Sleater-Kinney to Support Pearl Jam on Tour

According to their official website, the Northwest rockers will launch their next touring schedule with a one-off show opening for the White Stripes in their native Washington at the Gorge, before heading over to Europe for a handful of dates, including stops at both the Reading and Leeds Festivals.

The hyphenated trio will then head back to North America for Arthurfest before setting off as openers for none other than Pearl Jam. This might sound like an odd pairing, but we'll remind you that the bands previously toured together on PJ's 2003 trek. Class reunion:
