It turns out the big Pearl Jam surprise wasn’t an ACL confirmation, but rather the announcement of a ten date East Coast tour.

Pearl Jam announced today a ten date East Coast tour, which begins June 11th in West Palm Beach, FL and wraps up June 30th in Mansfield, MA.

Tickets sold to the general public will go on sale through Ticketmaster.com and all Ticketmaster outlets. Public on-sale information will be posted on pearljam.com in the near future.

Full list of dates after the jump. As for openers, you ask? Kings of Leon and Ted Leo will be splitting those duties.

Member of Pearl Jam’s 10 Club can purchase pre-sale tickets beginning Monday, March 24.

Perhaps this means we’ll also be seeing Kings of Leon at this year’s Bonnaroo?
