Good news Pearl Jam fans!
The band has confirmed it has new music on the way.
The follow up album to 2013’s Lightning Bolt, titled Gigaton, is expected to drop March 27th via Monkeywrench/Republic.
Lead guitarist Mike McCready said in a press release: “Making this record was a long journey. It was emotionally dark and confusing at times, but also an exciting and experimental road map to musical redemption. Collaborating with my bandmates on Gigaton ultimately gave me greater love, awareness and knowledge of the need for human connection in these times.”
But there’s more good news!
The band is also set to go on a North American tour, just a week before the new album arrives. The 30-date tour kicks off on March 18th in Toronto, Ontario with multiple dates before heading across the pond, where they’ll play multiple show in Europe and the UK.
