Pearl Jam’s last performances in the UK took place in July 2022 when they headlined two nights at BST Hyde Park.

‘Dark Matter’ is Pearl Jam’s first album since 2020’s ‘Gigaton’, and it was produced by Grammy Award winner Andrew Watt, who has helmed acclaimed records by Ozzy Osbourne, The Rolling Stones, Iggy Pop and Eddie Vedder in recent years.

Pearl Jam recorded the 11-track album at Shangri-La Studios in Malibu over the course of three weeks in 2023.

The band premiered the album at an exclusive listening party at The Troubadour in Los Angeles in January where Eddie Vedder hailed it as Pearl Jam’s “best work.”

A description of the album reads: ‘Writing and recording in a burst of inspiration, ‘Dark Matter’ was born in just three weeks. As a result, ‘Dark Matter’ channels the shared spirit of a group of lifelong creative confidants and brothers in one room playing as if their very lives depended on it.”

The ‘Dark Matter’ album cover is adorned with striking artwork by acclaimed light painter Alexandr Gnezdilov.
