Punk bands announce benefit concert for TSOL bassist Mike Roche

A benefit concert has been organized to support Mike Roche, the founding bassist of the punk band TSOL, following his diagnoses of Parkinson’s disease and dementia. The event is scheduled for November 7th at the Garden Amphitheatre in Garden Grove, California.

The lineup features several prominent punk bands, including The Offspring, Pennywise, Circle Jerks, Adolescents, and Guttermouth, among others. Musicians from the community have expressed their support, citing Roche’s long-standing influence on the punk scene over the last 40 years.

Roche’s partner, Tracy Vaughan, revealed his health conditions in 2024. Due to the progression of his illness, he requires round-the-clock care that exceeds insurance coverage. A GoFundMe campaign has already raised over $60,000. Tickets for the event go on sale September 18th at 9 a.m. PT.
