When you think of music out of Seattle, you think Nirvana, Soundgarden, Jimi Hendrix, and Pearl Jam.
The latter band, Pearl Jam, announced on Twitter this morning that they’ve been working on their eleventh album, Gigaton, which is set to release on March 27.
The band will be promoting the album by hitting the road for a 16-date North American tour. Some fans were aggravated to find out that the band will apparently not be stopping in Seattle.
Announcing Gigaton: A new album and tour coming Spring 2020!

First thought: “I’m so freakin’ excited!”
Second Thought: “How the hell does Pearl Jam do a tour without coming up to either Seattle or Portland??” https://t.co/SSTi26v7Aj

While Seattleites think that they can drive in the snow: poll wait for the possible addition of a second leg of the tour, they will just have to be content with the fact that they were included as one of the cities with an interactive billboard.
