The Washington-Grizzly Stadium was filled with excitement on Thursday night as the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame group Pearl Jam performed as part of their Dark Matter Tour. This marked the band’s first concert in Missoula since 2018, and the Seattle-based group played to a full house.
Missoula is a significant stop on the world tour for Jeff Ament, Pearl Jam’s Bassist, who hails from Montana. Ament used the occasion to encourage everyone in the crowd to vote in the upcoming election.

One of the highlights of the Pearl Jam tour so far has been the exclusive merchandise. Missoula once again had 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 merchandise this year has been labeled as “fantastic.” Among the offerings is a setlist t-shirt, which might have inadvertently given fans a sneak peek into what the band will play.
