Craig Finn, Matthew Caws (Nada Surf), Lenny Kaye (Patti Smith Group), Lee Ranaldo (Sonic Youth), Lloyd Cole, Hamilton Leithauser, Charles Bissell (The Wrens), Nicole Atkins, Ted Leo, Syd Straw, Richie Birkenhead (Into Another/Youth Of Today), actor/musician Michael Shannon and many more artists will be performing at a benefit show at Queens’ Knockdown Center on September 28. The event is called “Flip These Houses” that celebrates “Protest Songs, Political Music, and Unity through Song.” Tickets are on sale now and net proceeds will benefit Power To The Polls and “select grassroots groups who are helping to win the Congress back from Republican leadership.” Here’s the full statement on the benefit:

President Donald Trump, the Trump administration, and “Trump-ism” as defined by the Presidents words, tweets, and policies, is an existential threat to the nation and to Western democracy as a whole. This concert is a call to all citizens to vote for the opposition party in the November 2018 elections. (Democrats and Independents who caucus with Democrats), and to raise awareness and funds to help win our country back from those who will let it’s legacy be destroyed.

While more artists are still being added, the current list of participating performers is below.

UPDATE 2: Lloyd Cole’s listing was the result of a misunderstanding; he is not performing.
