Pearl Jam

I just thought I'd start a thread on people's views on Pearl Jam headlining, especially with the announcement of an album coming out in 2013 which could make them more likely. I think they've played with SOAD before as well, correct me if I'm wrong though haha. Still think other rumours like Blur or Sabbath are more likely but still.

Pearl Jam would be incredible would be a suitable headliner above SOAD, yet it would still be diverse enough to draw in more people than Rage/SOAD would.

Tried to look for them playing somewhere with SOAD but I couldn't find anything, anyone?

This news has only just surfaced with the NME? I thought it had been widely known that their next album was out this year, and that's why it was constantly suggested in the lineup thread, and also why they were so strongly tipped for Download.

Anyway, as much as I'd enjoy it, I can't see it happening at all. They're not the type of band to jet over for just one festival.

I'd agree more popular, but I'm saying the same people who'd go to see would Rage would be the ones who'd go to see SOAD if you get me? I think Pearl would bring different people and because of their status, maybe sell more tickets?

The Rage hype has kind of died down too, if they were to release new material then that might change

Remember Pearl Jam were announced for Download this year by Vodafone, then Andy [Download's booker] said that Vodafone were told they were close to playing but in the end they decided to tour later in the summer so Download couldn't book them.

Not exactly many festivals left, unless they're doing a tour, or just scrapped the idea of touring altogether

I would LOVE Pearl Jam to headline... I saw them in Manchester last year and they were superb... Such a well polished group and put on a brilliant show (up there with Foo's and Metallica).

Big group, Good music, performed well... Can't really ask for more.

    • Not necessarily but it should be, Download have a habit of messing it uo when others get the bookings on point. Good Charlotte I doubt are playing 3rd down and that too 3 that day while dreamy is too strong. I think you'd have one another day to help sell weekend tickets. I also doubt Papa Roach play. 
    • Here's a bit of a wild stab, few placings may be off, and for all I know half of these won't actually be touring next year, but screw it, it's a bit of fun   Pyramid: Sabrina Carpenter, Phoebe Bridgers, TBA (Florence + The Machine), Garbage, The Last Dinner Party, Interpol, Alex James Britpop Classical Other: Chase & Status, Teddy Swims, Clairo, The Kooks, Zara Larsson, Kingfishr, Sports Team, Orbital West Holts: Robyn, Baby Keem, De La Soul, Deltron 3030, JID, Dua Saleh, kwn, Daniela Latila Woodsies: Bonobo, Darkside, TBA (Tame Impala), Laufey, Warmduscher, Wednesday, The Lottery Winners, The Royston Club, Florence Road Park: Patti Smith, Super Furry Animals, Slayyyter, The Cardigans, Skye Newman, Kelly Lee Owens, Teen Jesus & The Jean Teasers   Pyramid: Harry Styles, The xx, Richard Ashcroft, The Pogues, Jessie J, Sigrid, Travis Other: Rosalia, Sombr, Mitski, Alex Warren, Holly Humberstone, Cat Burns, Pale Waves, Yard Act West Holts: Basement Jaxx, Elyanna, Clipse, L’Imperatrice, Nation of Language, Jim Legxacy, Yazmin Lacey, RIP Magic Woodsies: Suede, Chvrches, Bleachers, MUNA, The Cribs, Keo, Bleech 9:3, The Lilacs Park: MARINA, Magdalena Bay, Jacob Alon, TBA (Lily Allen performs West End Girl), Getdown Services, Isaac Wood, Snail Mail, Madra Salach Pyramid: Sam Fender, Hozier, David Byrne, Cher, Obongjayar, David Gray, Billy Ocean Other: Doja Cat, Deftones, Addison Rae, Ren, Viagra Boys, Maisie Peters, The Reytons, Hard Life West Holts: Kano, Thievery Corporation, Angine De Poitrine, Thee Sacred Souls, Brooke Combe, Sasha Keable, Master Peace Woodsies: The Wombats, Metronomy, Geese*, Dry Cleaning, EsDeeKid, Sienna Spiro, Cowboy Hunters, Radio Free Alice Park: Big Thief, Laura Marling, MJ Lenderman, Richard Dawson, Oklou, Maruja, Dead Dads Club, Ratboys   *There's always one band booked for Woodsies that ends up being massively under-billed and gets shut down really early. They'd be better off playing somewhere like Other sub, but I could see the G getting them to play a smaller stage while it's still possible
    • Another Kraftwerk one for me today, as just back from seeing them.    
    • Completed my 2026 survey. Put down Super Furry Animals as my most wanted for next year but suspect the moment has gone for that. Popped a big shopping list in the box for who else you would like to see. 🙂
