Pearl Jam concert in the Grove? Dan has a plan

Dan Travieso at 2016's FestiDan

So we normally would be celebrating FestiDan this weekend, as today is Dan Travieso's birthday. Every year for 10 years, Dan threw a big party to raise money for charity. Dan retired FestiDan after last year's event.

But now Dan has a plan. He wants to bring a big concert to Peacock Park next summer and he wants Pearl Jam to perform! 

Pearl Jam has no clue about this, they have not been approached and it's just an idea in Dan's head, but this afternoon, Dan started a social media campaign to make it happen. The concert will also be live streamed, as the park only holds 10,000 people!

For more info, check out his FestiDan site here.  You can see Dan's social media plan, which includes using the hashtag #PearlJamSavesFestidan. There are membership costs too to help pay for the event. I'm not sure how much Pearl Jam costs but it is a charity event, which benefits Castaways Against Cancer, which FestiDan has always done - raise money for charity.

"Hopefully we get enough traction on social media and enough people reach out to them in the various ways to get their attention.  It may be a long shot, but hey, my goal is to get Pearl Jam to Coconut Grove by any means necessary! " says Dan. He started his social media campaign at noon today, August 17.

I think Dan may have better luck getting Pearl Jam than having the City of Miami approve a concert in Peacock Park these days, but we hope he gets it done!

But could the future of FestiDan now be concert promoter? You know, Dan  can arrange and promote a big concert every summer? Why not?
