OAKLAND - A benefit concert is scheduled for Wednesday to raise money for victims of the Oakland warehouse fire. Tickets went on sale at noon on Friday.

The East Bay Times reports (http://bit.ly/2hdt8ol) Alt-rock favorites Primus, ambient-music act Tycho and indie-pop champ Tune-Yards are among the acts set to perform at Oakland United: A Benefit Supporting Oakland Fire Relief.

The newspaper says the Dec. 14 benefit concert at the Fox Theater in Oakland also features Boots Riley (The Coup), Dan Deacon, Geographer, Hieroglyphics, Rogue Wave and Thao Nguyen.

Proceeds go to the Gray Area Foundation for the Arts Oakland Fire Relief Fund, which has reportedly already collected more than $550,000. Chelsea Handler, Lena Dunham, NFL personnel and tech companies have all donated to the fund.

The fire broke out at a dance party last Friday night.
