“For nearly two years, the band has wanted nothing more than to perform their new music live for you,” Pearl Jam said in a statement. “The entire Pearl Jam team shares your enthusiasm for getting us all back on the road safely again.”
The 2020 tour was scheduled to begin March 18, 2020 in Toronto. The trek was scheduled for the release of Pearl Jam’s 11th studio album, Gigaton. Rehearsals for the tour had already begun when the band was forced to postpone the shows.
In September, Pearl Jam made their musical debut gigaton for the first time live. The band performed several songs from the album during a headlining set at Asbury Park, New Jersey’s Sea.Hear.Now Festival, a gig that also marked Pearl Jam’s first gig in more than three years. .
Later that month, the band performed album tracks “Retrograde” and “Alright” at the Ohana Festival in Dana Point, California.
Pearl Jam will follow the rescheduled North American tour dates with a European tour, which is set to begin in June 2022. See all Pearl Jam tickets here.
