There might be a "Better Man" to bring you this, but it falls on this reporter to share that Pearl Jam will be back in Philly, this summer, on tour for their new album, "Dark Matter," set to his stores on April 19.
The multi-Grammy award winning band is expected to play the Wells Fargo Center on Sept. 7 and 9 in support of their 12th studio album
Pearl Jam shared "Dark Matter," the new single from the upcoming album with the same name, on social media on Tuesday morning.
The Scene
When will Pearl Jam tour?
The tour kicks off this May with stops in Portland, Seattle, Chicago, London, Boston, New York City, and of course, Philadelphia.
A statment announcing the tour and detailing the new album notes that, last year, the band "retreated to Shangri-La Studios in Malibu where they simply plugged in and played," in order to create the new album in just three weeks.
"I’m getting chills, because I have good memories. We’re still looking for ways to communicate," Pearl Jam's lead singer, Eddie Vedder said in a statement on the album. "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.”
And, don't get too excited, "Just Breathe," but, along with announcing the album and tour, the band has released a tracklist for "Dark Matter."
Here's what fans can expect.
