The event is called Above Ground and serves as a benefit to the Recording Academy's Musicares Foundation.
"After losing too many friends to suicide and depression, and having suffered personally with a wide range of mental health issues, we want to raise awareness and funds for the treatment of mental health," says Billy Morrison, guitarist for Billy Idol. “Spread the word that it's okay to ask for help."
Above Ground will be held at Los Angeles' Belasco Theatre on April 16 and tickets will go on pre-sale on February 22 at 10 in the morning and on sale to the public on February 24.
