Pearl Jam is kicking off a new week by delivering massive news for fans.

Eddie Vedder and Co. today announced they're releasing a new record called Gigaton, which will be out on March 27 via Monkeywrench/Republic Records. It's their first album since 2013 when they released Lightning Bolt.

“Making this record was a long journey,” said guitarist Mike McCready in a statement accompanying the news. “It was emotionally dark and confusing at times, but also an exciting and experimental road map to musical redemption. Collaborating with my bandmates on Gigaton ultimately gave me greater love, awareness and knowledge of the need for human connection in these times.”

In addition to the new record, the band also confirmed today their plans for a tour which will include shows in North America, Europe and the U.K.
