Moby [ tickets ] has confirmed that he will donate proceeds from three upcoming shows in California to assist the state's struggling domestic-violence shelters.

The three concerts--Oct. 12 in San Diego, Oct. 14 in Los Angeles and Oct. 15 in San Francisco--are part of the DJ/singer/songwriter's current North American outing, which kicked off last month and continues Tuesday night (10/6) with the first of two shows in Mexico City. Details are included below.

"I've decided to give all of the revenue from my upcoming California shows to the California Partnership to End Domestic Violence," he said in a press statement. "My hope is that by doing this I will enable domestic-violence prevention workers to continue their work, and also encourage other people to step in and help raise funds for domestic-violence prevention and care.

"Domestic violence is equal parts prison and torture for many women, and my sincere hope is that we can step up and help to protect women in California and end domestic violence."

The performer first announced the idea in a posting earlier this week at his Facebook page.

"I was just reading in the New York Times that California is cutting all state funding to its domestic violence program," he wrote. "As a result I would like to donate my fees from my upcoming shows in LA and San Francisco to domestic-violence programs in California. I don't know anyone who works on domestic-violence shelters and prevention in California, so if you know anyone please put them in touch with def, my management."

Moby continues to support his latest album, "Wait For Me," on the road. Released in June, the set peaked at No. 22 on The Billboard 200, the performer's highest-charting album since 2002's "18."
