Pearl Jam will be returning to Australia for the first time in 5 years this November, along with their very special guests, Kings of Leon.
One of the world’s very best live rock bands, Pearl Jam continue to push and challenge both themselves and all those they reach out to, taking uncompromising political stances whilst rocking out with a classic catalogue of music that continues to grow more than 10 years after they spearheaded Seattle’s grunge rock scene’s grab for world domination.
Joining Pearl Jam on their November dates are those sexy siblings of southern rock from the Followhill clan – Kings Of Leon.
No strangers to Australian audiences after two Big Day Out tours, Nathan, Caleb, Jarred & Matthew will kick the night off with their unique, gritty rock n roll anthems. Think “Black Crowes meet Aerosmith” by way of Lynyrd Skynyrd, UK punk, old school country & blues, add a dash of Velvet Underground, and you’re in the neighbourhood!
Pearl Jam with special guests Kings of Leon – how could you miss it?
TOUR DATES*: Tue 7 Nov - Acer Arena (formerly Sydney SuperDome) Fri 10 Nov - Brisbane Entertainment Centre Mon 13 Nov - Rod Laver Arena at Melbourne Park Tue 21 Nov - Adelaide Entertainment Centre *Ticketek is only selling for the above venues.

Pearl Jam to rock November By JOANNA VAUGHAN 08may06
NOVEMBER is shaping as one of the biggest months in music Adelaide has seen for a long time.
Seattle rockers Pearl Jam yesterday announced they will tour Australia, coming to Adelaide on November 21. The quintet, which released its eighth album two weeks ago, will perform at the Entertainment Centre.
Fans will be pleased to hear Nashville rockers, Kings of Leon, will support Pearl Jam.
Tickets will go on sale on Friday, May 19 through Ticketek.
They are expected to sell fast.
Pearl Jam has played in Adelaide three times since 1991.
The most recent was in February, 2003.
During that tour, the band, with legendary Eddie Vedder as frontman, sold out Melbourne's Rod Laver Arena three times.
Irish humanitarian rock giant U2, which was forced to reschedule its Australian tour in March because of the health of one of the band's family members, also is rumoured to be looking to reschedule.
They also could play here in November. U2 originally was scheduled to play at AAMI Stadium on March 28 in what was to be Adelaide's biggest concert with 60,000 tickets sold.
The international powerhouse has promised it will tour Australia again.
Fans have been asked to hold on to their tickets.
Australia's big act, Kylie Minogue, also was to reschedule her Showgirls Tour after she was diagnosed with breast cancer last May. With the good health reports and more glowing public appearances, there are rumours that Kylie could be planning to reschedule her cancelled shows for a date in November.

woop! i got my tickets today! woop woop! hehehehe it's so lame but i got really paranoid that they'd sell out like the U2 tickets did when they went on sale and i've missed so many gigs this year from them selling out too fast so i conned my sister into joining the pearl jam fan club so we could get in on the presales. muahahahaha i feel so safe now.

I just got an email from ticketek, pre sale starts wed for ticketek memebers. I guess pearl jam had their own fan club pre sale. IWonder if they'll be any tickets left?? Tickets are $99 for sydney. I wish they'd hurry up and announce if kol are doing their own shows.
