Band Together Bay Area—a coalition of local business and community leaders formed in response to the deadly North Bay firestorm to support the local relief and long-term recovery in the region—will stage a benefit concert 11/9 at AT&T Park. Metallica, Dave Matthews and G-Eazy are the first acts to be confirmed for the event, which will be produced by Live Nation and Another Planet Entertainment.
The Band Together Bay Area Benefit Concert will be underwritten by sponsors, with 100% of ticket sales going to the Tipping Point Emergency Relief Fund. The best seats in the stadium, home of the Giants, will be donated to first responders, volunteers and families impacted by the firestorm.
Tickets go on sale this Friday at 10:00 a.m. at bandtogetherbayarea.org and Ticketmaster.com. Prices range from $49.50 to $199.50 plus applicable charges. Ticketmaster will donate all processing fees to the relief effort.
Metallica recorded a video to help promote the concert; watch it on Vimeo.
