TV cooking queen Rachael Ray is making her annual presence at South By Southwest bigger and better this year. And public.

Ray's third annual Feedback Festival, slated for March 20, is moving to its largest venue yet -- Stubb's BBQ -- with 18 bands playing four stages; Daytrotter.com will be recording performances on one of them. The show, co-sponsored by Mr. & Mrs. T drink mix maker, will be free and open to the public for the first time, and the bash will be filmed for subsequent airing on Ray's syndicated TV show.

Before they head off to Europe in June, Pearl Jam will augment its support of recent album "Backspacer" with a short run of dates in the midwest and East coast beginning in early May and finishing up with a two-nighter at New York's Madison Square Garden on May 20 and 21.

The new U.S. dates, announced at PearlJam.com today, come as the veteran Seattle rockers prep to be the musical guest on Saturday Night Live this week (March 13). As previously reported, Pearl Jam will also be playing at the New Orleans Jazz Festival on May 1. The band heads to Europe for a run of dates kicking off June 22 in Dublin and ending in Oeiras, Portugal on July 10.
