This just in from one of Kath’s Facebook group memberships (via Mirella from Bugs):
Monday April 19th in St. Pete’s Florida is first official Pearl Jam date that I have heard of. This date flashed on the billboard at the St. Pete’s Times Arena over the weekend!!!
Checking directly with the St. Pete Times Forum website does show an open date at the arena… (the last event listed for April is Bon Jovi on the 17th). Let’s see, the boys are playing the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival on Saturday, May 1st (the 2010 Festival Musical Lineup announcement confirms that here) – so they could potentially be in the South before then. And Pearl Jam DO love Florida, having played multiple dates there regularly since what, 1998? And the South was missed on the Backspacer go ’round last year, was it not? (apart from Austin, TX of course). Ears to the ground, peeps – there be rumblings! Woo hoo!
Thanks to Mirella and to Stephanie P. for the info.
Rock!

coming to the south, great. pj loves florida, why?
Same reason everyone loves Fl. Sun, Beach, Women, a peninsula of tour stops.
Mikey M was born there, and well…lots of water and beaches helps.
it’s so on like donkey kong YEW!
Hmmm…not that Backspacer is old or anything, but wouldn’t it be nice to have something brand spankin new to promote for these April/May shows? Like maybe a new live dvd a la MSG 03 (which took about 4 months to produce)? hint hint. I smell Philly Cheesesteaks in March. BRING ON THE SHOWS BOYS!!!!
all of you will be banned from the 10C and i will resell your member numbers to pay for all the food i require
I’m always game for the boys playing the Tampa area, but I hope they can sell the place out this time. 2000 was awesome when it was sold out. 2003 was kind of phoned in. 2008 was a great show, but it sucks that it didn’t sell out. Maybe they could work with ticket prices to make it work? I know as a pharmacy student in his last year that I’m strapped.
Peace,

I hope they come back to Texas. ACL was great but I want a PJ only concert!!!
