Pearl Jam and Tom Petty have extended their run of co-headlining shows with a June 29-30 stand in Milwaukee at Summerfest, an annual 11-day event also featuring such acts as Nine Inch Nails and Mary J. Blige. A special presale for the Marcus Amphitheater event is underway now for members of Pearl Jam's Ten Club fan organization. The cost is $203 for a pair of tickets for each night. Both bands are expected to play full sets as part of the bill, which will also visit St. Paul, Minn., on June 26-27 and Denver on July 2-3. Pearl Jam's summer tour begins May 9 in Toronto. "It's in the middle of the whole tour, so we'll get to go out and change it up a little bit," Pearl Jam bassist Jeff Ament told Billboard.com of the Petty dates. "We love Tom and his band. It will be a cool, special show for people." As for Petty, the only other dates currently on his summer schedule are a June 10 show in Bristow, Va., with Trey Anastasio and a June 16 appearance at the annual Bonnaroo festival in Manchester, Tenn. Petty's manager has previously said his client would be playing shows this summer with John Mayer and the Strokes, but those have yet to be announced. Reuters/Billboard
