One of the biggest concert events of 2008 is coming to Koka Booth Amphitheatre in Cary, N.C. on September 20. The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, in conjunction with the John Entwistle Foundation, will stage a benefit concert that is sure to be among the most anticipated shows in recent memory.

Proceeds from the concert will benefit both the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum's education outreach efforts and the John Entwistle Foundation's program, which provide musical instruments and music lessons to disadvantaged youths through the public library systems in communities across the country. John Entwistle was the legendary bass guitarist for The Who, and is himself a Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee.

This once-in-a-lifetime concert will include performances by:

Rock Legends
Grand Funk Railroad guitarist and lead vocalist Mark Farner
Blue Oyster Cult front-man Buck Dharma
Deep Purple and Rainbow lead vocalist Joe Lynn Turner
Former members of the John Entwistle Band

North Carolina Greats
The Connells: The extremely popular Raleigh-based group known for its introspective lyrics and melodic, guitar-oriented sound.
Arrogance: A band that throughout the ‘70s and early ‘80s was arguably the most popular in the state, and whose very rare reunion shows have played to packed houses large and small.

Emerging Artists and Local Bands
Parmalee ( North Carolina )
Grand Society ( North Carolina )
Supagroup ( Louisiana )

*More concert participants and legendary musicians will be revealed and added to the bill at a later date, so visit the Official Site for more updated information.
