Seattleites Pearl Jam will add another entry to their voluminous catalog of live albums with the forthcoming set "Live at the Gorge 05/06," which documents three concerts held at the Gorge Amphitheatre in George, WA.
The seven-disc, 76-track collection features material culled from the group's Sept. 1, 2005, and July 22-23, 2006 concerts at the venue. The set is due in stores June 26, and the band's website is currently fielding pre-orders for a limited-edition version of the release.
Organizers for this summer's Rock the Bells festival--which, as previously reported, comprises a July 28 stop at Randall's Island, NY; an Aug. 11 stop in San Bernardino, CA; and an Aug. 18 stop in San Francisco--have added a second day to the New York engagement. A ticket pre-sale for the newly added July 29 New York show launched today (5/2) and runs through 10 p.m. ET tomorrow (5/3), according to the event's website; tickets hit the box office May 4 for the general public.
Both New York shows will feature co-healdiners Rage Against the Machine and Wu-Tang Clan.
Satellite Party , the new group featuring former Jane's Addiction frontman Perry Farrell, has announced plans to release its debut album, "Ultra Payloaded," in "eco-friendly green packaging," according to a press release.
