Eddie Vedder watched Keanu Reeves’ band Dogstar perform at the Ohana Festival on Friday ahead of Pearl Jam’s headlining set, and he looked like he was fanboying like everybody else!
Anyone else catch Ed at the end of Dogstars set?

Pearl Jam recently entered the lineup on LIVE75 as the concert headliner with the highest-ranked debut of the week. It has come to light that the ticket sales from four shows at three venues on the recent U.S. leg of the band’s “Dark Matter World Tour” earn the No. 2 ranking on the chart based on a sold-ticket average of 32,983 per show. Together, all four of the concerts logged a total of 131,933 sold tickets for a combined box-office haul topping $19.9 million.

Among the four shows are two of the tour’s three stadium dates that were booked stateside during August and September. It commenced with an August 22nd performance at Washington-Grizzly Stadium at the University of Montana in Missoula. The sold-out concert kicked off the group’s brief 11-show trek through the U.S. and drew 25,326 fans, grossing $3.9 million.
Then, the sole amphitheater date on the tour followed on August 26th at Ruoff Music Center in the Indianapolis market with 24,697 tickets sold for a gross of $2.3 million. Finally, the band’s two-night run at Chicago’s Wrigley Field, August 29th and 31st, moved 81,910 tickets over both nights and produced a gross of $13.7 million.
September performances on the “Dark Matter” trek included a two-show stint in New York City at Madison Square Garden, two concerts at Philadelphia’s Wells Fargo Center, and a performance at CFG Bank Arena in Baltimore. The last stadium on the American tour was Boston’s Fenway Park which hosted Pearl Jam on September 15th and 17th.
Meanwhile, Bruno Mars hangs on to the No. 1 ranking on LIVE75 for a fourth consecutive week based on his three sold-out concerts in Mexico City at Estado GNP Seguros on August 8th, 10th and 11th. Those show dates land in the chart’s eligibility period for a final week, again earning the singer the highest ranking.
However, for the first time during the past four weeks, he scores “Heavy Hitter” status as the touring artist with the highest gross average per show among the 75 concert headliners on the chart.
