Details for this year’s The Bridge School Benefit have emerged, and music fans should be very excited about this one. The annual show, which will take place this year on October 22nd and 23rd, acts as a fundraiser for The Bridge School, a non-profit organization that aims to provide people with severe speech and physical impairments with the help they need to lead normal and active lives in their communities. Neil Young and his former wife Pegi organize the event each year at Shoreline Amphitheater in Mountain View, CA, and they’ve put together a truly stacked weekend for the event’s 30th anniversary.
Neil Young & Promise Of The Real sit at the top of the card, and they’ll be joined by rock heavyweights Metallica, Roger Waters, and My Morning Jacket. Willie Nelson. Additionally, the festival will see sets from Norah Jones, Cage The Elephant, Nils Lofgren, and case/lang/viers. The shows at The Bridge School Benefit are typically all acoustic sets, so we’ll be interested to see what Metallica has in store for the crowd, and of course we are hoping Roger Waters and MMJ collaborate in some way after their epic joint performance at Newport Folk Festival in 2015.
