Pearl Jam will play on Camden Seafront in September

Pearl Jam arrives in Camden.

The Seattle rock band led by Eddie Vedder will play at the Waterfront Music Pavilion on the New Jersey side of the Delaware River in September.

The show is in support of gigaton, the band’s 11th studio album, released in March 2020 at the start of the pandemic. Most of the shows on the band’s 2022 tour, which kicks off May 3 in San Diego, were originally scheduled for 2020, but there was no stop in the Philadelphia area on Gigaton’s original tour. The date of September 14 in Camden is new.

Pearl Jam has a long history in the Philadelphia market. Grunge survivors played 25 shows in the area, including early 1990s shows at JC Dobbs in South Street and Trocadero in Chinatown, when, two dates at Borgata in Atlantic City in 2005, four shows at Spectrum in 2009 which were the final performances at the since-demolished sports arena and at the inaugural Made in America festival in 2012.

In 2016 the band played their 1991 album Ten in its entirety to celebrate their 10th sold-out show in South Philly, and in 2020 the band released a video of that show on the Philly-founded streaming platform Nugs.net as a fundraiser for their campaign voter mobilization campaign PJ Votes.

Last month, Vedder published earthling, his third solo album, which includes guest appearances from Elton John, Stevie Wonder and Ringo Starr. He played a few dates in support of the album backed by a band that included Irish songwriter Glen Hansard, bassist Pino Palladino and Josh Klinghoffer, who is a touring member of Pearl Jam.

On all Pearl Jam 2022 dates, Klinghoffer’s band Pluralone will be the opening act.
