A couple weeks back, we mentioned that Neil Young had announced the dates for the 22nd installment of the Bridge School Benefit. Now, we’ve got a line-up to share. The all-acoustic shows, which will take place at the Shoreline Amphitheater on October 25 and 26, will feature appearances from ZZ Top, Norah Jones, Jack Johnson, Smashing Pumpkins, Cat Power and Josh Groban – as well as sets from the event’s host on each night.
Young is also showing some love to two two openers on his upcoming arena tour inviting both Wilco and DC4C to perform.
If you can’t make it out West for the shows, then maybe you can make it to one these recently announced tours…
- Amanda Palmer of the Dresdan Dolls heads out in support of her solo debut (begins: 09/27)
- Electro-dance-duo MSTRKRFT line up a N.A. run (begins: 09/26)
- Pearl Jam guitarist Stone Gossard will play a handful of rare solo shows (begins: 10/01)
- Trash-rockers Eagles Of Death Metal hit the club circuit (begins: 10/30)
- MMW reveal the second leg of their Radilarian Series tour (begins: 09/20)
- Amy Ray of Indigo Girls fame heads out for a lengthy solo run (begins: 10/19)
Finally, we’ve got some unfortunate news for those of you who we’re hoping to head to Amsterdam for the 2009 installment of Jam In The Dam. Due to the current health condition of event founder Armand Sadlier – who is in need of a double lung transplant – organizers posted a message on their website announcing that there won’t be a Jam In The Dam next year. The message went on to say that the event will be back in 2010 for their 5th anniversary. We send our best wishes to Mr. Sadlier for a full recovery.
