Dave Grohl and friends will play his 23-minute prog-rock epic, “Play,” at the Warren Haynes Annual Christmas Jam on December 8 at the U.S. Cellular Center in Asheville, North Carolina.
The annual event enters its 30th year in 2018, and this year it has been expanded into a two-night affair, spread across December 7 and 8.
Haynes said in a statement that he can’t believe that it has been 30 years since he and a few friends held a small event in a local club so “we could all play together around the holidays and donate a small amount of money to charity.”
“Never in our wildest dreams did I, or anyone in attendance that night, expect that our little show would evolve into the event that it has, taking place over two nights at the arena where I saw so many great shows as a teenager,” he added.
A star-studded line-up is set to perform at the event, including Eric Church, Jim James, Grace Potter, Phish‘s Mike Gordon and Gov’t Mule. Proceeds from the show will go to the Asheville Area Habitat for Humanity.
