Night Two for Pearl Jam at PPG Paints Arena (Sun., 5/18/25)

Pearl Jam, one of the quintessential bands of the 1990’s grunge rock movement rolls into PPG Paints Arena this month for a two night stand. Led by spirited front-man/lead vocalist Eddie Vedder, the band achieved initial rock success with the albums Ten, Vs., and Vitalogy. Songs like “Alive,” Jeremy,” and “Even Flow” are several of the songs that solidified them as one of the best rock bands. Dark Matter is the group’s most recent release, dropping in 2024. The LP reached no. 1 on Billboard‘s US Top Rock & Alternative Albums chart and was nominated in three rock music Grammy Award categories. Pearl Jam’s last Pittsburgh show was in 2013 at the then named Consol Energy Center. The group also opened for the Rolling Stones at PNC Park in September 2005. In 2017 Pearl Jam was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Pearl Jam, founded in Seattle in 1990, has a charitable foundation in which they are both donors and advocates for important issues like the environment, homelessness, and indigenous causes. 7:30 p.m. Sold out. 1001 Fifth Ave., Uptown.
