The dream Pearl Jam NZ setlist according to Kiwi fans

What’ll Vedder have up his sleeve for us?

Pearl Jam is in the country and gearing up to hit Auckland’s Go Media Stadium for two huge gigs this weekend.

And while we’ve got everything you need to know about their upcoming shows, one of the most exciting things about Pearl Jam’s concerts is that you can never quite predict the setlist.

The legendary frontman Eddie Vedder is known for mixing things up and customising each night, selecting songs from the band’s entire catalogue.

So, while we don’t know exactly what he’ll pick for Pearl Jam’s New Zealand shows, we asked you, New Zealand's biggest Pearl Jam fans, to share the ideal Kiwi set list, and it’s a right beauty of a lineup.

We’ve taken your suggestions and cross-referenced them against Pearl Jam's recent shows to build a setlist that’s as close as we can get to the real deal.
