Layne Staley Tribute East returns following a powerful inaugural year as a mission-driven concert honoring the legacies of Layne Staley and Mike Starr while raising awareness and support for people affected by addiction.

Modeled after the long-running Seattle Layne Staley Tribute, now in its 24th year, the East Coast event carries that spirit forward through a night of music, remembrance, and purpose.

The second annual concert features Davey Allen, Billy Paul Fisher,Vedder Gabriel, and guest musicians performing the music of Alice in Chains. It’s a chance to remember Layne and Mike through the music we love and help people who are working toward recovery today.

Proceeds will support musicians struggling with fentanyl and opioid addiction and provide resources for their families through donations to the Layne Staley Memorial Fund via Therapeutic Health Services (THS) in Seattle and the CASPAR Men’s Recovery Home in Somerville, Massachusetts.
