Eddie Vedder’s old band couldn’t quite make it back to Vegas. But his new crew is booked for October. Eddie Vedder and the Earthlings take up Dolby Live at Park MGM on Oct. 7…

Vedder’s original band, Pearl Jam, had been lined up to play MGM Grand Garden on May 20. That show was spiked two days before the performance after bassist Jeff Ament tested positive for COVID-19. That would have been the band’s first show in Vegas in 16 years.

The all-star lineup of the Earthlings have just been recently assembled, having played Vedder’s Ohana Festival in Dana Point, California, in September and shows in February to boost the album “Earthling.”
