Who’s Farewell Tour Hits Los Angeles
On September 22, 2025, the iconic rock trio The Who took the stage at the Hollywood Bowl for what many fans are calling the final leg of their farewell tour. Among the sea of longtime fans, two unexpected faces stood out: Pearl Jam frontman Eddie Vedder and cult‑movie actor Corey Feldman. Both were spotted in a low‑key section, cheering loudly as the band ripped through classics like "Baba O’Riley" and "Behind Blue Eyes".
Vedder’s appearance sparked a flurry of social‑media posts, with fans noting his laid‑back vibe and the camaraderie he seemed to share with Feldman. The surprise cameo came just days before Vedder is set to headline the Ohana Festival on September 26, where he will perform with his side project The Earthlings—a lineup that promises a mix of grunge‑era power and acoustic subtleties.
What’s Next for Vedder and the Backyard Concert
Beyond the festival, Vedder is slated to join The Who once more at their final U.S. appearance: the Backyard Concert 2025, scheduled for October 3 in Pacific Palisades. The event marks the 10th anniversary of the annual fundraiser, which this year supports Teen Cancer America, UCLA Health, autism‑focused programs, and communities still reeling from the 2025 wildfires.
The Backyard Concert will feature an all‑star roster:
- John Fogerty
- Def Leppard
- The Doobie Brothers
- Peter Frampton
- Cheap Trick
- Joe Bonamassa
Comedian Judd Apatow is confirmed as the host, promising a night of music, humor, and heartfelt fundraising moments. Organizers say the concert will blend nostalgic rock anthems with contemporary acts, creating a bridge between generations of fans.
For Vedder, the packed schedule underscores his relentless touring energy. After the Ohana Festival, he’ll hop back to California to take the stage alongside The Who, honoring the band’s legacy while also championing charitable causes close to his heart.
Industry insiders note that the overlapping dates could boost ticket sales for both events, as fans eager to see Vedder in two distinct settings will likely attend both. The synergy between a high‑profile farewell tour and a charity‑driven concert could set a new benchmark for how legacy acts leverage their final runs to give back.
