The Pearl Jam 2012 Tour was a concert tour by the American rock band Pearl Jam. The first leg of the tour consisted of thirteen shows in Europe, including a headlining appearance at the Isle of Wight Festival. American punk band X were the opening band for the arena shows. Due to high ticket demand for pre-sale tickets, the third-party website handling the sale had to be taken offline. The Pearl Jam fanclub cited "an act of sabotage" to the site. For the second show at the Ziggo Dome in Amsterdam, a fan of the band created the setlist.
In May 2012, Pearl Jam announced they were playing three festival dates in the US, including a headlining slot at Jay-Z's Made in America Music Festival. In June 2012, the band announced they would be playing at the Adams Centre in Missoula, Montana. This was scheduled to be the band's only non-festival show in the United States in 2012.
At the Made in America Festival, Pearl Jam were joined onstage by Jay Z to perform the song "99 Problems". For their appearance at Made in America, the band earned $2 million. Some of the footage of Pearl Jam's set featured in the 2013 documentary film Made in America, directed by Ron Howard.
Opening acts X (excluding festivals) Mudhoney (Missoula only)
