Fall Out Boy takes a stand against gun violence at a very special gig on March 23rd.
The rock stars will be headlining at the Stay Amped benefit concert in Washington DC, a night before a scheduled march. Both events hope to raise money and awareness for gun-violence prevention in the wake of last month’s tragic shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida.

Scheduled to perform with Fall Out Boy, will be G-Eazy, Bebe Rexha and Lizzo along with some yet-to-be-announced special guests. Proceeds from the concert will go to two anti-gun-violence organizations: Everytown for Gun Safety and Giffords: Courage to Fight Gun Violence. Tickets go on sale at 10am ET on Wednesday at ticketfly.com.
Celebrities have been using their platforms to spread the word about March For Our Lives. George Clooney and his wife Amal have pledged $500k to the cause, which Oprah graciously matched. Justin Bieber, Amy Schumer and Paramore’s Hayley Williams have all voiced support for stricter gun laws, too.
