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.

    I'd be more concerned if it was TMZ who said it

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

    Agreed on all fronts.

    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
