Friday’s Leftovers: I Have a Dream Concert
Stevie Wonder, Joss Stone and Carlos Santana are among the major names that will be performing at Radio City Music Hall on September 18th as part of The Dream Concert. The Dream Concert was put together by the Martin Luther King, Jr. National Memorial Project Foundation to benefit the building of a memorial on the National Mall. Tickets go on sale this Monday at 9am and are priced at $250, $500 and $1000. The concert may be pricey, but it’s for a worthy cause.
