CLASSIC ROCK BAND CHEAP TRICK TO HEADLINE AN ALL-STAR CONCERT LINE-UP AT THE ONE LOVE BAHAMAS BENEFIT CONCERT.
Cheap Trick has graciously signed on to headline the One Love Bahamas Benefit Concert on November 23, 2019 at the Pompano Beach Amphitheater. The proceeds from this concert will benefit those directly affected by Hurricane Dorian.
Just under an hour plane ride away from the closest Bahamian island, Florida based concert and festival promoters became deeply aware of their proximity and connection to the Bahamas, and its people, bringing the idea for a benefit concert to South Florida. “We could not stand by idly when our brothers and sisters in the Bahamas are experiencing such devastation,” said Rob Tischler, a One Love Bahamas co‐producer.
That sentiment was warmly received by the City of Pompano Beach, who has been collecting donations of food, water and other survival support essentials since the deadly hurricane passed. City officials, working alongside Shipwreck Park through its humanitarian efforts, offered to host the star‐studded event realizing how much it is going to take to help the Bahamas get through this.
Rebuilding the islands and restoring its residents will take a massive, coordinated effort over many years to come. One Love Bahamas was formed with the belief that even in the darkest of days, incredible things can happen when incredible people come together. Shipwreck Park, a Pompano Beach not for profit 501 (c)(3) organization has diverted all of its efforts to Bahamian Disaster relief and will administer 100% of concert proceeds to this effort. Tickets for One Love Bahamas will go on sale Thursday, September 26, 2019 at 10 a.m., through Ticketmaster. Lineup information will be announced soon.
