Wilson's tour will include an appearance at an August 21 "Never Forget" concert at Jones Beach Theater that will commemorate the 20th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks; the event will also see performances by Journey, John Fogerty, the Steve Miller Band, and more.

All proceeds will go to the Tunnel To Towers Foundation, which has been providing mortgage-free homes to families of first responders for several years; the foundation will donate tickets to first responders, military personnel and Gold Star families. For more information, visit t2t.org.
