The countdown is over and Pearl Jam’s big news does not disappoint. A week after starting a countdown clock on its website, the band revealed today that it’s booked a North American fall tour.

The trek consists of two legs and a total of 24 dates. The first set of dates begins Oct. 11 and includes stops in Pittsburgh, Brooklyn, Philadelphia and Baltimore as well as the band’s previously announced headline appearance at New Orleans’ Voodoo Experience.

Eddie Vedder & Co. return to the road Nov. 15 for another leg of gigs featuring shows in Dallas, Oklahoma City, Los Angeles, Vancouver and Seattle.

Check out the itinerary below. The only fall date you won’t see is Voodoo Experience because the festival hasn’t unveiled the daily schedule for its Nov. 1-3 event at New Orleans City Park.

OKC has been killing it on the concerts as of late. Kudos to the CHK Arena staff for their success in securing shows.

If we can get a decent mid sized venue (I'm looking at you Tower Theatre!) We'd be in business as far as music is concerned.

good to see pearl jam coming to town. there's going to be plenty of detractors saying they're washed up old grungers that don't deserve to play chesapeake arena, but they are a dynamic live band that mixes up their setlists every show.

Agreed adaniel. Here are the upcoming CHK concert dates:

7/23 - Rock for Oklahoma (Kings of Leon, Flaming Lips, Jackson Browne and Built to Spill)
8/3 - MercyMe
8/10 - Bruno Mars with Ellie Goulding
8/21 - Lil Wayne with TI and Future
10/19 - Keith Urban with Little Big Town and Dustin Lynch
11/12 - Rihanna
11/16 - Pearl Jam

Oh and don't forget the 41 games between November and April, not to mention the 10 or so homes games for playoffs each year for one of the best teams in the NBA.
