File this under "interesting". According to PNE's new website, there is upcoming news about PNE collaboration with Pearl Jam. Rock posters for the Euro tour? Could be cool. This would be a departure from PJs regular use of Ames Bros. and in-house artist Brad Klausen and akin to the posters produced for 2006's Australian tour, which featured artists from the land down under.

PNE is short for Post Neo Explosionism and is the rock poster super-group of Justin Hampton, Emek and Jermaine Rogers. You can learn more about them here.

Is getting closer to being a reality. Today, the Chicago Sun-Times published a story "confirming" Pearl Jam as a headliner of this year's Lollapalooza. Lollapalooza will not be confirming the acts playing for another couple of weeks.

While this seems like really positive news, they have there rumored to play Lalla last year as well, along with Bonnaroo this year and last... All of which turned out not to be true. So, we'll see what happens.

But, with the rumors, and the timing after the European tour, it all leads to a strong possibility that PJ will be touring the south and possibly midwest this summer. All pretty exciting huh?

Information taken from this post in this thread on the PJ Message Pit. Doesn't mean it's true by any means, but it'll be interesting to track once an announcement is made by the band. I think similar lists were posted last year and not many dates where true. We'll see.

Bonnaroo rumors are again strong this year for PJ... maybe strong than last year. The website Stereogum.com is all but confirming PJ's appearance, as well some other big names. Rolling Stone says it will happen too.

The European festivals are strong as well, but nothing too solid. Pinkpop was seemingly confirmed yes, then confirmed no all within the past month. A Polish promoter has them listed as playing in Poland on June. Right now, Pearl Jam is listed with no date, but last week the date and location of the show was posted. They must have received some flak from PJ's management on that. Someone on the PJ Message Pit called the promoter and was told tickets would go on sale in February.

Rumors are strong about a tour in southern US states. Bonnaroo gives strength to those rumblings for sure. We'll see what happens!
