The Pearl Jam Experience

The Pearl Jam Experience Announces Ultimate Greatest Hits Tour for New Zealand

Kiwi rock fans are in for the ultimate celebration of grunge history as The Pearl Jam Experience crosses the Tasman to deliver a definitive, career-spanning greatest hits set. This special tour will honour the massive catalog of the Seattle icons, delivering a full-throttle, high-energy performance packed to the brim with Pearl Jam’s biggest anthems and fan favourites

Widely regarded as the premier tribute to Pearl Jam, the band is renowned for recreating the atmosphere, the madness, and most importantly, the sonically accurate music that defined a generation.

Their commitment to the music’s authenticity goes beyond the stage. In a remarkable nod to Pearl Jam’s golden era, the band recently recorded a collaborative cover of the hit song Go with former Pearl Jam drummer Dave Abbruzzese. Abbruzzese, who drove the rhythm section during the band's peak explosive years, lent his signature powerful drumming to the track and mixed it for the group.

The Pearl Jam Experience also maintains a deep connection to the band's philanthropic legacy. They are proud supporters of the EB Research Partnership (EBRP), the largest nonprofit funding research for a cure for Epidermolysis Bullosa (EB), co-founded by Jill and Eddie Vedder.

For New Zealand fans, this is the ultimate chance to experience a high-octane concert that embodies the true sound and spirit of Pearl Jam, delivered with the energy, precision, and respect this legendary rock catalog deserves.
