Pearl Jam once spent nearly two decades between headlining tour stops in Nashville. Not anymore, y’all. The beloved rock band returns to Music City for the second time in three years to play a two-night run of shows at Bridgestone Arena. The band last stopped at the arena in 2022, when frontman Eddie Vedder took the stage with a wine bottle in hand, saluting the audience before tearing into a set that included a career-spanning collection of staple songs — “Black,” “Better Man,” “Corduroy,” “Alive,” “Given to Fly” … and the list goes on. This year, Pearl Jam tours in support of 2025’s Dark Matter, the band’s 12th studio release. And you better see ’em while they’re here. After all, who knows how long it may be before Pearl Jam comes to town again. Show up early to catch an opening set from Australian rock band Teen Jesus and the Jean Teasers. MATTHEW LEIMKUEHLER
