Pearl Jam to play Wrigley Field

By Miriam Di Nunzio

Pearl Jam has announced it will make a North American tour stop Aug. 20 and 22 at Wrigley Field. The two concerts mark the band’s return to the confines that were not so friendly back in 2013 when their show was delayed for hours by thunderstorms.

The tour officially kicks off in Florida in April. Information about ticket on-sale dates has yet to be announced.

Other 2016 Wrigley Field concerts already announced include Luke Bryan, Billy Joel and James Taylor.
