brutally honest approach to what he thinks is working and what isn't, and it really moves things along," he says. We don't get waded down with ideas that maybe aren't even that good. He's one of the few people outside of the band that we trust with our music, and we're really, really looking forward to making this record."

    The new album will be the follow-up to Pearl Jam's self-titled 2006 release for J Records, which has sold 704,000 copies in the United States, according to Nielsen SoundScan.
