Pearl Jam took to Instagram on Thursday (December 5) to announce new Dark Matter US tour dates for 2025. The 10-date run kicks off with a pair of concerts in Hollywood, Florida on April 24 and 26, followed by two shows each in Atlanta (April 29 and May 1), Nashville (May 6 and 8), Raleigh (May 11 and 13), before finishing up with two dates in Pittsburgh (May 16 and 18). “We’ve got big news: the Dark Matter Tour isn’t over yet,” the band captioned their post. Pearl Jam’s 2024 Dark Matter Tour finished up at the end of November with a series of sold-out shows in New Zealand and Australia, where the band hadn’t performed in 10 years. Dark Matter was recently nominated for Best Rock Album at the upcoming Grammy Awards, with the record produced by Andrew Watt, who also worked on the Rolling Stones’ Hackney Diamonds. “How many bands that are still around are as good as Pearl Jam right now?” Watt raved in a recent interview with Rolling Stone. “They’re the greatest live band in the world.” (Consequence of Sound)
