React / Respond Book


 Pearl Jam announced today that they will be releasing a book of photographs from the Dark Matter tour by in-house photographer, Geoff Whitman.  The 224 page book of 125 photos releases on April 18th, 2026.  You can pre-order the book now for $75 (+ $10 domestic S&H).
Whitman joined the band for this run, starting out by immersing himself in the crowd to capture the shows exactly as fans experienced them—energetic, and in the middle of it all! As the tour moved forward and his relationship with the band developed, he gained further access to backstage and behind-the-scenes moments. Even with that expanded access, Whitman kept the fan perspective at the center of his work, letting it guide how he documented each night.

The photographs in this collection bring those viewpoints together, blending the immediacy of the crowd with a growing look behind the scenes to present a genuine, dynamic record of the Dark Matter tour.
