Pearl Jam bassist Jeff Ament must have recovered well from last month’s violent mugging in Atlanta because the band is set to perform on the first episode of The Tonight Show with Conan O’Brien on June 1. EW reports that Will Ferrell will also be a guest for Conan’s highly anticipated premiere.
It will be interesting to see if Pearl Jam performs new material on the show, as they have been recording a new album (at the Atlanta studio where the mugging occurred) with their other favorite O’Brien, producer Brendan O’Brien.
Jay Leno’s final bow on The Tonight Show is on May 29th with successor Conan O’Brien as his guest and a performance by Prince.
