The Lightning Bolt Tour was a concert tour by the American rock band Pearl Jam to support its tenth album, Lightning Bolt. The tour started with two legs in North America, the first on the East Coast in October 2013, followed by a second leg on the West Coast the following month before finishing in their hometown of Seattle in December.Rolling Stone listed the tour as one of the 19 hottest tours to see in the fall of 2013.
Prior to these shows, the band played two shows in July, one in London, Ontario and the other at Wrigley Field, Chicago. The Chicago show became the fastest concert to sell-out at Wrigley Field. On July 3, 2013, guitarist Stone Gossard said that the Wrigley Field show would be "a special experience". The Wrigley show was interrupted for more than two hours due to the threat of lightning. The band returned onstage around midnight to continue their set, which included two new songs from their tenth studio album Lightning Bolt, before finishing at 2am.
On July 31, 2013, the press announced that the band would play the Big Day Out festival in New Zealand and Australia in January 2014. Following these shows, frontman Eddie Vedder played solo dates in Australia in February.
On December 13, 2013, the band announced an eleven-date European leg starting on June 16 at the Ziggo Dome in Amsterdam and finishing on July 11 at the Milton Keynes Bowl, England. On the next day a second date was added at the Ziggo Dome. On April 22, 2014, Pearl Jam's website announced that the band would play one night of each weekend of the Austin City Limits Music Festival in October. One month later, the band added another ten shows in the American Midwest, also scheduled for October.
