Tickets Onsale Saturday, July 9, 10am
Atlantic City, June 29, 2005 – Borgata Hotel Casino and Spa and Electric Factory Concerts are proud to announce that Pearl Jam will perform two concerts at Borgata on September 30 and October 1, 2005. Tickets for both shows go on sale Saturday, July 9th at 10AM. Indie, punk female trio Sleater-Kinney will open.

Pearl Jam was one of the key groups responsible for popularizing alternative music in the early 90’s. Hailing from Seattle, the band released foot stomping anthems that made them rock legends overnight. Throughout their recording career, Pearl Jam have sold more than 60 million albums worldwide and established a large and loyal fan base. Pearl Jam fuses the riff-heavy stadium rock of the ‘70s with the grit and anger of ‘80s post-punk, without ever neglecting hooks and choruses.

Pearl Jam is Matt Cameron (Drums), Jeff Ament (Bass), Mike McCready (Guitar), Stone Gossard (Guitar), and Eddie Vedder (Vocals/Guitar). The band has shared the stage with The Rolling Stones, The Doors, and The Who and is well known for its energetic, dynamic and varied live performances. In 2000, the band began releasing “official bootlegs” of its live shows in an effort to increase the quality and decrease the price of bootleg CDs; they have sold millions of these official bootlegs to date. Over the past fifteen years, Pearl Jam has released five platinum selling albums and two gold selling studio albums. A much-anticipated new release is due out next year. Tickets for these shows are $50 and $95 and can be secured by calling Ticketmaster at 800.736.1420 or by logging on to ticketmaster.com.
