Ted Leo and the Pharmacists will be sharing the stage with Pearl Jam for a handful of summer concerts. Leo's crew will open for Eddie Vedder and Co. for six shows in June, two of them at New York City’s Madison Square Garden. Such behemoth venues are unusual for Leo and his bandmates, but not unheard of. While the band may be better known for its intimate club performances, the Pharmacists also did a two-month tour stint with Death Cab for Cutie in 2006.

In the meantime, Leo will be heading to Europe in April for a string of solo performances. He gave us a friendly e-mail earlier this month to let us know that he was working on new material. His tentative plan is to begin recording this spring, and release the new album sometime in the fall.

Pearl Jam’s Vedder has also had a banner year as a solo artist. After garnering a Golden Globe win and Grammy nomination for scoring the Into the Wild soundtrack, he announced seven upcoming solo performances in Vancouver and California.

Dates:

June
19 - Camden, N.J. @ Susquehanna Bank Center
22 - Washington, D.C. @ Verizon Center
24 - New York, N.Y. @ Madison Square Garden
25 - New York, N.Y. @ Madison Square Garden
27 - Hartford, Conn. @ Dodge Amphitheater
30 - Mansfield, Mass. @ Tweeter Center
