In support of Gigaton, Pearl Jam will also embark on their first leg of North American tour dates in March and April. When the filter is applied to the billboard images, it animates the image while also playing a short snippet of music. In a clever augmented reality rollout, the group began teasing the album by first releasing a special Instagram filter (titled Gigaton) and revealing co-ordinates to billboards depicting the album artwork in select cities around the world.

Taken in Svalbard, Norway, this image features the Nordaustlandet ice cap gushing high volumes of meltwater. Gigaton’s cover features Canadian photographer, filmmaker, and marine biologist Paul Nicklen’s photo Ice Waterfall. The searing track was recorded in Seattle in February of 2018 and was co-produced by the band and Brendan O’Brien (Bruce Springsteen, AC/DC, Rage Against The Machine, Neil Young). The song – which was first released as a surprise early download to members of the band’s Ten Club via Monkeywrench Records/Republic Records – was confirmed as being taken from their next album. In 2018, Pearl Jam released a new track Can’t Deny Me. Collaborating with my bandmates on Gigaton ultimately gave me greater love, awareness and knowledge of the need for human connection in these times.' It was emotionally dark and confusing at times, but also an exciting and experimental road map to musical redemption. Speaking about the record, guitarist Mike McCready said: “Making this record was a long journey. An official press release stated that the album’s first single Dance Of The Clairvoyants “will be released in the coming weeks”. Gigaton is available for pre-order now via the band's website. Internationally, the album will be released and distributed by Universal Music Group. Christened Gigaton, the record was produced by Josh Evans and the group and will be released via Monkeywrench Records/ Republic Records on Main the US. Pearl Jam have unveiled details of their long-awaited eleventh studio album.
