The alternative rock band launched Ten Days of Pearl Jam earlier this week (December 1), bringing fans a bevy of new footage and information until next Tuesday (December 10).
On Thursday (December 5), Pearl Jam announced an extension of their ‘Dark Matter’ tour, which recently concluded in late-November with a trek through Australia.

Ten Days of Pearl Jam also celebrated the anniversary of their third studio album ‘Vitalogy’, which turned 30 last month (November 22). Yesterday, the occasion saw the band issue a newly-animated version of its CD booklet on an Instagram carousel post.
The ‘Dark Matter’ tour saw the band play a mix of classic tracks and cuts off their latest album, which was released in April this year.
They also performed notable covers on different nights – on one, it was Temple Of The Dog’s ‘Hunger Strike (the first in a decade) and Bruce Springsteen’s ‘No Surrender’, and on another, Taylor Swift’s ‘The Best Day’ with frontman Eddie Vedder’s daughter Harper.
Their cover of Ted Nugent’s ‘Stranglehold’ – which incorporated an ad-libbed line against gun ownership – received a response by the hard rock veteran, who is a member of the National Rifle Association.
“Hey Eddie join me on my RAV [Real America’s Voice show] spirit campfire to discuss how your insane liberal policies have created an explosion in engineered violent recidivism while you fight to disarm helpless innocent citizens,” Nugent wrote in a tweet aiming at Vedder.
In an NME review of ‘Dark Matter’, Liberty Dunworth wrote: “For those longing for the charismatic songwriting that first put the band on the map over three decades ago, ‘Dark Matter’ will come as a pleasant surprise.”
“Not only does it showcase Pearl Jam reclaiming the charm that first made them a force to be reckoned with back in 1991, it comes alongside some of their most impressive musicianship yet, as well as a determination to take risks after years of playing it safe.”
