U2 To Perform At MusiCares’ Clayton Event
We were wondering if the other three members of U2 might show up and perform at next week’s MusiCares Foundation® event honoring U2 bassist Adam Clayton — and today that news was confirmed — Bono, The Edge and Larry Mullen will indeed join their comrade and co-founder Clayton for a rare, intimate U2 performance to close the 13th annual MusiCares MAP Fund® benefit concert, which is happening Monday, June 26 at the PlayStation Theater in New York City. Clayton will receive the prestigious Stevie Ray Vaughan Award in recognition of his dedication and support of the MusiCares MAP Fund as well as his commitment to helping others with the addiction recovery process.
U2 joins a list of specially chosen performers that include Chronixx, Michael Franti, Jack Garratt, The Lumineers and Grammy winner Macy Gray. Cat Deeley will be the host and Grammy winner Hal Willner will be the evening’s musical director. The event, sponsored in part by RBC Capital Markets, will benefit the MusiCares MAP Fund, which provides members of the music community access to addiction recovery treatment. For ticket information, please contact Wynnie Wynn at 310-392-3777 or wynniew@grammy.com. Some balcony seating may still be available through AXS.com for $75 per person.
