Pearl Jam Share World Tour Dates and Announce New Album 'Dark Matter'
Pearl Jam are set to embark on a world tour in support of their next album, Dark Matter. It will be the band’s 12th studio record, and will arrive on April 19. Ahead of the album, the band has shared the title track.
Dark Matter is the follow-up to 2020’s Gigaton and was written and recorded in three weeks. (The band holed up at Rick Rubin’s Shangri-La in Malibu.) Andrew Watt, who produced Eddie Vedder’s star-studded 2022 album Earthling, also produced the new LP.
“[Watt] has encyclopedic knowledge of our history, not only as a band and how we wrote songs, but as players,” said bassist Jeff Ament. “He could pinpoint things we did on old songs to the point where I was like, ‘What the f--- is he talking about?’ His excitement was contagious.”

“We’re still looking for ways to communicate,” said Vedder of the writing and recording experience. “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 and we hopefully think is our best work. No hyperbole, I think this is our best work.”
The band’s world tour kicks off on May 4 and brings the band to stadiums and arena across the United States, Europe, and Australia through the end of November. You can find ticket information on the band's website.
