With the announcement that Pearl Jam plays Missoula this summer, comes a hint that Sen. Jon Tester may be a special guest.

The Democrat seeks reelection to the U.S. Senate this year, and has previously been supported by Pearl Jam.

Tester and Jeff Ament, the band's bassist, are both from the small community of Big Sandy. Tester hinted at a possible campaign stop on his Instagram page, captioned: "The boys from Big Sandy are reuniting. Stay tuned... #montanamoment#tbt"

It wouldn't be the grunge band's first appearance in support of the senator. Pearl Jam played Missoula in 2005, when they appeared at the Adams Center to raise money for Tester's first Senate bid, and again in 2012, when proceeds from some  VIP ticket packages benefited Tester's campaign.


The boys from Big Sandy are reuniting. Stay tuned... #montanamoment #tbt

    Awesome!  I hope this comes through as hinted!  I was just wondering about this for this show.  I won the lotto and should be up near the front with my 18 year old kid getting ready to vote in his first election!

    It bugs me a lot more than it probably should, lol. I absolutely hate the term.
