Lineup set for Neil Young-led Bridge School Benefit

Metallica , Jerry Lee Lewis and Tom Waits are among the diverse acts set to play the 21st annual edition of Neil Young 's Bridge School Benefit .

The shows--which typically feature acoustic sets--are set for Oct. 27 and 28 at their usual home, the San Francisco Bay Area's Shoreline Amphitheater. Tickets for both dates go on sale Sunday (9/9), according to promoter Live Nation.

The full lineup for both shows also include Eddie Vedder with Flea and Jack Irons ; Tom Waits with Kronos Quartet; John Mayer; Tegan and Sara; and Regina Spektor .

The concerts benefit the Bridge School, which serves severely speech-impaired children in the San Francisco Bay Area. Young's wife, Pegi, and Jim Forderer--both parents of children with severe speech and physical impairments--co-founded the school in 1986 along with Dr. Marilyn Buzolich.
