Usage of “hier” to convey “yesterday” as in “I need this report yesterday”

No, amenez-les pour un concert hier is not idiomatic and would be puzzling.

That doesn’t mean hier is never used with such a meaning. For example, to the question

Quand voulez-vous que les rapports soient rendus ? (When would you like the reports to be delivered?)

the answer might be:

Il me les faudrait pour hier ! (I’d need them by yesterday!)
