Pearl Jam has revealed plans for their upcoming Dark Matter Tour across the United States in 2025, announcing ten shows across five cities from April to May. The legendary rock band is also implementing measures to combat ticket scalping and maintain reasonable pricing for fans.

The tour kicks off with two shows at Hard Rock Live in Hollywood, Florida on April 24 and 26. The band will then perform double-night stands in Atlanta, Nashville, Raleigh, and Pittsburgh, wrapping up the run at PPG Paints Arena on May 18.

To protect fans from inflated resale prices, Pearl Jam is offering most tickets through their Ten Club fan club membership program. The band has also made tickets non-transferable where possible and will sell approximately 10% through PJ Premium to help offset tour costs. All advertised ticket prices will include service fees upfront, with only taxes added at checkout.

For fans unable to attend after purchasing tickets, the band has partnered with Ticketmaster to create a Fan-to-Fan Face Value Ticket Exchange in each city. This system requires a U.S. bank account or debit card, and any tickets found listed above face value on secondary markets will be canceled.

Ticket sales begin with an exclusive Ten Club members presale, available now to those who were active members as of December 4, 2024. The general public can access tickets through a Ticketmaster Artist Presale starting December 13 at 10 AM local time, with sign-ups open until December 10.

Support acts for the tour dates will be announced in the coming weeks. The tour supports Pearl Jam's latest album Dark Matter, which has received three GRAMMY nominations.
