Road Work: TDE Toy Drive, Boardwalk Rock, Soul Coughing

* Kendrick Lamar, SZA, ScHoolboy Q, Jay Rock, Ab-Soul, Doechii, Isaiah Rashad, SiR, Ray Vaughn and Zacari will all perform tomorrow (12/12) at Top Dawg Entertainment’s 11th annual TDE Christmas Concert & Toy Drive. The event will be held at 11251 Compton Ave. in Los Angeles, and fans can gain entry by bringing an unwrapped gift. Proceeds will benefit the Nickerson Gardens Housing Projects in Los Angeles’ Watts neighborhood.

* A host of musicians will assemble Jan. 24 at Cain’s Ballroom in Tulsa, Ok., to celebrate the 50th anniversary of Bob Dylan’s Blood on the Tracks, including Elvis Costello, Diana Krall, Sharon Van Etten, Adam Granduciel from the War on Drugs, Lucinda Williams, Robyn Hitchcock, Real Estate‘s Martin Courtney, Kevin Morby, Michael Shannon and Jason Narducy and Indigo Girls‘ Amy Ray.

Original Blood on the Tracks contributors Gregg Inhofer, Kevin Odengard and Billy Peterson will perform as part of a house band featuring Brad and Phil Cook, Ben Folds Five‘s Darren Jesse and musical director Doug Keith. Actor Luke Wilson will serve as the host for the evening, which is dubbed “Shelter From the Storm.” Tulsa is home to the Bob Dylan Center, which houses his memorabilia and artifacts.

* Def Leppard, Nickelback, Motley Crue and Shinedown will headline the first Boardwalk Rock festival on May 17-18 in Ocean City, Md. The event, promoted by C3 Presents, will also boast appearances by Three Days Grace, Alice Cooper, 3 Doors Down, Halestorm, Bush, Chevelle, Bret Micheals and Flyleaf.

* Detroit’s techno-driven Movement Festival will be anchored by Jamie xx, Carl Cox, HiTech, John Summit, local legends Carl Craig and DJ Minx, Chase & Status and Sammy Virji, among others. The event takes place May 24-26 at Hart Plaza over Memorial Day weekend, and many additional artists will be announced.

* Soul Coughing apparently enjoyed their first tour in 25 years so much that they’re commemorating it with a live album and heading back on the road in 2025. The group will return to action April 9 in Memphis and has 13 other shows on tap through the end of that month. The 21-track album, appropriately named Live 2024, will be released April 4.
