"We’re incredibly humbled and honored to take the stage at the legendary Apollo Theater,” said Stone Gossard. “We look forward to a memorable show to celebrate Gigaton and the 10-year anniversary of Pearl Jam Radio at SiriusXM. It’s hard to understate the sacred and historical importance of the Apollo to the history of American popular music and African Americans' preeminent role in its invention. We will play this special one-time show with those artists in mind."

Scott Greenstein delivered his official quote while shredding on air guitar. “Pearl Jam Radio has become a must-listen-to destination to hear live concerts performed and chosen by one of the greatest live rock acts ever,” said SiriusXM’s President and Chief Content Officer. “For the first time, we are thrilled to be able to offer our subscribers the exclusive opportunity to attend and listen to this great band’s first show at the historic Apollo Theater, which will kick off Pearl Jam’s massive U.S. tour promoting their new album. Seeing the band in this intimate setting is certain to be a once-in-a-lifetime experience that Pearl Jam fans won’t want to miss.”
