Live Nation is using the Waterfront Music Pavilion name until a new naming rights partner is found. The naming rights agreement has expired between Live Nation and Truist, the Charlotte, N.C., holding company that formed when BB&T and SunTrust banks merged in 2019. The 25,000-capacity venue, which was founded in 1994, has also variously been known as the Blockbuster-Sony Music Entertainment Centre, the Tweeter Center at the Waterfront, and the Susquehanna Bank Center. Since when is it called the Waterfront Music Pavilion, you might ask? That’s the temporary new name of the Camden venue known as the BB&T Pavilion in recent years. He performed a handful of dates in support of the album backed by a band that included Irish songwriter Glen Hansard, bassist Pino Palladino, and Josh Klinghoffer, who is a touring member of Pearl Jam. Last month, Vedder released Earthling, his third solo album, which includes guest appearances by Elton John, Stevie Wonder, and Ringo Starr. In 2016, the band played its 1991 breakout album Ten in its entirety to celebrate its 10th sellout show in South Philly, and in 2020, the band released a video of that show on Philly-founded streaming platform as a fund-raiser for its PJ Votes voter-mobilization drive. Dobbs on South Street and the Trocadero in Chinatown, two dates at the Borgata in Atlantic City in 2005, four shows at the Spectrum in 2009 that were the final performances at the since-demolished sports arena, and the inaugural Made in America festival in 2012. The grunge survivors have played 25 shows in the region, including early 1990s shows at J.C. Pearl Jam has a long history in the Philly market. Most of the shows on the band’s 2022 tour, which kicks off May 3 in San Diego, were originally scheduled for 2020, but there was no Philadelphia-area stop. The show is in support of Gigaton, the band’s 11th studio album, which was released in March 2020 at the start of the pandemic. The long-standing Eddie Vedder-led Seattle rock band will play the Waterfront Music Pavilion on the New Jersey side of the Delaware River in September.
