The show, scheduled for November 11 at 7pm at UBS Arena in Belmont Park, NY, will feature the two iconic artists playing material from each of their respective catalogs. This year’s show marks the eighth annual edition of VetsAid which started in 2017 with a show at EagleBank Arena in Fairfax, VA. The two iconic artists will be joined by Eric Church, Toto and Kool & The Gang this year.

    “VetsAid is for EVERYONE: fans of all ages, backgrounds and musical genres,” Walsh explains. “So who better to join the party than Posty – the man who can do it all? And do it so well?! Mix in the best of country with Eric, rock with Toto and funk with Kool and The Gang and you have a VetsAid for the ages. What better way to honor our veterans and their families this Veterans Day than with a night you will never forget?”

    Walsh has also announced the grant recipients that will benefit from the proceeds of this year’s VetsAid. All of the groups are either based in New York or New Jersey or have committed to using these funds exclusively on the ground in New York or New Jersey.

His mission is to use this platform to raise funds and awareness for the still urgent and significant needs of our returning soldiers and their families. The establishment of VetsAid and this annual benefit concert is his way of giving back to those who have given so much in sacrifice for this country.

He even scored “the highest-certified single in RIAA history” with the 17x-platinum “Sunflower (Spider-Man: Into The Spider-Verse),” netting the biggest single of his generation. In 2023, he garnered a GRAMMY Award nod in the category of “Best Pop Duo/Group Performance” for “I Like You (A Happier Song)” [with Doja Cat], marking his tenth career nomination in six years.

    Bonnaroo 2024 will be further highlighted by a very special edition of the festival’s world-famous SuperJam. Set for Saturday, June 15 in That Tent, 2024’s all-star collaboration will be “Once More With Feeling(s) – The Dashboard Confessional Emo SuperJam,” with performances from special guests both announced and unannounced, making this session a must-see celebration of community, showmanship, and unmatched musical adventure. Additional lineup announcements – including plans for the magical “Where In The Woods” stage as well as Late Night showcase performances – will be unveiled soon.

    Bonnaroo has maintained a unique commitment to local and regional issues since the festival’s very beginnings. Founded in 2009 as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, the Bonnaroo Works Fund (BWF) contributes to more than 100 local, regional, and national nonprofit partners benefiting the arts, education, environmental sustainability, and social impact, with a direct focus on local reinvestment and asset building. This week, Bonnaroo Music & Arts Festival released its latest Economic Impact Study, revealing that the 2023 event contributed $339.8 million to the regional economy, including more than $5.1 million in tax revenue to the region.

    The presale begins Thursday, January 11 at 10 am (CT), and fans can sign up now for a presale passcode exclusively here. A public on-sale will follow if tickets remain. 2024 ticket options include 4-Day General Admission, 4-Day GA+, 4-Day VIP, 4-Day Platinum, along with a variety of camping and parking options starting at just $25 down with a payment plan.
