Pearl Jam will release their much-anticipated eleventh studio album, ‘Gigaton’, on Monkeywrench Records\/Republic Records on March 27, 2020 in the US. Internationally, the album will be released and distributed by Universal Music Group.<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Produced by Josh Evans and Pearl Jam, ‘Gigaton’ marks the band\u2019s first studio album since GRAMMY award-winning ‘Lightning Bolt’, which was released on October 15, 2013. ‘Gigaton’ is available for pre-order now at www.pearljam.com. The first single, ‘Dance of the Clairvoyants’, will be released in the coming weeks.<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cMaking this record was a long journey,\u201d explains Mike McCready. \u201cIt 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.”<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

2020 officially marks 30 years of Pearl Jam performing live. Eleven studio albums, hundreds of unique live performances and official live concert bootleg releases later, the band continues to be critically acclaimed and commercially successful – with over 85 million albums sold worldwide and a 2017 induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.<\/p>\n

The cover of ‘Gigaton’ features a photo by Canadian photographer, filmmaker, and marine biologist. ‘Ice Waterfall’ was taken in Svalbard, Norway, and the image features the Nordaustlandet ice cap gushing high volumes of meltwater. Paul Nicklen lives a life of art, purpose and adventure, combining a career as an assignment photographer for National Geographic Magazine and founder of his own conservation society, SeaLegacy. In addition to being one of the world\u2019s most acclaimed nature photographers, Paul is an acclaimed polar specialist, speaker, author, conservationist, National Geographic Fellow, and a regular contributor to National Geographic Magazine with 20 completed stories to date.<\/p>\n

In support of ‘Gigaton’, Pearl Jam will embark on their first leg of North American tour dates in March and April. The 16-date tour kicks-off on March 18 in Toronto and wraps with a two-date stint in Oakland April 18-19. Pearl Jam’s North American tour is in addition to the band’s previously announced European summer tour, which kicks off in Frankfurt, Gemany on June 23rd. Full details are available from the band’s official website<\/a>.<\/p>\n
