Zedd has taken it upon himself to put together a fundraising concert for the ACLU in light of the recent policy changes in the US in regards to immigrants, etc.
Boasting an all-star lineup feat. himself, Skrillex, Imagine Dragons, Incubus, Macklemore, Tinnshe, Daya and Halsey just in the 1st phase! The event will take place at the Staples Center in Los Angeles on April 3, 2017. Sets are ranging between 3 songs and 30 minutes per his request.
His reasons for doing so were tweeted out as well:
as an immigrant myself I feel the need to stand up for what I believe is right.

i didn't wanna sit around and watch so I decided to take action and ask my friends to help me out and come together to put on a concert.

the MAIN THOUGHT is to get as many donations to the @ACLU as possible.
