Pearl Jam Is Going on a World Tour to Support Newly Announced Album ‘Dark Matter’
Written by djfrosty on February 13, 2024
Pearl Jam is proving the band’s still alive — and not with an evenflow of news, but a gigaton of it. The grunge pioneers announced on Tuesday (Feb. 13), that they will soon drop a twelfth studio album titled Dark Matter, and to celebrate the news, released its title track. Hours later, the Seattle band revealed that it’s also going on a world tour to support the release.
Eddie Vedder, Jeff Ament, Mike McCreedy and Matt Cameron are set to kick off the Dark Matter global trek May 4 at the Rogers Arena in Vancouver, B.C., and will play the West Coast the rest of the month before heading over to Europe for June and July, then returns to the States in late August. The tour wraps in November with shows in New Zealand and Australia. By the end of the tour, the band will have played nine countries and 25 cities.
Pearl Jam will be bringing different acts on the road for various legs of the tour. The Pixies, Deep Sea Diver, The Murder Capital and Richard Ashcroft are the announced openers.
Ticketmaster will hold a Ten Club members-only presale through Ticketmaster Request; only fans who were already active members by Feb. 12 will be able to participate in the presale. Fans can also register by end of day Sunday, Feb. 18, for an opportunity to participate in the registration sale to be held at shops.ticketmasterpartners.com/pearl-jam. Registering will not guarantee access to the ticket sales.

- “Scared of Fear”
- “React, Respond”
- “Wreckage”
- “Dark Matter”
- “Won’t Tell”
- “Upper Hand”
