This is cool. Billboard has the story:

As was tipped here earlier this month, Tom Morello is once again combining politics and music on the road with his upcoming Justice Tour.

The long-time activist, who also performs under the Nightwatchman moniker, has tapped artists like Ben Harper, Slash, Perry Farrell and members of MC5 and AFI to play different dates, with each performance focusing on different spheres of social justice.

The Justice Tour kicks off April 15 in Los Angeles, which will spotlight homelessness and as partnered with Axis of Justice and People Assisting the Homeless. It continues to New York’s Nokia Theater on April 17, the House of Blues in New Orleans on April 20, The Grey Eagle Tavern & Music Hall in Asheville, N.C. on April 22, the Black Cat in Washington, D.C., on April 24, Boston on April 28 and Park West in Chicago on May 1.

The New York show is a previously announced show benefiting Road Recovery and will feature Slash, Jerry Cantrell and Wayne Kramer of MC5.
