Rock fans in Pittsburgh, brace yourselves. Pearl Jam, the iconic grunge band that defined a generation with their raw, earnest brand of rock, will be touching down in Pittsburgh next spring for not one but two nights of nostalgia and fresh tunes. The "Dark Matter" tour is slated to finish with a bang at the PPG Paints Arena on May 16 and 18, marking the band's triumphant return to the city after an 11-year hiatus.
In a rock scene with constant changeover, Pearl Jam's endurance is a testament to their artistry and deep connection with fans. According to WPXI, the announcement also mentions that supporting acts will be announced in the future weeks. Coming off the heels of their latest album, it's a rare opportunity to catch the rockers live for frenzied fans who likely have their 1990s Pearl Jam tee within reach.
According to TribLIVE, Ten Club members get the first dibs on tickets, but the general public isn't left out in the cold. Pearl Jam is running an artist presale through Ticketmaster, with a sign-up deadline of December 10. The presale is expected to kick off several days later on the morning of December 13, making it a potential mad dash for virtual checkout lines.
For longtime followers of the band or newcomers sparked by curiosity, it's an opportunity that's likely circled in calendar apps.
