Pearl Jam Announce New Album, Gigaton

Pearl Jam have announced details of their long-awaited 11th studio album, Gigaton.

The follow-up to 2013's Lightning Bolt will be released on March 27 via Monkeywrench Records/Republic Records.

“Making this record was a long journey,” says guitarist Mike McCready. “It was emotionally dark and confusing at times, but also an exciting and experimental road map to musical redemption.

"Collaborating with my bandmates on Gigaton ultimately gave me greater love, awareness and knowledge of the need for human connection in these times."

First single, Dance Of The Clairvoyants, is scheduled for release soon.

The artwork for Gigaton features marine biologist Paul Nicklen’s photo Ice Waterfall, depicting the Nordaustlandet ice cap in Svalbard, Norway, melting high volumes of water.

Pearl Jam have also announced details of a North American headline tour, taking place in March and April, shortly before their UK and European run. Get your UK tickets here.
