Refugee 7 Report post Posted July 5, 2008 Pearl Jam frontman Eddie Vedder has lined up the second solo headlining tour of his career, an eight-city trip kicking off mid-summer. The veteran alt-rocker toured West Coast cities earlier this year in support of his soundtrack album for the Sean Penn-directed "Into the Wild." Vedder, who took home a Golden Globe win for the disc in January, kicks off the new outing Aug. 1 in Boston. Pre-sales for the tour's Boston, New York and Newark, NJ appearances will be available to Pearl Jam's online Ten Club members beginning July 7; pre-sales for the outing's Montreal and Toronto dates begin July 8, while pre-sales for the remaining dates begin July 9. Tickets go on sale to the general public beginning July 11. See Pearl Jam's official website for more information. Penn hand-picked Vedder to create the soundtrack for last year's "Into the Wild," the director's adaptation of the 1996 book of the same name by Jon Krakauer, which tells the story of college graduate Christopher McCandless' ill-fated travels in Alaska. Vedder won a Golden Globe earlier this year for the song "Guaranteed" from the soundtrack album, which debuted last September at No. 11 on the Billboard 200 album chart, selling about 39,000 copies during its first week of release.
