In the wake of a series of wildfires that surged across Northern California last month, resulting in more than 40 deaths and the devastation of 6,000 homes -- with damage estimates in the billions of dollars -- YouTube and Twitter announced today that they will both livestream a Band Together Bay Area charity concert on Thursday beginning at 8:45 pm Et to support recovery efforts

Featuring performances by Metallica, Dead & Company, Dave Matthews and Tim Reynolds, G-Eazy, Rancid, and Raphael Saadiq, all ticket sales will go to an emergency relief fund established by local poverty-fighting nonprofit Tipping Point Community. Tipping Point will distribute funds to community foundations, local service providers, and government partners, who will work to provide temporary housing, food, education, and healthcare services. Funds will be harnessed toward the low income communities that were hit hardest by the fires.
