On Thursday, February 6th, it was announced that Pearl Jam is set to take the stage of the iconic Apollo Theater next month for an exclusive show.
The invitation-only concert will be taking place on March 26, and will mark the first time the legendary rockers have ever performed at the historic venue. This show will also happen just hours prior to the release of the band’s eleventh studio album, Gigaton.
“We are incredibly humbled and honored to take the stage at the legendary Apollo Theater,” lead guitarist Stone Gossard said in a statement. “We look forward to a memorable show to celebrate Gigaton. It’s hard to [ov]erstate the sacred and historical importance of the Apollo to the history of American popular music and African Americans’ preeminent role in its invention. We will play this special one time show with those artists in mind.”
