“This will be an amazing opportunity for fans to see Eddie Vedder in such intimate settings,” RCA Music Group VP of A&R/marketing Matt Shay tells Billboard.com. “Working with Eddie on the music from ‘Into the Wild’ has been an honor, and the tour will be a true highlight for all of us.”
Vedder’s short west-coast swing will begin April 2 in Vancouver, Canada. Liam Finn will be opening for the Pearl Jam frontman.
