Pearl Jam NZ tour: Liam Finn announced as support act for local dates

Alongside Pearl Jam and Finn, alt-rock group the Pixies will also perform as special guests for the New Zealand dates.

They’re not the only dates Finn, 40, will be doing this year.

He joined father Neil Finn’s much-loved band Crowded House in 2020, and the group will be touring New Zealand and Australia in November and December.

Finn released his debut album, I’ll Be Lightning, in 2007 to widespread popularity.

He helmed most of the instruments himself and served as its producer, as he would do on follow-ups FOMO (2011) and The Nihilist (2014). Finn began performing solo in support of the debut, using loop pedals to trigger guitar parts he could sing along to, as well as accompanying himself on drums.
