Fifth Harmony To Headline VH1 Save The Music “Hamptons Live” Benefit

VH1 Save The Music Foundation makes a hot return to the Hamptons for their annual HAMPTONS LIVE benefit with triple platinum, all-female pop group, Fifth Harmony who will kick off their North American 7/27 Tour on July 27 and whose smash hit from their album 7/27, “Work From Home,” is one of the anthems of summer 2016. A special deejay set from world-renowned DJ Cassidywill take the party to the next level at the event, which will be co-chaired by VH1 Save The Music Board Member, Julie Macklowe, her husband Billy Macklowe, and President of VH1 and Logo TV, Chris McCarthy. Tickets are now available here (on.vh1.com/hamptonslive2016) for the event, which will be held at a private residence on Saturday, August 27th.

VH1 Save The Music’s third annual Hamptons Live presented by Bai Beverages is an evening of entertainment that acknowledges the importance of instrumental music education in public schools.

“As we near our 20th anniversary, The Foundation remains committed to providing every student in America with access to a quality music education,” said Henry Donahue, executive director of VH1 Save The Music Foundation. “We would also like to acknowledge that we could not make a difference in the lives of millions of students without the generous support of our community, leaders like Julie and Billy and dedicated talent like Fifth Harmony and DJ Cassidy.”

Last year’s Hamptons Live, featured headliner, Jason Derulo, whose electric set and choreography made Hamptons Live the hottest party of the season. The event helped the Foundation restore music education in public schools across the country including a piano donation to the local East Quogue Elementary School. VH1 Save The Music plans to make another community donation in conjunction with this year’s Hamptons Live event.

“Each summer, we have thoroughly enjoyed supporting VH1 Save The Music’s noble efforts to keep music alive in schools,” said Julie Macklowe, Hamptons Live co-chair. “There is no better way to wrap up summer than with dancing the night away in the Hamptons and supporting a noteworthy cause.”
