Peal Jam Lives Again

MEET RIOT ACT

Riot Act is more than a tribute — we’re a full-scale celebration of Pearl Jam’s legendary sound, energy and impact.

Born from a shared passion for one of the most influential rock bands in history, our mission is simple: bring the authentic Pearl Jam live experience to fans across Australia.

Our Story

Formed by a group of seasoned Queensland musicians, Riot Act was created to honour the timeless music of Pearl Jam — and deliver it live with intensity, soul and precision. With decades of collective performance experience, we’ve captured the rawness and emotion that made Pearl Jam a global phenomenon in the '90s and beyond.

Whether it’s Alive, Even Flow, or deep cuts like Immortality, we pour our hearts into every riff, beat and lyric — just like the original band.
