Temple of the Dog, the grunge-era Seattle supergroup that featured members of Soundgarden and Pearl Jam and scored the hit “Hunger Strike,” is reuniting and going on its first ever tour.

The group, which features Soundgarden’s Chris Cornell; Pearl Jam’s Jeff Ament, Stone Gossard, and Mike McCready; and drummer Matt Cameron (who plays drums with both Soundgarden and Pearl Jam), will play five dates to mark the 25th anniversary of the release of their one album, “Temple of the Dog.”

The Seattle show will be Nov. 20 at the Paramount Theater. The public on-sale date is July 29 (through Ticketmaster), but be warned: Soundgarden, Chris Cornell and Pearl Jam club members get to buy first.

The album will get a deluxe rerelease on Sept. 30.
