click to enlargePearl Jam has announced their two-day music festival to celebrate their 20th anniversary. Awesome! Is it some cool small show at The Showbox Market in Pike Place Market? Nope. Ok, maybe The Moore Theater where they filmed part of their smash hit 'Evenflow' at the start of their career? Nada! Ok, then it mut be at the Paramount Theater then right? Wrong again! Then it is obviously at Seattle's Key Arena then. Not even close. In fact it is not even in Seattle. It's not even anywhere near the Northwest area that helped kick off their success!
The Alpine Valley Music Theatre in East Troy, Wisconsin will play host to this historical event. The other bands scheduled to be there are The Strokes, Queens of the Stone Age, Mudhoney and others. This “Destination Weekend” festival is Pearl Jam’s only U.S. concert date in 2011.
No word has been given as to why the band has stuck their nose up at their home town like this. Do they even care?
Since the festival is scheduled for Memorial Day weekend this could have been a major event for Bumpershoot weekend.
Pearl Jam frontman Eddie Vedder does have two Seattle dates from his solo tour in July if Seattle's music scene feels like giving him a piece of his mind.
