The 14-date trek starts June 8 in Albany, N.Y., and hits theaters in Baltimore, Philadelphia, Nashville, Memphis and Atlanta before wrapping up with shows in Maui and Honolulu June 29 - July 2.

Liam Finn, who was the opening act on Vedder's inaugural solo tour last year, will return in that slot.

Vedder last Saturday performed alongside former Beatles Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr at a charity show in New York. He is also on the bill for folk icon Pete Seeger's 90th Birthday Concert at New York's Madison Square Garden on May 3.
