Along with the tour announcement, the band will be releasing their 12th studio album, Dark Matter, and shared the title track.
Pearl Jam created the album in 2023 in just three weeks at a studio in Malibu, which will be out on April 19.
"As a result, Dark Matter channels the shared spirit of a group of lifelong creative confidants and brothers in one room playing as if their very lives depended on it. All of the blood, sweat, tears, and energy of a storied career felt renewed and poured into this one body of work," the band said.
"I’m getting chills, because I have good memories. We’re still looking for ways to communicate. We’re at this time in our lives when you could do it or you could not do it, but we still care about putting something out there that is meaningful and we hopefully think is our best work. No hyperbole, I think this is our best work," said band member and legad vocalist Eddie Vedder.
