That all-star band includes Billy Idol, Perry Farrell, Wayne Kramer (MC5), longtime Billy Idol guitarist Steve Stevens. Cult guitarist Billy Duffy, Steve Vai, Gavin Rossdale, Juliette Lewis, Bowie collaborator Mike Garson (who was in Spiders from Mars), and more.

Tickets are on sale and proceeds go to Recording Academy’s nonprofit MusiCares charity.
