The Affliction Concert featuring rock bands Danzig, Pennywise and T.S.O.L. will be held at the SMG-managed Long Beach Arena on Saturday, December 19, at 6:30PM.  Presented by Affliction Holdings LLC, all ticket proceeds will benefit Amnesty International.

Danzig is known as one of the masters of 1980’s rock that formed the backbone of today’s guitar rock movement.  The band has sold over eight million records and recently released their latest album, Danzig 6:66 Satan’s Child.

Pennywise has had a legion of fans since their 1991 self-titled debut album. Their popularity continued as they toured into the 21st Century, selling out shows worldwide. The band headlined  Van’s Warped Tour in 2007 and last year released their Reason to Believe album.

Orange County-based, T.S.O.L., established themselves in the 80’s rock movement quickly. Their catchy songs were well-received and their live shows were energetic and fun. The band reunited this year after a 10-year separation.

The line-up is subject to change without notice.

As a tribute to fans, Affliction is offering all tickets for the December 19 concert for just $5.00 with all proceeds from the event benefiting Amnesty International.  Amnesty International is a worldwide movement of people who campaign for internationally-recognized human rights.  The organization has more than 2.2 million members and subscribers in more than 150 countries and regions, and works for justice on a wide range of issues.

"This special concert not only features a great line-up, it is for a great cause," said Dan Spellens, Director of Theaters & Entertainment for the Long Beach Convention & Entertainment Center. "We are thrilled to welcome this event to the Long Beach Arena," he concluded.
