According to spin.com, during Eddie Vedder‘s Ohana Festival the singer joined rock band The Killers for a duet of Tom Petty’s song “The Waiting.”
“Eddie Vedder joined the Killers on stage at Ohana Festival to cover Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers.”
But the biggest surprise was when The Killers welcomed ex Van Halen and former Montrose singer Sammy Hagar to perform Van Halen’s 1986 hit “Why Can’t This Be Love.”
“And then the Killers brought out Sammy Hagar to cover Van Halen’s ‘Why Can’t This Be Love.”
During their 95 minute set, The Killers also performed the tunes “Mr. Brightside,” “Smile Like You Mean It,” “Somebody Told Me,” “Human,” and “All These Things That I’ve Done.” Other artists that performed on Ohana’s opening day were Japanese Breakfast, Glen Hansard, Father John Misty and Haim.
Also performing at Ohana was The Chicks, The War On Drugs, and Goose. Vedder headlined the festival with his side band the Earthlings, who made their live debut at last year’s Ohana.
Yesterday’s performances featured The Aquadolls, Suki Waterhouse, Rainbow Kitten Surprise, The Pretenders and Foo Fighters headlining and closing out the weekend with their first-ever Ohana performance.
