In an unforgettable holiday spectacle, some of the biggest names in rock and pop converged for a one‑night‑only concert at the Capitol Theatre in Port Chester, New York, on December 11, 2025. The occasion was the annual holiday party thrown by Eldridge Industries chairman Todd Boehly, but the lineup looked more like a private music festival than a corporate gathering.
Headlining the event was Slash, backed by an all‑star house band dubbed The Dirty Bats. The group featured Guns N’ Roses bassist Duff McKagan, Red Hot Chili Peppers drummer Chad Smith, and producer‑guitarist Andrew Watt, creating a formidable musical backbone that set the tone for the night.
A rotating cast of guest vocalists took the stage with The Dirty Bats, including Eddie Vedder, Bruno Mars, Anthony Kiedis, Brandi Carlile, and YUNGBLUD. Each performer brought their own flavor to the mix: Vedder delivered Pearl Jam classics and punk‑tinged covers, Kiedis tackled Motorhead and Stooges favorites, and Mars offered a surprising turn on rock staples like Nirvana’s “Smells Like Teen Spirit.” The setlist wove through hard rock, alternative, and pop‑infused moments, showcasing the broad musical talents gathered for the event.
What made the night extraordinary wasn’t just the pedigree of performers, but the range of material. From Black Sabbath and Led Zeppelin to The Police and Chuck Berry, the concert was a celebration of rock history filtered through the voices of acclaimed artists. The evening closed with a rousing ensemble performance that had all the performers sharing the stage.
Though the concert was a private corporate event, it left a public buzz due to its outrageous lineup and once‑in‑a‑lifetime collaborations, blending musical legends with contemporary stars for a holiday party unlike any other.
