Rita Ora, Adam Lambert, and many more will play a benefit concert for suicide prevention to tribute Avicii, more than a year after he took his own life.
The Avicii Tribute Concert for Mental Health Awareness, which kicks off on December 5 in Stockholm, Sweden, will run for two hours and feature 19 original musicians performing the late EDM star's most popular records with a 30-piece band. Additionally, Avicii's friends David Guetta, Kygo, Dimitri Vegas & Like Mike, and Laidback Luke and Nicky Romero, will headline the event with opening presentations at Friends Arena.
So far, the artists billed for the tribute concert include: Alex Ebert, Aloe Blacc, Amanda Wilson, Andreas Moe, Audra Mae, Blondfire, Bonn, Carl Falk, Dan Tyminski, Daniel Adams Ray, Joe Janiak, Nick Furlong, Otto Knows, Sandro Cavazza, Simon Aldred, Vargas Lagola and Zack Abel.
Proceeds from the event will go toward supporting the Tim Bergling Foundation — created by Avicii's family in his honor — which serves to support "people and organizations working in the field of mental illness and suicide prevention."
Tickets for the Avicii Tribute Concert for Mental Health Awareness are expected to go on sale Thursday (September 5) at 10 a.m. CET. (Get more information about tickets and the lineup here.)
