All Star Levon Helm Tribute Tickets Go On Sale

A tribute has been planned to honor Levon Helm called “Love For Levon” and will be held on October 3 at the Izod Center in East Rutherford, NJ. The legendary musician and singer/songwriter died earlier this year from throat cancer at the age of 71.

Among the artists scheduled to perform: Gregg Allman, Warren Haynes, John Hiatt, The Levon Helm Band, Mavis Staples, Joe Walsh, Robert Randolph, Patty Griffin, Bruce Hornsby, Jorma Kaukonen, John Mayer, My Morning Jacket, Eric Church, and more performers to be announced.

All of the proceeds of the benefit will go towards his estate so that “his estate may keep the ownership of his home, barn and studio, and to continue The Midnight Ramble Sessions.” Tickets go on sale Wednesday, August 29. Exclusive presale for Citi Card holders starts tomorrow, Friday, August 24.
