Pearl Jam Twenty

First big news: PJ will host and headline Alpine Valley during the labor day weekend to celebrate their 20th anniversary. Supporting bands include Mudhoney, Queens Of The Stone Age and The Strokes. This will be followed by an extensive Canadian tour, their first since 2005.

Second big news (and the one that has me reeling with excitement):

PEARL JAM TWENTY FILM BY CAMERON CROWE

Carved from over 1,200 hours of rarely and never-before-seen footage, plus 24 hours of recently shot interview and live footage, Pearl Jam Twenty is the definitive portrait of Pearl Jam as told by award-winning director and music journalist, Cameron Crowe.

PEARL JAM TWENTY SOUNDTRACK

Columbia Records/Sony Music will release the Pearl Jam Twenty soundtrack in conjunction with the film’s theatrical release. Cameron Crowe selected the track listing for the soundtrack -- making the album a true companion piece to the film.

PEARL JAM TWENTY BOOK

Published by Simon & Schuster in the U.S. and Canada and Atlantic Books in the UK, Australia, New Zealand and South Africa, the Pearl Jam Twentybook is an aesthetically stunning, definitive chronicle of the band’s past two decades. The book was compiled and written by veteran music journalist and current "Late Night With Jimmy Fallon" music booker, Jonathan Cohen, with Mark Wilkerson (author of “Who Are You: The Life of Pete Townshend”), designed by Pearl Jam in-house designer Regan Hagar (also the drummer for Brad and Satchel), with a foreword by Cameron Crowe.

More information on the Pearl Jam Twenty film, book and soundtrack will be announced in the coming weeks.
