It is just us, or have the posters for Pearl Jam’s spring 2016 tour been even better than usual? Things got off to a great start on April 8 and 9 in Florida with watery images by Brad Klausen and Chuck Sperry. On April 18, San Francisco artist Zio Ziegler unveiled his first poster for the band for its show at the Hampton Coliseum. A week-and-a-half later, fans attending the show in Philly on the 29th got a chance to pick up a taxidermy-themed print by Emek. And then on May 1 and 2, those lucky enough to score tickets for Pearl Jam’s return to Madison Square Garden were treated to a gorgeous owl by BioWorkz (aka, Ben Kwok) on the first night and a pair of dancing dragons by David Welker the next. A few more dates in Canada remain, including one tonight, then it’s on to Bonnaroo in June and a couple of ball parks in August, each of which should spur a mini-series of its own. Can’t wait!
