The Strokes have announced they will perform at the first-ever City of Angels Benefit Concert in Los Angeles to raise money for three L.A.-based non-profit organizations that help provide resources and services to the homeless: the Center in Hollywood, Waste Not Want Not Now, and the Downtown Women’s Center. The concert will be held July 25 at the Wiltern, with tickets going on sale Thursday. All net proceeds from the event will go towards these organizations. “Homelessness and mental health are big issues in L.A. and we’re happy to do a little something that can hopefully help a bit,” frontman Julian Casablancas said in a press release. ”The Center in Hollywood and Waste Not Want Not Now are great, well-intentioned and trustworthy charities doing wonderful work.” The Strokes’ most recent release is the Future Present Past EP.
