A French radio station has apparently ran a competition for listeners to win tickets to a brace of Pearl Jam shows in the UK... shows that we, in the UK, know nowt about.
Details of the unspecified station's broadcast has been picked up by a few UK-based sites, which are now reporting that the grunge veterans are to play two nights at London's Astoria, on April 20 and 21. As yet we, at least, have had no official word from the band's label, Sony/BMG.
The dates do tie in with the release of the band's next album, though. Pearl Jam's latest long-play release, dubbed the Avocado album, will be out on May 1.
!
Yeah! I just found about this! I think it's confirmed because BBC6Music just announced a gig on the 20th April at the Astoria!
It's just a one off gig though!
the astoria ?
expect tickets on ebay for hundreds and hundred of pounds
Does anyone know what time tickets go on sale?
I read on the NME they're on sale tomorrow, but want to know if it's a 9am sale or not as it will dictate how much sleep I get between now and then.
Ta.
i'm pretty positive..
..it's a 9am sale :o)
21st?
This article seems to be the only reference I can find of a gig on the 21st at The Astoria too. Anyone know if there actually will be an April 21st date?
you won't get anything from SonyBMG
as Pearl Jam are no longer with them..

supposed to be headlining reading?
I god damn hope so
i think
J Records is a subsidiary of Sony/BMG
