Eddie Vedder (do I really need to mention he’s the frontman for Pearl Jam?) will embark on an 11-day solo tour of the U.S. — though unfortunately the closest he’s going to get to the Lower Hudson Valley is Albany…

The tour begins June 8 and ends July 2. New Zealand singer-songwriter Liam Finn will open these shows. He’s the same lucky duck who got to open for Vedder during the 2008 solo tour.

General public tickets for most dates go on sale April 18, with the exception of the Baltimore dates, which go on sale April 17. Tickets are available through Ticketmaster. (You know that’s gotta eat Eddie up. It eats me up.)
