OCEANA, the largest international advocacy organization dedicated solely to ocean conservation, announced that legendary rock band Red Hot Chili Peppers will headline their fourth annual “Rock Under The Stars” celebration, which is taking place October 12th at a private residence in Los Angeles. Funds raised will “help rebuild abundant and biodiverse oceans,” according to OCEANA.
“Sting heroically helped us launch Rock Under the Stars in 2016. In the following years, Don Henley and Dead & Co. featuring John Mayer helped us make it one of LA’s most exciting and elite fundraisers,” said OCEANA Board President Keith Addis. “This year, with the generous support of the amazing Red Hot Chili Peppers, Rock Under the Stars is firmly established as a world-class event which will help OCEANA fund its mission to stop the scourge of ocean plastic pollution.”
Last year’s Rock Under The Stars raised over $1.1M and featured the first performance ever by Dead & Co. for a non-profit fundraiser.
Tickets for the 2019 event are available now. For more information or to purchase tickets, contact Harvin@5Bevents.com.
