Refunds for tickets can be obtained where they were originally purchased, and the concert will not be rescheduled even though organizers made every possible attempt.

The 90s alternative rock band shared on their Instagram account that they had to cancel their scheduled Pearl Jam concert at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London on Saturday, 29 June, due to band members being unwell.

This choice was not easy for us to make, especially considering that many of you had already made travel arrangements based on the tour dates. Unfortunately, we had to prioritize our current health and prevent any additional harm, leaving us with no other option.

We are truly saddened that we won't be able to perform in one of our beloved cities during this tour. Unfortunately, we were unable to reschedule due to prior commitments in our schedule.

We want to express our heartfelt thanks for your support and offer a heartfelt apology to the amazing Pearl Jam community for any inconvenience and disappointment caused.
