Outside of PJ’s headlining sets, there were plenty of other bands on the bill, giving plenty of time for collaborations such as Homme (Queens of the Stone Age) augmenting The Strokes for New York City Cops, Casablancas guesting with QOTSA for Sick Sick Sick and Vedder sitting in with the Queens on cowbell for Little Sister. Eddie also lent his voice to The Strokes on a fierce version of Juicebox on Night One.
