PJ announces Australia/New Zealand tour. Fan Club Pre-sale, travel package details coming soon.
08.01.09

Ben Harper and Relentless7 and Liam Finn
to Open All Dates

Tickets for all shows on sale, Monday 17 August

Pearl Jam announced today that they will play a series of outdoor shows in November in Australia and New Zealand, in support of their new album, Backspacer.

Pearl Jam will be returning to Australia for the first time in 3 years, bringing with them their old touring mates, Ben Harper and Relentless7 and Liam Finn, to play for one night only in Perth, Adelaide, Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane, Auckland and Christchurch. Tickets for all shows go on sale on Monday 17 August.

Scheduled for release in Australia and New Zealand on Friday, 18 September, the band‘s ninth studio album, Backspacer, will be available in both countries before the rest of the world. The first single, The Fixer, went to Australian radio on 21 July and was the No. 1 most added song to radio that week.

It‘s been 3 years since Pearl Jam last toured Australia and New Zealand and their Australian fans clearly haven‘t forgotten them with two songs appearing in Triple J‘s recent Hottest 100 of All Time list (Alive at No. 24 and Better Man at No. 39).

Appearing with Pearl Jam, and no stranger to Australian shores, is Ben Harper and Relentless 7, who were last here in April of this year to headline the 20th Anniversary East Coast Blues and Roots Festival and perform a one-off, sold out headline show in Sydney.

Opening all shows will be New Zealand‘s own Liam Finn. Having played his own sold-out shows on every continent, opened for the The Black Keys and Eddie Vedder, and performed at the All Tomorrow‘s Parties‘ ATP Vs The Fans Part II: The Fans Strike Back Festival in UK earlier this year, Liam will join the tour in support of the worldwide release his new EP, Champagne In Seashells, featuring Long Way to Go, on 4 September, 2009.

The shows announced will be ‗one-show-only‘ concerts and promise to be THE must-see rock events of the summer season!

Tickets for all Australian and New Zealand shows will go on sale at 9am on Monday, 17 August 2009, and details of ticket outlets for each show are below.

***Ten Club members-only ticket pre-sale details to follow. Check http://www.pearljam.com for details.

    Can't wait to check out the travel package...always wished I had jumped on the last one for Hawaii...
    got a car...got some gas...oh let's get out of here-get out of here fast...
    I hope you get this message but your not home...I will be there in just a minute or so...
    I want to go but I want to go with you.

    So I'm trying to see how long it will take to travel between Brisbane and Sydney. Place it into Google Maps and it seems to be quite the trip:

    Anyone want to kayak with me across the Pacific?

    We should be still sleeping!!

    So the leaked link we all received yesterday was true. One gig only per state in crappy large stadium.

    The vibe will be very different this year but we're still fortunate to have them here :)

    Well wanted to go at one point...but as it's in november....and stadium shows...it won't be worth the trip...

    DROP THE LEASH DROP THE LEASH....GET OUTA MY FUCKIN' FACE!!!

    Fuck yeah! This is going to be awesome! Bring it on guys!!!

    There is a 10C presale, so there HAS TO BE some concessions for us regardless of seated or GA.

    As for Brisbane to Sydney - it's just down the road mate! 10-11hr drive will get you there no worries! 1000km is nothing to us Aussies.

    As for the travel packages. Are they talking international, or national? My initial reaction was they were putting together some deals for us Aussies as we have to travel so much just to see all the gigs. I hope like hell that's the case!!

    Ouch... I wouldn't have said it in this thread. trifim.gif

    I imagine you are very excited and impatient...but New Zealand folks have been waiting 11 years... d'oh.

    Sure makes me appreciate how many times we were lucky to have been able to see them here in U.S.!

    I was really excited about my first trip to oz, now I must admit I'm reconsidering. PJ is splitting the ticket with Ben, so what does that mean-a shorter PJ show? Not to mention only one show each place in a stadium, that's a whole lot of traveling. If someone feels differently, I would love the positive news!

    I dont think Ben Harper is a co-headliner by any means. I think they're just making Liam Finn a first opener, and then Ben Harper and then a full-length PJ show.

    Just my guess - I dont think for a second though its a co-headliner show.
