Jack White Teams Up With Eddie Vedder for a Surprise Tokyo Performance

In an unforgettable moment for fans, Jack White welcomed Eddie Vedder in Tokyo for a thrilling encore performance of "Rockin' in the Free World."

A Surprise Collaboration in Tokyo

Fans attending Jack White's concert at Toyosu PIT in Tokyo on March 15 were in for a delightful surprise when the former White Stripes frontman invited Pearl Jam's Eddie Vedder on stage. Together, they delivered an electrifying cover of Neil Young's iconic song, "Rockin' in the Free World," during the encore. It's moments like these that remind us how music can bring artists together, creating magic on stage.

The partnership wasn't entirely out of the blue, as White recently performed the same song during the 50th anniversary music special of Saturday Night Live at Radio City Music Hall in New York. Their spontaneous collaboration adds another layer to the rich history between the two rock legends. Jack White had previously hosted a secret Pearl Jam performance at his Third Man Records facility in Nashville back in 2016, where he joined Vedder and the band to play the unreleased fan favorite, "Of the Earth."

Upcoming Shows for Jack White and Pearl Jam

After this surprise performance, Jack White has one more show scheduled on Monday in Tokyo before taking a brief hiatus. Fans are eagerly anticipating his North American tour kickoff on April 3 in St. Louis, where he's set to bring his unique sound and electrifying performances to a broader audience.

Meanwhile, Pearl Jam is gearing up for their own U.S. tour, set to launch on April 24 in Hollywood, Florida. With both artists on the road, it's an exciting time for rock music enthusiasts.
