Pearl Jam going on tour.

"Backspacer" comes out on Sept. 20 and what better way to promote a release than to go out on tour.

• Sept. 21: Seattle (Key Arena)
• Sept. 22: Seattle (Key Arena)
• Sept. 30: Los Angeles (Gibson Amp.)
• Oct. 1: Los Angeles (Gibson Amp.)
• Oct. 6: Los Angeles (Gibson Amp.)
• Oct. 7: Los Angeles (Gibson Amp.)
• Oct. 9: San Diego (Viejas Arena)
• Oct. 28: Philadelphia (Spectrum)
• Oct. 30: Philadelphia (Spectrum)

I'm sure there will be more dates to be announced. Oh and a bit of Pearl Jam trivia: the video for Even Flow was recorded at the Paramount Theater. It's good to be in Seattle.
