In addition to Pearl Jam, this 2-day music festival will include performances from fellow artists like Jay-Z, Passion Pit, Dirty Projectors and much more.
I think I might take a pass on this.....PJ,playing a festival in Philly,obviously outside,means maybe 2 hrs,maybe less....hmmmm....Jay Z ? Im not feeling this at all...
If this was just a Pearl Jam gig,Im all over it.......very mixed sounding crowd...Jay Z ????....Thanks but,I dont think so....
so aside of that garbage ehm festival .. some west coast rumor is showing out ..
OK, so, ya ready for this? I asked Mike about the ATL and FL dates and if there were to be any others this year. He said that they are going to play in San Francisco in September! Now, with PJ playing all of these festivals, it had me guessing Outside Lands, but that is being held Aug 10-12, and does have Neil and the Foos. So, perhaps they’ll be added to that if Mikey was mistaken on the month. I don’t think he meant the Bridge School as having played there a ton, he would’ve known to say October. So, if he’s spot on with September, maybe we’ll get a non-festival show somewhere in San Fran. He joked and gave me the mums the word line, “You didn’t hear it from me.” So, go crazy folks, go crazy. West Coasters rejoice! And all fans for that matter, that hopefully this pans out and we all have an opportunity to see the guys with another date and location this fall!

HAHAHAHA Ronnie..that was good..Philly isnt a place I look to hang in...the fans there are a mixed bag......and having a mixed "rap" crowd..with a PJ audience..in Philly ?..that = disaster...
i think you're right .. i really don't get it, maybe my limit in music world of these times.
i don't understand why they have to be there .. PJ trying to break through hip hop fans? Jay-Z trying to make hip hop break through PJ fans?
probably it's just a matter of $ .. but in this case weren't there other proper festivals left? given that they seem to want to do only festivals this year in US
anyhow i don't like this thing at all
Well...PJ has said that their new album is going to be a bit "experimental."
Maybe Eddie and Stone will trade raps...Matt Cameron will turn in his drum kit for a turntable...Mike will beatbox...and Jeff will dance and skateboard in the background.
