Rufus and Martha Wainwright have announced Hooray for Hollydays, this year’s version of the siblings’ annual holiday concert event. The benefit will take place in Los Angeles on December 6 at the Saban Theatre and will feature a number of special guests including Beck, Lucy Dacus, Jordan Firstman, Jake Wesley Rogers, and more to be announced soon, along with the Wainwright family. Net proceeds from the event will go directly to Folk Cancer: The Kate McGarrigle Project, a collaboration that Rufus and Martha established with Cancer Can Rock in memory of their mother.
Regarding the event, Rufus said: “I’m not a religious person per se, but I do believe in love and light. Over the years our family holiday concerts have imbued both relatives and the general public with these two positive qualities, not to mention a few laughs along the way, and in this present dark and brutal time I’m willing to gage that the effect will be brighter and lovelier than ever!”
Pre-sale tickets for the event will be available on September 17 here. Check out the poster below.
