Slashis hitting the road this summer!

On Tuesday, the Guns N' Roses rocker announced the S.E.R.P.E.N.T. Festival Tour, a blues-focused string of North American concerts with various musicians in support of his forthcoming albumOrgy of the Damned.

“The S.E.R.P.E.N.T. tour is a celebration of blues and rock ‘n’ roll music, and a celebration of unity and togetherness in these uncertain and divisive times,” said Slash, 58, in apress release on his website.

According to the Grammy winner, S.E.R.P.E.N.T. stands for “Solidarity, Engagement, Restore, Peace, Equality N’ Tolerance” — which ties into the tour’s charitable aspect, as its proceeds will partially benefitThe Equal Justice Initiative,Know Your Rights Camp,The Greenlining InstituteandWar Child.

“So, we are contributing a portion of every ticket and VIP package sold from the tour to those ends. S.E.R.P.E.N.T. will also provide an environment where folks can get together for a day of great music and hang out and have a good time,” his statement concluded.
