NEW YORK, Sept. 4, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Sirius XM Radio (NASDAQ: SIRI) announced today that Pearl Jam members Eddie Vedder, Stone Gossard, Jeff Ament, Mike McCready and Matt Cameron will answer fan questions during an intimate Q&A session with an audience of SiriusXM listeners, moderated by Lightning Bolt producer Brendan O'Brien, as part of the SiriusXM "Town Hall" series.


"SiriusXM's Town Hall with Pearl Jam" will take place on Thursday, October 3 at a secret location in Seattle and will air on Friday, October 11 at 12:00 pm ET via satellite on Pearl Jam Radio, channel 22, and through the SiriusXM Internet Radio App on smartphones and other connected devices, as well as online at siriusxm.com.

The Pearl Jam "Town Hall" will feature the band answering questions about their much-anticipated tenth studio album, Lightning Bolt, which is scheduled to be released on October 15. In addition, the audience attending the "Town Hall" will hear Lightning Bolt in its entirety; this will mark one of the rare first times the new album will be played for anyone in a public setting.

SiriusXM subscribers will have the opportunity to enter the "SiriusXM Pearl Jam Town Hall Sweepstakes" for a chance to attend the event, and may possibly even win a trip for two, including airfare and hotel, in a separate sweepstakes to be announced later.

"We're excited to head into uncharted band territory with our SiriusXM 'Town Hall,'" said Pearl Jam guitarist Stone Gossard. "Since this is one of the first times that any of our fans will have the chance to hear Lightning Bolt, I'm psyched to see how they respond to the new music and to answer some of their questions about the making of the record."

"Pearl Jam and their music have become emblematic of a generation of rock music and have inspired musicians for the past two decades, and they continue to create new music that has intensity and passion," said Scott Greenstein, President and Chief Content Officer, SiriusXM. "This event, broadcast from the band's home town, will offer lucky winners the opportunity to ask questions in person to one of the world's most influential bands. For subscribers nationwide it will be a rare treat to hear directly from the band."

    Hopefully some great questions asked and not cans of corn.
    For example:
    All of those unreleased songs and EV shows behind you Ed, while recording the MYM typing video...can we please have them see the light of day soon?

    Maybe we need a thread of questions to consider and those that are lucky enough to attend take them with them?
  • I hope someone nuts up and takes the band to task for having the unmitigated GALL to put Sleeping By Myself on the album. :lol::lol::lol:
    everybody wants the most they can possibly get

  • Someone needs to ask the band "What is the real story behind Dave A's firing back in 1994?"

    And make sure to end the question with "but we love Matt Cameron. Just want to know."

    You would hear a pin drop!
    Do you know what it's like to fall in the mud and get kicked... in the head... with an iron boot? Of course you don't, no one does. It never happens. Sorry, Ted, that's a dumb question... skip that.

    This contest sounds AWESOME, but it also sounds like an illegal lottery since you must be a paid subscriber to enter. How is that legal? Don't most contests have to claim "no purchase necessary" is order to remain within the letter of the law?

    Being an existing member requires not purchasing anything. Similar to a 10c lottery for a trip to Seattle.

    How much money does Sirius XM give to PJ in order to have an exclusive PJ radio channel and make these kind of events, to which 10C members are left aside? Anyway, time to make a mock email address for another 30-day trial...
