Eddie Vedder teams-up with Kings Of Leon at Lollapalooza

Eddie Vedder made a surprise appearance with Kings Of Leon this evening at Lollapalooza in Chicago.

The Tennessee four-piece drew a particularly large crowd for their set, which they opened with ‘Black Thumbnail’.

With all but one of the band wearing white T shirts, even Caleb’s recently short hair offered little respite from the searing temperatures as he dripped with sweat throughout the show.

Mixing it up with tracks from all three albums, they made their way through ‘Taper Jean Girl’, ‘King Of The Rodeo’, ‘My Party’ and ‘Fans’.

Following a heartfelt rendition of ‘Knocked Up’, the Pearl Jam frontman joined the Followills for the final song of their set ‘Slow Night, So Long’ during which he shared vocals with Caleb.

It was Vedder’s second surprise appearance this weekend. On Friday he joined friend Ben Harper onstage for a cover of Bob Dylan’s ‘Masters Of War’.
