Pearl Jam has announced their first performance since longtime drummer Matt Cameron's departure, with a scheduled appearance at the 2026 Ohana Festival. The festival is slated to take place from September 25-27 in Dana Point, California.
This marks the 10th anniversary edition of the event, which was founded by Pearl Jam's singer Eddie Vedder. Alongside Pearl Jam and Eddie Vedder and Friends, the lineup boasts an array of artists including Mexican rock band Maná, Tyler Childers, Alabama Shakes, Fontaines D.C., Billy Idol, Pixies, and the reunited Sugar.
Last July, the band confirmed Cameron's exit after more than two decades. Cameron, who previously drummed for Soundgarden, expressed gratitude for his 27 years with Pearl Jam, calling it the "opportunity of a lifetime." The festival, held on Doheny State Beach, will feature over 30 bands across three stages, with ticket pre-sales beginning soon for dedicated fans.
