Pearl Jam is celebrating their 20th anniversary this year, and, to mark the occasion, they’ill take part in the Bridge School Benefit in Mountain View, California, October 23-24. The annual charity concert is organized by Neil Young,
"The only thing we’ve got going on in October is Bridge School, which is really special. So that’s our 20th anniversary, which is fitting. It’s not about us, it about all those kids that are on stage and about Neil Young and his commitment, his influence, " said Stone Gossard, guitarist for Pearl Jam.
This will be the eighth time that the band will perform at the Bridge School Benefit to support the school, which caters for children with severe physical disabilities.
The first of the two concerts will be held at Shoreline Amphitheater the day after the band’s true anniversary, October 22.
Gossard has also confirmed that Pearl Jam is considering a South American tour in 2011.
