Pearl Jam concert chronology

The Pearl Jam 2018 Tour was a concert tour by the American rock band Pearl Jam. The tour consisted of twenty-seven shows, with five in South America, fifteen in Europe and seven in North America.[1][2] It was the band's first tour following their North American tour that finished in August 2016.[3][4]

The South American shows took place in March 2018 and were part of the Lollapalooza festival.[5][6] The band also played their own headlining shows at the Movistar Arena, Chile and the Maracanã Stadium, Brazil.[7][8] The European shows started at the Ziggo Dome in Amsterdam on June 12 and concluded at the NOS Alive Festival in Lisbon on July 14, 2018.[9][10] On March 30, 2018, a second show at the Ziggo Dome was announced.[11][12]

In January 2018, the band announced two shows at Safeco Field in Seattle, billed as the "Home Shows", with proceeds to benefit regional homelessness programs. It was the first time in five years since the band last played in their hometown.[13][14] Later the same month, five more dates were announced in North America, under the name of the "Away Shows".[15] The band used the show at Washington–Grizzly Stadium in Missoula, Montana to promote their Rock2Vote campaign to encourage young people to vote.[16][17] Pearl Jam's shows at Wrigley Field and Fenway Park ended up earning $8.1 million and $7.7 million respectively,[18] topping the Billboard Boxscore chart that was dated November 3, 2018.[19]
