The Prine Family and The Hello in There Foundation have announced that a tribute concert in honor of John Prine will be held at the Chicago Theatre on October 8, two days before what would have been his 80th Birthday.
Souvenirs: 80 Years of John Prine will commemorate his life and legacy alongside a community of artists performing their favorite Prine songs, paying tribute to an immortal body of work that has inspired, comforted and connected generations.
Backed by Prine's longtime live band, the initial lineup includes host and performer John C. Reilly, along with Alynda Segarra of Hurray for the Riff Raff, Amos Lee, Andrew Sa, Briscoe, Jon Langford, Josh Ritter, Joy Oladokun, Kathleen Edwards, Margo Price, Noeline Hofmann, Ratboys, Shemekia Copeland, Steve Earle, The Cactus Blossoms, and The Sullivan Sisters. More names will be announced later.

Additional events will be revealed in the coming weeks and months, with proceeds from Souvenirs: 80 Years of John Prine benefiting The Hello in There Foundation's ongoing grantmaking in his memory.
Ahead of the event, fans can also experience Prine's enduring influence at Songwriters Celebrate John Prine, a creative collaboration with Wolf Trap Foundation for the Performing Arts, taking place on June 9 at Filene Center in Vienna.
Furthermore, on May 29, the Prine Family will host a virtual premiere of You Got Gold: A Celebration of John Prine, the new star-studded tribute concert film captured in October 2022 at Nashville's Ryman Auditorium. Following its debut in select theatres across the country, the virtual screening will feature a live chat with Fiona Prine and other members of the family, and will be available on-demand through May 31.
