Money raised by the benefit concert will support United Nations Human Rights climate justice initiatives and a MusiCares climate fund to benefit musicians affected by climate change.
The event, co-hosted by the Recording Academy, is an effort to raise attention to inequalities exacerbated by climate change. The Fillmore announced the appearance Thursday on X, formerly Twitter.
“Just Announced: GREEN DAY takes the stage at The Fillmore on Tuesday, April 2nd for a special show benefiting the @rhrn_climate! Tickets go on sale tomorrow, March 29th at 12PM noon at the link in our bio,” The FIllmore posted.
Tickets for the event will become available for purchase on Friday at 12 p.m. PDT via Live Nation.com, according to The Fillmore.
Rhrn_climate is the X handle for Right Here, Right Now Global Climate Alliance. The Right Here, Right Now Global Climate Alliance will honor Green Day for their “commitment to social justice and environmental causes,” The Associated Press said.
“As world renowned artists and activists, Green Day continues to leverage its major influence and platform to bring awareness to the impact of climate change on the people and the environment,” Volker Türk, the United Nations high commissioner for human rights, said in a statement cited by The AP.
