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
