Pearl Jam to jam at Bonnaroo, MSG, more this summer

Pearl Jam were mostly inactive in 2007, only playing two shows, but that will change this summer when the band returns to the road for a 10-date tour beginning June 11 in West Palm Beach, Florida. The dates will be highlighted by a co-headlining spot at Tennessee's Bonnaroo Festival in mid-June.



"I'm looking forward to Bonnaroo," bassist Jeff Ament told Billboard. "The thing that's probably the most exciting to me is that we've been a band for 17 or 18 years and there's still things like this that we haven't done."

The trek also includes a June 24-25 stand at New York's Madison Square Garden, which has hosted some of the band's most iconic shows. Kings of Leon will provide support from June 11-17, while Ted Leo and the Pharmacists will open the other dates.

Here are Pearl Jam's tour dates:

6.11: West Palm Beach, FL @ Cruzan Amphitheatre
6.12: Tampa, FL @ St. Pete Times Forum
6.13-15: Manchester, TN (Bonnaroo Festival)
6.16: Columbia, SC @ Colonial Center
6.17: Virginia Beach, VA @ Verizon Wireless Center
6.19: Camden, NJ @ Susquehanna Bank Center
6.22: Washington, DC @ Verizon Center
6.24-25: New York, NY @ Madison Square Garden
6.27: Hartford, CT @ Dodge Music Center
