The show aimed at raising funds for Planned Parenthood will bring along more special guests.
A benefit show has been announced for the day before Donald Trump's Inauguration as the President of the United States next Friday, January 20.
Common and The National will perform with more special guests due to be announced in the days leading up to the concert.
The Show Up! is being described as a "call to action for supporters of reproductive freedom to take action wherever they are" and it's hosted by Planned Parenthood and All Access.
"Women should be able to make their own decisions about their bodies and health. This is a basic human right, and we’re at the very beginning of a long and tough battle to defend these basic rights," The National lead singer Matt Berninger said in a press release. "A concert in DC, inspiring people to take action, seems like a pretty good way to kick it off."
Limited tickets to Show Up! are free of charge and available "through partnering organizations". It will take place at Washington D.C.’s 9:30 Club on Thursday, January 19.
The event will be hosted by Monica Simpson, the Executive Director of SisterSong, the National Women of Color Reproductive Justice Collective.
