tickets on sale for blink-182's intimate benefit shows; DIIV added to MHOW

Blink-182

Tickets are going on presale today for blink-182‘s intimate benefit shows happening in the NYC-area before the Riot Fests.

The most intimate one happens in Brooklyn on September 11 at Music Hall of Williamsburg, and tickets for that one go on AmEx presale today at noon. All proceeds will benefit “burn treatment centers, plus research and treatment for cancer, diabetes and other life-threatening diseases.” And since we last spoke, Brooklyn indie rockers DIIV were added to this one.

And tickets for their larger (but still small for their standards) show in NJ at Starland Ballroom (9/10) go on AmEx presale today at 9 AM. Proceeds from this one will support “Sandy Relief as well as cancer and diabetes research and treatment.” You may remember that Starland Ballroom recently reopened after facing damages from Sandy.
