Our Spring 2024 tour set our year in motion running full-speed ahead, breaking several fundraising records, and raising a whopping $1 million! We kicked things off with our first-ever Dallas event, where the bands impressed and the crowd embraced us as though we’d already been there for years. We sold out our weekend at the Whisky, raising a record-smashing $416K over two nights at the iconic Sunset Strip venue in Los Angeles. After successful shows in Paris, Houston, Istanbul, and San Francisco, we sold out our Chicago show and nearly tripled last year’s fundraising total in that city. We had two epic shows in London this spring, the latter of which celebrated our 15th anniversary as an organization. We’ve been rocking globally and giving locally since 2009, with 30 cities toured and over $7 million raised since we began. It’s been quite the journey, and with the enthusiasm and drive we saw on our Spring 2024 tour, we’ll be at 8 million before we know it! We are proud to have supported more than 50 amazing organizations on our 2024 tour so far!
In celebration of the amazing bands, fans, firms, and sponsors who helped us make it all possible, we’ve put together a selection of photo highlights from our 2024 tour so far that show the spirit of what we’re all about.
We’ll see you in the fall!
AN ELECTRIC KICK-OFF
