About the Episode
Episode Release Date: June 26th, 2024
Episode Guests: Javier Hervas
Pearl Jam loves to play in legendary venues. They’ve conquered the two oldest baseball parks in America, massive stadium venues in South America and plenty of the most famous arenas throughout the world. In London, the absolute cream of the crop when it comes to concert venues is Hyde Park. Back in 2020, Pearl Jam was scheduled to play Hyde Park alongside the Pixies, but after Covid cancelled all plans, they decided to add an extra date due to the demand. This episode covers the first night of a memorable two-night stay.
With massive screens erected for the 65k people to all witness this band from far and near, they came out firing right away. Better Man as an opener sets and amazing tone, Breath was a big surprise played early, Quick Escape featured a little Sex Pistols on the backend and a heartfelt dedication to a fan for Light Years really built up this show to feel as massive as the park. We’ll talk about all of the big moments, as well as focusing on the ticket situation which is currently going happening for the show in London this coming weekend.

The problem with London ticket sales is not just the price…. It’s the fact that they were too late announcing and picking the same weekend as Glastonbury Festival and GreenDay at Wembley stadium… tens of thousands of people were already committed to these.
