Pearl Jam concert chronology |
The Pearl Jam Twenty Tour (also known as the PJ20 Tour) was a concert tour by the American rock band Pearl Jam to celebrate the band's 20th anniversary.[1] The tour consisted of a two-day festival at the Alpine Valley Music Theatre in East Troy, Wisconsin on the Labor Day weekend,[2] and was followed by ten shows in Canada,[3] ending with a show at the Pacific Coliseum, Vancouver.[4] The festival dates had support from Queens of the Stone Age, Mudhoney, Liam Finn, John Doe[5] and The Strokes.[6] Due to high ticket demand for pre-sale tickets, the website had to be taken offline.[7]
On July 11, the band announced an additional nine dates in Latin America, scheduled for November.[8] This was the second time that the band had toured Latin America, after their 2005 tour and included a show in San José, Costa Rica.[9] On August 19, a second date was added in São Paulo.[10] American punk band X were announced as the opening band for the Latin American shows.[11][12][13]
History
[edit]The opening show at Alpine Valley featured songs by Mother Love Bone and Temple of the Dog with Chris Cornell on vocals.[14] This was then repeated for the second show.[15] During the first show at the Air Canada Centre in Toronto, the band were joined onstage by Neil Young during their performance of "Rockin' in the Free World".[16][17] The show was later released exclusively as a free digital download through Google Music on November 10 in celebration of the upcoming, official launch of that site on November 16.[18]
