The third “Above Ground” benefit concert will take place on December 20 at the Fonda Theatre in Hollywood, California. Dave Navarro (guitar, Jane’s Addiction) and Billy Morrison (guitar, Billy Idol) and an all-star band are going to perform in this benefit concert, which will raise funds and awareness in support of mental health. Navarro and Morrison will be joined by a diverse group of special guests, including Billy Idol, Perry Farrell, Etty Lau Farrell, Corey Taylor, Taylor Hawkins, Mark McGrath, Steve Stevens, Franky Perez and others.
As with previous successful events in 2018 and 2019, this immersive evening of art and music with special guests will celebrate the vinyl album as an art form, with the performance of two seminal albums in their entirety, while at the same time raising awareness and funds for the treatment of mental health. Profits from the event will be donated to MusiCares, the leading music charity that acts as a safety net for the music community.
Laura Segura, executive director of MusiCares, said: “We are so grateful for Dave and Billy’s support of MusiCares with this incredible benefit concert, and for their continued support of our mission over the years. The proceeds from this event will help music professionals who need various kinds of support, from physical and mental health, addiction recovery, preventative clinics, and more.”
