Poison's Bret Michaels, Billy Idol, Tommy Shaw from Styx, the Allman Betts Band, and Wynona Judd, among others will be on hand Saturday, January 23rd for the Big Love Benefit Concert to raise money for the Sweet Relief Musicians Fund.

Rolling Stone reported the event will be hosted by Def Leppard drummer Rick Allen and his wife, musician Lauren Monroe, with former Guns N’ Roses drummer Matt Sorum and Myles Kennedy also performing. Appearing in a non-musical capacity will be Sammy Hagar and Chicago.

All proceeds from the show will benefit Sweet Relief via Allen and Monroe’s Raven Drum Foundation Project Resiliency. The Sweet Relief Musicians Fund “provides financial assistance to music industry professionals who are out of work due to COVID-19.”

Rick Allen said in an announcement:

We endeavor on a daily basis, through our music and through our 501C3 Raven Drum Foundation Project Resiliency, to serve, educate and empower people and communities recovering from crisis. We cannot envision a more important and useful way in which to give back than this benefit concert.
