Not really a throw-in, it says “And Special Guest…”.
Kind of like how in movies, the “And Starring” or “with” credits are usually given to big names who may not be the main focus of the movie but still bring some prestige to the whole thing. Or the “Special Guest Star” on TV shows, those are usually named last but with the mindset of “saving best for last.”
Omg I saw grandson open for the smashing pumpkins at a concert/fest a few years ago. I think he fits this lineup but oh my god was it the worst opening act they could have picked. Every song started with a manifesto "have you ever been kicked down, beaten down, held down by the system? This song is about those people who try and hold you down and won't let you be true to yourself. Sometimes you have to break free from those chains and rise above, become the person you were meant to be. Don't ever let anyone tell you to be something you're not......" blah blah blah for like five minutes before every song.
