Pearl Jam-Dave Matthews Band festival rumored

A Pearl Jam and Dave Matthews Band festival may be in the works for later this year.

There will be four Dave Matthews Band festivals this year, and Pearl Jam is also planning its own festival. (Both bands are celebrating their 20th anniversaries.)

Rumors had said Phish would be joining the DMB festivals, but Dave Matthews Band news site DMBnews.net reports that DMB bassist Stefan Lessard tweeted today: "DMB & Pearl Jam or DMB & Phish?" That sparked rumors of a joint Dave Matthews Band and Pearl Jam festival this year.

Lessard and Pearl Jam guitarist Mike McCready recently started a side project called 1, 2, 3 Go! with members of Fuel, so a Pearl Jam and Dave Matthews Band festival wouldn't be totally out of left field. But neither band has confirmed the dates, locations or supporting acts for their festivals at this time. Pearl Jam has said its festival will take place this summer, somewhere in the middle of the country.

Here's a video of 1, 2, 3 Go! playing "Fire" by The Jimi Hendrix Experience:
