The annual ‘Above Ground‘ benefit concert will be back for its fourth year later this month. Booked for October 26th at The Fonda Theatre in Hollywood, CA, this year’s event was originally intended to take place in the opening months of 2025, but was rescheduled due to the Californian wildfires. Dave Navarro (ex-Jane’s Addiction) and Billy Morrison (Billy Idol) help spearhead that charity event, which will raise funds for mental health awareness and suicide prevention.
This year’s rescheduled concert will still feature all-star performances of the self-titled debut albums from New York Dolls and The Cars, but there have been some changes to the original roster. Thus far, confirmed performers include:
Corey Taylor (Slipknot)
Billy Idol
Elliot Easton (The Cars, Billy Idol)
Josh Freese (Nine Inch Nails, A Perfect Circle)
Moby
Nuno Bettencourt (Extreme)
Steve Stevens (Billy Idol)
Cypress Hill
Further roster announcements are pending.
