Tickets for two recently-added Pearl Jam performances-an Oct. 30 show at the Sacramento Valley Amphitheatre in Marysville, Calif., and a Nov. 2 gig at the Rose Garden in Portland--are scheduled to go on sale Saturday at 10a.m. Pacific Time. Supergrass opens on both dates.

The Pearl Jam tour is expected to end with Nov. 4 and 5 shows at Seattle’s Key Arena. Seattle radio station 107.7 The End plans to announce details about the shows-including ticket on-sale information-next Thursday morning (8/31).

Evidently finding it hard to say goodbye, KISS has added a dozen new stops to its “farewell” tour. The new dates bring the tour well into October, and put to rest speculation that the band would end its touring career with multiple dates at Madison Square Garden in September.

Friday (8/25) on-sales are newly announced shows in the Carolinas; on-sales for Columbus, Ohio, Chicago, Champaign, Ill., D.C., and Philadelphia are among those set for Saturday (8/26).

Though the Madison Square Garden bill featuring the Who and the Jimmy Page-Black Crowes pairing is technically sold out on all four nights, "a limited number of great seats" will go on sale for each show on Friday (8/25) at 9a.m. ET, according to Pete Townshend's official website. According to the site, the extra seats were freed up at the New York venue due to production changes.

The habitually late should avoid the shows, which are set to take place on Oct. 3, 4, 6 and 7. Ticket holders will not be allowed into the venue after 7:30p.m. because "these special concerts are conceived by both acts as a complete musical experience from beginning to end," according to the tour's publicist.

Several Sunny Day Real Estate on-sales are set for the weekend. Friday (8/25) on-sales are planned for the tour’s Nashville stop, a Saturday (8/26) on-sale is set for the Los Angeles stop, and on-sales in Las Vegas and Pomona, Calif., began on Thursday (8/24). Tickets for the enigmatic Seattle rock band’s Sept. 27 performance at the Crest Theatre in Sacramento, Calif., are set to go on sale through Bass ticket outlets on Friday (8/25).

Juliana Hatfield-who thumbed her nose at conventional wisdom by releasing the new CDs “Beautiful Creature” and “Total System Failure” simultaneously in May-is scheduled to play a one-off gig at the Roxy in her hometown of Boston on Sept. 27. Tickets go on sale Friday (8/25) at 10a.m. Eastern Time.
