Every fall for the last 20+ years, legendary singer-songwriter Neil Young has assembled an all-star roster of musicians for a charity concert to benefit the Bridge School – a school which assists children with severe physical impairments and complex communication needs. Now in its 25th year, this year’s event will feature performances from Young, Arcade Fire, Dave Matthews, Eddie Vedder, Foo Fighters, Tony Bennett, Mumford & Sons, Beck, Diana Krall, Jenny Lewis and Los Invisibles featuring Carlos Santana. The usually all-acoustic shows will take place at the Shoreline Amphitheatre in Mountain View, Calif. on October 22 and 23.

Finally, as we previously reported, on Sept. 13 Primus will release Green Naugahyde, their first album of new material in 11 years via ATO Records/Prawn Songs. The quirky funky-rock act are offering fans an advance preview by streaming the entire record on South Park’s Facebook page (a show that the band has a longstanding association with, having composed its theme song) as part of the show’s Year Of The Fan campaign.
