Queens of the Stone Age Join Neil Young’s 2013 Bridge School Benefit

A slightly less rocking version of Queens of the Stone Age take part in Neil Young's annually acoustic Bridge School Benefit this fall.

The band confirmed their appearance in this year's event, marking their first time playing Young's star-studded benefit. The group will play both nights alongside headliners Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young, with My Morning Jacket, Elvis Costello, Diana Krall, fun., Heart and Jenny Lewis joining them on the eclectic lineup. The 27th annual event will also feature the Killers playing Saturday only.

The Bridge School Benefit takes place Oct. 26 and 27 at the Shoreline Amphitheatre in Mountain View, Calif. with tickets for the event set to go on sale Sept. 13 via Live Nation, Ticketmaster and the Shoreline Amphitheatre box office. All proceeds from the show will go to the Bridge School, whose mission is to aid individuals with severe speech and physical impairments. For more info on the Bridge School Benefit, click here.

Queens of the Stone Age are supporting their latest album, '… Like Clockwork,' which debuted at No. 1 earlier this year. The band are one of the hottest live acts going at the moment and the acoustic nature of the Bridge School Benefit should provide fans to see the band in a manner in which they typically don't perform.
