One of the highlights of the tour so far has been the exclusive merch, with Missoula once again having some of the best items. Fans are particularly curious about the Wrigley Field and Fenway Park specials, which have historically featured unique designs and color schemes. The color selection for the merch this year has been labeled as “fantastic,” and among the offerings is a setlist t-shirt, which might have inadvertently given fans a sneak peek into what the band will play.

As per the t-shirt, the setlist for the upcoming show is shaping up to be festival-like, with a mix of classic hits and some deep cuts that haven’t been played in a while. Fans are especially excited about the possibility of some surprises. There are still two spots in the setlist that appear to be undecided, leaving room for speculation on what songs might make the final cut.
One of the most talked-about potential additions is “Won’t Tell,” a track that fans are hoping will make a return after being absent from the band’s live performances for some time. Another point of discussion is whether “Not For You” might be played in place of “Daughter,” adding a different dynamic to the setlist.
For some context, let’s take a look at the setlist from Pearl Jam’s July 11 concert in Madrid. The band opened with “Lukin” and “Corduroy,” quickly setting the tone for an epic night. Highlights included the tour debut of “Unthought Known,” which was dedicated to actor Javier Bardem, and a touching rendition of “Happy Birthday to You” for two of Eddie Vedder’s friends. The show closed with an epic encore featuring “Better Man,” “Do the Evolution,” “Alive,” and a cover of Neil Young’s “Rockin’ in the Free World,” before wrapping up with “Yellow Ledbetter.”
With the North American tour about to start, fans are eager to find out whether the leaked setlist is true and what surprises Pearl Jam might have in store.
