Pearl Jam spreekt van een nachtmerrie, de organisatie van het Deense Roskilde festival heeft het over 'een tragisch ongeval'; acht bezoekers overleden vrijdag 30 juni toen ze plat werden gedrukt tijdens een optreden van de band van Eddie Vedder. Alle slachtoffers zijn mannen, een van hen is 23 jaar oud en komt uit Nederland, zo weet de site van NME te melden. Volgens een verklaring op de site van het Roskilde festival werd het drama veroorzaakt doordat een aantal mensen in het gedrang hun evenwicht verloren. Een technisch onderzoek vindt op dit moment plaats. Pearl Jam is diep geschokt door het drama. De band laat het volgende in een verklaring weten: "Ons leven zal nooit meer hetzelfde zijn. Wij weten echter dat dit niets is vergeleken met het verdriet van de familie en de vrienden van de slachtoffers.'' In de nieuwsgroep nl.muziek is te lezen dat Pearl Jam na het optreden onder behandeling van traumaspecialisten is gesteld. Optredens op Torhout-Werchter en volgende week in Ahoy zijn afgezegd. Er komt voor dit laatste concert geen vervangende datum. Kaarten kunnen tot 1 augustus geretourneerd worden bij de voorverkoopadressen.

PJ komt met een mededeling…

Dit kan zijn een tour of gig aankondiging zijn. Ik denk enkel in New York of tour-start waarschijnlijk New York en meer in Noord-Amerika.
De vorm van die aankondiging is heeel interessant, want is dit de gehoopte PJ25 tour. De "S" van "special" is zilver wat op een 25 jarig jubileum kan duiden.

"Stay Tuned" en "special announcement coming soon", duurt nu wel wat langer...
Het houdt de fans wel bezig zo:
Pearl Jam Promises Announcement?

Pearl Jam gave its fans something to talk about over the Fourth of July weekend by announcing July 2 that the band would be making a “special announcement.”

The group said followers on Facebook and Twitter should “stay tuned.” Based on the image below, which resembles a New York subway sign, fans are guessing that the big news has something to do with NYC. Although the image declares that the announcement is “coming soon,” it’s been four days and we’re apparently still waiting.
Sites like Gothamist and Stereogum point to the theory that Pearl Jam might be playing Global Citizen Festival. The event returns to Central Park’s Great Lawn Sept. 26. So far the only confirmed act is Ed Sheeran.
Pearl Jam manager Kelly Curtis and the Global Poverty Project CEO Hugh Evans launched the Global Citizen Tickets Initiative in 2013 to encourage fans to help fight poverty while earning points for concert tickets. The Global Poverty Project is the advocacy organization behind the Global Citizen Festival.
Of course, a new Pearl Jam U.S. tour would be nice too. The band hasn’t toured the States since last fall. Pearl Jam heads to South America in November for a run of dates including stops in Chile, Brazil and Colombia.
Or maybe the news has nothing to do with New York or a tour.
As of the time of this post, Pearl Jam’s most recent update on Twitter was a photo posted on Sunday of Vedder, captioned with “Education” lyrics – “If I’ve been taught from the beginning. Would my fears now by winning?”
The most recent Facebook update announces that the band’s Nov. 30, 1993 show in Las Vegas has been chosen as Vault #5 and will be released on vinyl. A fan named Jeff Osantowski posted on Facebook, “This isn't the big special announcement, is it? If so, my new favorite band shall be Air Supply.”

vaag nieuwtje van "The Porch"...
I can tell you as someone who never posts, that there 100% is going to be a tour next year. Not trying to be some secretive douchey guy, but my buddy is directly tied to one of the band members and it is confirmed. (closely tied). I dont know and didnt ask specifics as far as announcements and dates, but its definitely happening. Only trying to give some of you a heads up to get your memberships up to date. See you folks there.

NINE ROCKS is a film about guilt, sorrow but also of finding one’s new place in life after the most tragic and life changing experience.
The story is told by director Tor Nygård Kolding who was part of the pile of people in front of the stage,
when nine young men were suffocated during Pearl Jam’s concert during the 2000 Roskilde Festival.
On june 30th 2015 it was exactly 15 years ago. We held a premiere at the Roskilde Festival where 3000 people sat and watched it with us. Stone Gossard from Pearl Jam sent this note, that the director of Roskilde Henrik Bondo Nielsen read to the audience:
June 30, 2000 is a date that I will never forget.
What was meant to be a day of people coming together and celebrating their love of music,
ended in the loss of nine lives with thousands more left deeply impacted by injury, grief and loss.
Processing grief it is a very individual thing. Tor Kolding’s process included making this film about his experience in the months and years that followed.
Tor conveyed to me in recent correspondence that he hadn’t spoken with one single guy or girl in the audience that day that didn't feel some kind of guilt over what happened. I can relate.
My hope is that this film - and the journey he embarked on to create it - helps Tor and others to process the horror of that day.
- Stone Gossard, Pearl Jam

NINE ROCKS is Tor’s story, with music by Pearl Jam.

er word al dieper ingegaan op de mogelijke tourplannen in Europa in 2016...
even een paar Quote's op een rij
Chances of Europe 2016 ?

- Time to start planning next summers time off, any news of Europe next year ?
If theres festival show we normally hear early December so I would expect some rumours by now but I've heard nothing,anybody hear anything ?

- I'm hoping the run of 2010, 2012 and 2014 means we'll have a Euro 2016 tour.
However, I fear that as they've taken most of this year off they might not come back until 2017.
But this is all a guess, I've not heard any rumours anywhere.

- Pinkpop in the Netherlands might get PJ if we listen to the organisation..

- hopefully but the pinkpop quotes i saw were all from last year, I guess we will know in about a month or so when festivals starta announcing headliners

- yep not saying it wont happen if there are no festivals just that if there are we will know in a few weeks

- Don't we have a Pinkpop rumour pretty much every year? The promotor is on the record as saying he'd love PJ but I'm sure he's not the only promotor who would.

- yes i think we do, the one i saw was from after 2015 pinkpop was finished about PJ in 2016 but your right pinkpop is rumoured every year

- Yeah, why not. Look at 2010. East Coast in May, Europe in June. http://pearljam.com/setlists/1025/2010

weet niet wat dit betekend?
Let's everybody carry on, carry on.
