The rain or shine concert is set to take place Sept. 24 at Scott Stadium @ Univ. Of Virginia.

Admission is free, with Charlottesville residents, students, faculty and staff at the University of Virginia, and residents of surrounding counties getting first crack at tickets. Online requests can be sent through ConcertForCharlottesville.com, though a $7.50 handling fee may be charged if you are granted tickets.

Attendees will be encouraged to donate to the Concert for Charlottesville Fund. Beneficiaries of the fund include victims of the events in Charlottesville on Aug. 11-12, first responders and “organizations devoted to the promotion of healing, unity and justice locally and nationwide.”

Cage The Elephant and Brittany Howard of Scott Stadium @ Univ. Of Virginia will also be performing at the event, along with currently unannounced special guests.
