Get ready for a year like any other year—one chock-full of inescapable Pearl Jam!
2011 marks twenty years for the band, and following a live Labour Day weekend stint at Alpine Valley Music Theatre in Wisconsin (the band’s only 2011 U.S. shows), the band will head to Canada for a ten-date, cross-country trek. You can find the full tour dates below. Tickets go on sale Friday, May 27th, with the exception of the Montreal date, which goes on sale Saturday, May 28th.
In addition to a Canadian tour, the band will release a Cameron Crowe-directed film, Pearl Jam Twenty, which captures the band’s journey over its twenty years (you can watch a teaser clip below), along with a Cameron-Crow curated soundtrack. And that’s not all—there’s the book, too. Called “a definitive chronicle of the band’s past two decades,” it was compiled and written by veteran music journalist and current Late Night With Jimmy Fallon music booker, Jonathan Cohen, with Mark Wilkerson (author of Who Are You: The Life of Pete Townshend). Save your dollars, fans.
