Big names such as Bruce Springsteen and Josh Homme will be coming together around the world on August 21st to celebrate the music of Joe Strummer and concurrently raise money for the #SaveOurStages campaign.
“To see so many musicians and artists come forward to honour Joe is really touching,” Lucinda Tait remarks. “Community was always important to him. Whether it was playing music with friends, organising all night campfires, or hijacking festivals, Joe was always focused on bringing people together.”
“Even though we can’t all be in the same room together, I cannot think of a better way for us all to feel united. Joe would have loved this. This tribute to Joe is not only a great way to honour him, but to also remind people how important his message is right now.”
A Song For Joe: Celebrating The Life Of Joe Strummer will be a two-hour event streaming for free at JoeStrummer.com, and is to also feature previously unseen footage of the much missed Clash singer and guitarist.
