Dave Matthews Band will take the stage in their hometown for a concert to benefit the victims of violence in Charlottesville, Va. The Sept. 24 concert at the University of Virginia will be the only live performance of the year for the band, which was first to suggest such a event, according to the school. A slew of other performers will also appear for "an evening of music and unity," including Justin Timberlake, Pharrell Williams, Ariana Grande, and The Roots, per Variety. Tickets can be requested through the concert website until Monday and are free, though donations to the concert fund are strongly encouraged. (More Charlottesville, Va. stories.)
