The wait is over, Pearl Jam fans. On Monday, the revered Rock and Roll Hall of Fame band announced some big news: Its new album, Gigaton, will be released on March 27.
The first new PJ album since 2013’s Lightning Bolt, it comes with heightened anticipation, to say the least.
Said guitarist Mike McCready in the press release regarding Gigaton:
“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.”
Additionally, Pearl Jam will embark on a North American tour, which is also something the band hasn’t done in quite some time. The dates:
