The Morrison Hotel Gallery will be presenteing a day-long charity music festival called (De)Tour on Saturday, August 15th. The event will feature live streams from an all-star lineup of artists and photographer exclusives benefitting MusiCares and the National Independent Venue Association (NIVA). The show will take place on YouTube Live, and (De)Tour will feature both at-home performances from participating acts as well as performances from legendary music venues around the world.
(De)Tour will have performances by iconic artists, including Ringo Starr, Linda Perry, Slash, Gavin Rossdale, Macy Gray, Sean Lennon, Jesse Malin, Cheap Trick, Taylor Momsen and Badflower, John Oates, David Johansen, Billy Gibbons, Darryl McDaniels (a.k.a. DMC), Gilby Clarke, Donita Sparks, Matt Sorum, Lzzy Hale, Bluebonnets, Charlotte Muhl, David Ramirez, Al Barr, Eve Monsees, Scream, Haley Reinhart, Joseph Arthur, Kathy Valentine, Lenny Kaye, Mickey Thomas, Mike Flanigin, South of Eden, Steve Stevens, Sue Foley, The Cringe, Uni, Vintage Trouble, Awolnation, Mike Garson, Meg Toohey, Carmine Rojas, and more. The evening will also include appearances by celebrated music photographers Mick Rock, Bob Gruen, Henry Diltz, Danny Clinch and Lynn Goldsmith.
The mission of (De)Tour is to raise money to combat widespread tour cancellations and the continued uncertainty faced by the music community as thousands of creatives and professionals remain without work indefinitely. Taking the new normal to the next level, (De)Tour offers patrons all-day, unlimited access to live streamed performances of festival headliners both in their own homes and on the otherwise vacant stages of legendary music venues throughout the nation.
From New York City’s Bowery Electric to West Hollywood’s Whisky a Go Go, The Roxy Theatre and Viper Room, this all-access experience is as much for the fans as music’s unsung heroes with no cost for admission and donations accepted in real-time and exclusive VIP upgrades. Fans will be invited to watch rock n roll legends play songs and speak candidly with their iconic photographers inside of the venues that pushed them to fame.
