Taking place on Joe\u2019s birthday, the event will honor Joe’s legacy and feature performances and testimonials by many of the former Clash front man\u2019s friends and notable names in the music & arts community, as well as never-before-seen Joe Strummer live footage.<\/p>\n

\u201cTo see so many musicians and artists come forward to honor Joe is really touching,\u201d says Joe\u2019s wife Lucinda Tait. \u201cCommunity was always important to him. Whether it was playing music with friends, organizing all night campfires, or hijacking festivals, Joe was always focused on bringing people together. Even though we can’t all be in the same room together, I cannot think of a better way for us all to feel united. Joe would have loved this.\u201d<\/p>\n
