Refugee 7 Report post Posted March 23, 2008 Pearl Jam will return to the road for the band's first extensive tour in two years when it tackles an early summer run of headlining shows. The outing comes after lead singer Eddie Vedder's first-ever solo trek, which kicks off next month and hits a handful of West Coast venues. Vedder will rejoin his bandmates in time to kick off the outing June 11 in West Palm Beach, FL. The 10-date itinerary includes a June 14 showing in Manchester, TN, where the band will headline the penultimate night of the Bonnaroo music festival. All dates are below; detailed ticket information, including pre-sale dates, can be found on the group's official website. Pearl Jam continues to tour behind its eighth and most recent studio album, a self-titled 2006 release, but the band has reportedly spent time in a recording studio recently to lay groundwork for a possible follow-up. "It doesn't mean there'll be a record our next month, but it's the start of the process. Sometimes it takes six months and sometimes it takes two years," bassist Jeff Ament told Billboard.com recently. "It's just fun to play," he added. "We've actually gotten really good at jamming with each other, so it's fun to get together and crank up the amps. We'll have (drummer) Matt (Cameron) throw a beat at us and try to come up with something. There's some new, different kind of things coming out of people."
