Free tickets to the show will be available only to those in the city who line up at midnight tonight (May 1st) at the downtown Tower Records in Manhattan to purchase the band's new self-titled album, which comes out tomorrow (Tuesday, May 2nd). Pearl Jam will also perform a mini-concert on Thursday (May 4th) at the Ed Sullivan Theatre in Manhattan just after taping an appearance on Late Show With David Letterman there. The concert will be broadcast online at the Late Show website.

Pearl Jam begins a North American tour on May 9th in Toronto, Canada, with dates stretching into late July. Six of its shows, in late June and early July, will be with Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers.
