MySpace is behind 37 shows “Rock for Darfur” concerts across Australia, the United States, and the rest of the world this Saturday. John Butler Trio will fly the Aussie flag in New York, Megadeth with rock Perth, and Xavier Rudd will play Sydney.
“As I watch the fire around my Southern California home, I know that the devastation of losing treasured personal property, a house, or even a whole city, cannot compare to the evil atrocities that the children and parents of Darfur have had to endure under the ongoing genocide,” said Megadeth frontman Dave Mustaine.
“I hope and pray you too will join in helping the people of Darfur in a small way by attending a ‘Rock for Darfur’ concert on November 10. All donations, large and small, are very necessary to help overpower this tragedy. I am doing my part, will you do yours?”
The concerts will raise funds for Oxfam and the Save Darfur Coalition. Just turn up at any of the shows below to make a difference!
