Pearl Jam’s 20th anniversary is upon us, and the band is celebrating with a series of reissues, a planned Cameron Crowe film on the band’s journey thus far, news of new album sessions with producer Brendan O’Brien, solo projects up the wazoo and more. The big, beautiful cherry on top has been a topic of intense speculation in recent months, as band members have hinted at a flyaway weekend fest at an undetermined location that would feature the Seattle grunge survivors as well as some beloved musical friends. Finally, we have official confirmation of the details.
Pearl Jam will cap their 20th anniversary celebration with a weekend music festival of their very own making over Sept. 3 and 4, featuring The Strokes, Queens of the Stone Age, Mudhoney, Liam Finn, Glen Hansard and more special guests to be announced.
The event will take place in Alpine Valley, WI over Labor Day weekend, followed by a ten-date Canadian tour (dates below).
