Help Oakland heal by attending a Noise Pop / Another Planet Entertainment benefit show at the Fox Theater in Oakland on Wednesday, December 14 for the Oakland Fire Relief Effort. There will be performances and stories from musicians and journalists, all of which have connections to either the Bay Area music scene or various warehouse/DIY scenes.

Tickets start at $35, but we feel this is definitely worth the splurge for Funcheapers since 100% of proceeds for the benefit will go to the Gray Area Foundation For The Arts Oakland Fire Relief Fund.

The event will feature music and stories from a wide variety of artists including: Boots Riley (The Coup), Christopher Willits, Dan Deacon, Gabe Meline (KQED), Geographer, Hieroglyphics, Jay Som, Primus, Rogue Wave, Sam Lefebvre (Pitchfork/East Bay Express), Sidecar Tommy (Beats Antique), Thao Nguyen, Tune-Yards, Tycho and many more to be announced.

Tickets go on sale Friday, December 9 at 12:00 p.m. PT via Ticketmaster.com, with 100% of the proceeds from ticket sales going directly to Oakland Fire Relief Fund. Tickets will range in costs from $35 (Reserved Balcony Seating) to $49.50 (General Admission Floor), with the ability to give an additional $25, $50, $100, $250, $500 or $1000 in donations. For those who are unable to attend the event, patrons are encouraged to donate online.
