Eddie Vedder-fronted Pearl Jam has rescheduled their North American shows in support of their 2020 album Gigaton as part of a two-leg tour, the first of which will begin May 3 in San Diego, California, and wrap May 20 in Las Vegas, Nevada. Followed by that, a fall leg kicks off Sept. 1 in Quebec City, Quebec, and closes Sept. 22 in Denver, Colorado. Recently, a poster emerged on social media where it indicated the ‘Pearl Jam North America’ tour will have new exclusive merchandise for May of this year.

Josh Klinghoffer opens up on joining Pearl Jam as a live member
Pearl Jam recently added Josh Klinghoffer from Red Hot Chili Peppers to be a live member for the band on their 2022 tour. He was also part of Eddie Vedder’s band for the latter’s recent album Earthling and will open the Pearl Jam shows under the banner of Pluralone — his first-ever solo performances.
“It will just be me,” he told Spin in a recent interview. “I’m traveling with those guys because I’m playing with them, so it would be logistically difficult to bring other people. I never wanted to be a solo performer, or, at least, to start as a solo performer. What I’ve got coming up is a big step forward for me, and fucking nuts to imagine doing, but I’ll do it.
“From things those guys have graciously said, I can imagine there being some special guests from the pool of musicians that will be in the building anyway. Jeff [Ament] already helped out at Ohana and Stone [Gossard] has offered.” He added with a laugh: “ I’m sure if I wanted it, I could get all five of them up there at one point or another, but I’m not going to ask!”
