Live Nation is good at keeping secrets.

The music concert promoter surprised Cannes Lions attendees by flying down former Pearl Jam lead singer Eddie Vedder, who pumped out a string of 90s-vintage hits for the Cannes Lions branding partners.

Vedder had the crowd jumping at Villa Alang Alang, a sprawling mansion in the hills above Cannes.

Guests rocking out included Pop star Nick Jonas, One Republic’s Ryan Tedder and Michael Yormark, president of Roc Nation.

Last year, Live Nation brought Dave Grohl, who mellowed the crowd with an acoustic set.

    It's the fucking NYP. The authors write most of those shitty online articles completely off the tops of their heads, clearly. This one happens to not know that Pearl Jam is still a band, lol.

    Me too, because TMZ is way better informed and more accurate than the NYP is. That is actually a strong point for TMZ.

    The passion of PF fans is astounding. I am sure she is regretting the former word, or is it the senior editor to blame?
    Pretty sure their office was not ready for the error backlash. Ha, ha

    I'm just as confused about this. 

    How in the world does anyone print that Eddie Vedder was the lead singer of Pearl Jam?

    kellyslater Amongst 200 people at a private estate on a hillside above the French Riviera listening to #EddieVedder and #GlenHansard just after sunset on the #SummerSolstice2017 is a pretty good way to spend an evening, I'd say. Sounds more like a hypothetical (and a run-on sentence) than my past few hours. We were supposed to go see #ChakaKhan just before that but I think that would've officially been overload. Thanks, gentlemen. #ShakaCannes!

    A man who is no more beholden in his fifties to the views he held in his twenties than you or I. I look at things differently now than I did then. Why shouldn't Ed?
