FLASHBACK: Pearl Jam Rock the Spectrum One Last Time
Pearl Jam will return to Philadelphia later this year, and here at WMMR, we couldn't be more excited.
Pierre Robert announced today that the two shows are set for September 7th and September 9th at the Big Joint (the Wells Fargo Center) in South Philly. Tickets go on sale this Friday, but you need to register ahead of time to secure your seats. You can do so via Ticketmaster's Verified Fan program, which helps to avoid scalpers or resellers bogarting all the tickets for an event or tour. Get more information on how to register HERE so that you can purchase tickets when the on sale date arrives.
On the same day tickets go on sale (2/19) WMMR will launch the Ten Days of Pearl Jam. We'll have a designated song of the day (and a daily cheat sheet here on our site) and the 25th caller at 215-263-WMMR when that song plays will win tickets to see the second Pearl Jam show on September 9th.
Speaking of songs, have you heard the brand new one from Pearl Jam?! Jacky Bam Bam gave it a midnight debut last night, and we'll be playing it all week on air. You can also stream it below. It's called "Dark Matter" and it's the title track from their next album, due out April 19th.

To recap: Tickets on sale this Friday. That same day, we kick off daily giveaways. The album comes out in the spring and the shows will happen in September. Lots to look forward to!
Let's revisit one of our favorite Pearl Jam memories: the legendary Halloween show at the Spectrum. We pulled this photo album out of the MMaRchives from a joyous, sweaty night in 2009, the culmination of four shows with the band to close out this beloved venue. Scroll down to see the band's fantastic Devo costumes.
