Pearl Jam are set to release their first studio album in seven years entitled, ‘Gigaton’. There’s a US and European tour already announced which will support the album.
In an official press statement, lead guitarist Mike McCready said that making ‘Gigaton’ was “emotionally dark and confusing at times, but also an exciting and experimental road map to musical redemption.”
The rockers’ last album, ‘Lightning Bolt’, was hailed as a return to form after 2009’s ‘Backspacer’ got mixed reviews.
Sadly there’s no Irish date included in the tour. the only tour dates announced have been for North America and Europe.
The band, however, are set to play Hyde Park on July 10th. The album, meanwhile, is set for release on March 27th, with pre-orders now available.
