Pearl Jam have announced a 2025 U.S. tour.
The rockers are set to stop in five cities across the country, kicking off the run on April 26th. In Hollywood, Florida. Playing two shows per city, Pearl Jam will visit Atlanta, Nashville, and Raleigh before concluding the tour with two nights at Pittsburgh’s PPG Paints Arena on May 16th and 18th. Supporting acts remain TBA.
The tour supports their recent album Dark Matter, released in April via Republic Records imprint Monkeywrench. The band began working on the record with producer Andrew Watt in 2021, recording the bulk of the record at Rick Rubin’s famed Shangri-La studio in Malibu. Dark Matter is currently nominated for three Grammy Awards: Best Rock Album, and both Best Rock Performance and Best Rock Song for the title track. The record debuted at No. 1 across five different Billboard charts: Top Rock & Alternative Albums, Top Rock Albums, Top Alternative Albums, and Top Hard Rock.
“We’re at this time in our lives when you could do it or you could not do it, but we still care about putting something out there that is meaningful,” lead singer and guitarist Eddie Vedder shared of the record at a listening event in January 2024. “No hyperbole – I think this is our best work.”
Formed in Seattle, Washington in 1990, Pearl Jams lineup consists of bassist Jeff Ament, rhythm guitarist Stone Gossard, lead guitarist Mike McCready, Vedder and drummer Matt Cameron. Over the course of countless live shows and twelve studio albums, they’ve sold over 85 million records worldwide, and were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2017.
