ANAHEIM, Calif. — Above Ground, the benefit show curated by Jane’s Addiction guitarist Dave Navarro and Billy Idol guitarist Billy Morrison, has announced its lineup.

The event happening at the Fonda Theatre in Hollywood on Wednesday, Jan. 25, will include performances from Billy Idol, Billy Howerdel (A Perfect Circle), Duff McKagan (Guns N’ Roses), Elliot Easton (the Cars), Jerry Cantrell (Alice in Chains), Jerry Harrison (Talking Heads/Modern Lovers), Josh Freese (Foo Fighters), Mark McGrath (Sugar Ray), Steve Stevens (Billy Idol) and Tommy Henriksen & Glen Sobel (Alice Cooper, Hollywood Vampires) and more to be announced in the new year.

Tickets for the show’s fourth iteration start at $84.73 and are on sale now at axs.com.

Above Ground usually celebrates a select vinyl album with performances of the record in its entirety by an all-star band. Navarro and Morrison’s fourth benefit show will feature the self-titled debut albums of both the New York Dolls and the Cars.

“Dave and I love albums that sit closer to the ‘art’ side of things and that are a bit of a challenge to recreate,” Billy Morrison said in a press release. “We just do our best to honor the records, to get the parts and the tones correct, to not just hack through bad cover versions of these important songs. So, we don’t really try to put a ‘spin’ on them but rather present these albums as they were meant to be heard, every song in order, sounding as close as we can get to the original.”

Above Ground was founded in 2018 to raise funds and awareness for mental health and suicide prevention. This year, the event is working with MusiCares, an organization that offers mental health and addiction services, health services and aid for basic living expenses in times of hardship for people in the music industry. The charity, founded by the Recording Academy in 1989, funds direct financial grant programs, networks of support resources, and tailored crisis relief efforts for musicians.

“The need to shine a light on mental health doesn’t go away,” Morrison said in the press release. “And I think that Dave and I work so well together on these AG events that it just felt right to come back with the fourth show. We both have our own mental health battles on different levels, and if we can help raise some funds and awareness, then we are doing a good thing.”
