As expected, Pearl Jam have added a Philadelphia date to their slowly expanding fall itinerary. The band will play the Wachovia Center on October 3, after playing a pair of sold out gigs in Atlantic City the previous two nights. Tickets for the Philly show go on sale Saturday, August 6. Sleater-Kinney will open the show. Pearl Jam will be out on the road quite a bit this fall, spending most of September on a tour of Canada and opening a few concerts for The Rolling Stones.

Jesse McCartney is the latest artist to take part in Clear Channel's stripped series of Internet exclusive live performances.

O.A.R. will release their seventh album, Stories Of A Stranger, on October 4. The lead single, "The Stranger," will go to AAA and Hot AC stations on August 22. "We've got a lot riding on this record," said O.A.R. singer Marc Roberge. "We tend to get pigeon holed as a jam band, a college band or a touring band. We haven't been taken seriously as songwriters and this is our chance to prove that we are first and foremost a Rock & Roll band and our songs have staying power." Stories Of A Stranger was produced by former Talking Heads member Jerry Harrison.
