The lineup for Neil Young's annual Bridge School Benefit concert, which takes place on October 23-24 in Mountain View, California, has been revealed. The biggest news is that Buffalo Springfield will reunite for their first show in 42 years, according to Rolling Stone. Original members Young, Stephen Stills and Richie Furay will all perform. Original bassist Bruce Palmer died back in 2004 and their first drummer, Dewey Martin, died last year. Buffalo Springfield's official last show took place in 1968, but they performed privately in 1986 at Stills' home. They were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame back in 1997 but Young didn't attend the ceremony, so no reunion performance there.
Pearl Jam will also headline both days of the Bridge School Benefit, while Elvis Costello, Billy Idol and Jackson Browne with David Lindley will perform on Friday, October 23rd. Saturday, October 24th will have performances from Elton John, Elvis Costello and Neko Case. Modest Mouse and Grizzly Bear will open both dates.
The Bridge School Benefit concerts have been happening since 1986, when Young's wife, Pegi, founded the school. Proceeds go to the school, which helps kids with severe speech impediments and physical impairments.
