Nashville-based rockers Kings of Leon will come to the aid of their home state with the "Rock for Oklahoma" benefit concert, taking place July 23 at the Chesapeake Energy Arena in Oklahoma City, Okla.
The band will perform along a slate of acts with "a special connection to the state," including OKC's own The Flaming Lips, Rock and Roll Hall of Famer Jackson Browne and indie-rock vets Built to Spill.
The concert will raise money for victims of F5 tornados that struck Moore, Oklahoma City, and surrounding areas earlier this year, and proceeds will be dispersed to central Oklahoma community organizations and charities.
In release, Kings bassist Jared Followill said the band "couldn't be more proud to lend a hand to our home state."
