Eddie Vedder Headed Back On Tour
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 kicks off the new outing on August 1st in Boston.
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 #11 on the Billboard 200 album chart, selling about 39,000 copies during its first week of release.
Here’s his tour schedule as it stands right now:
