(B! Noticed) The Fight For Nashville is a Breast Cancer Awareness Concert to help raise money for the American Cancer Society Men Wear Pink Foundation. It showcases Van Halen music from all eras and songs played by many of Nashville's top tour band members, performing artists, and local favorites. The goal is to rock for a cause and help raise money for breast cancer research. The show will be held at The Cowan at Top Golf (500 Cowan St., Nashville, TN) on October 8th. The doors open at 6 pm show starts at 7 pm.

Show organizer Brian Russell Collins stated, "Cancer is a disease I've been personally affected by. Losing my mother and sister to this disease changed my whole world. My life's mission is to always fight for the ones who are in the fight and battling for their lives. This event is for all who have fought and are still fighting, and the ones we lost. Music brings us together, and there's no better music than Van Halen to bring us all together for a cause that helps fight cancer. This show is a tribute to the music, to the legacy of Eddie Van Halen, who lost the battle to cancer, and to the fighters who still fight and know they're not alone. The motto for the show is never out of the fight. So we will be on that journey with you all. So come and show your pink colors and help us raise money for breast cancer awareness."
