The Shins, The Rapture & MTV Raise Darfur Awareness

Seems like this year's MTVU’s Campus Invasion tour, unlike years past, will actually help out a social cause (it's about damn time!). The shows (in 3 US cities) will assist in raising money & awareness for the ongoing crisis in Darfur; proceeds will benefit the Save Darfur Coalition. The organization will also have booths at the concerts where students can learn more about the cause.

The first show goes down at The Backyard in Austin April 22 and will feature the Shins, the Rapture, Shiny Toy Guns, and the Academy Is. The April 27 show at the Hi Fi Buys Amphitheatre in Atlanta is hip-hop-centric, with Rick Ross, Fabolous, Rich Boy, and DG Yolla. And April 29 at Penn’s Landing in Philadelphia has Dashboard Confessional, K-os, Kenna, Gym Class Heroes, Augustana, and Kidz in the Hall. (dates/line-ups via Prefix)
