Buffalo Springfield

LiveNation today announced the lineup for this year's Bridge School Benefit -- Neil Young's annual show for the school he helped found for his son -- and, well, wow: In addition to the regulars, the classic '60s outfit Buffalo Springfield is reuniting for the show, minus two original members who've sadly passed on. Best known as the L.A. folk-rock band that helped launch the careers of Young and Stephen Stills, Springfield's most famous song is by far "For What It's Worth," which was iconic even before it was used in Forrest Gump.

But that's not the only highlight on the bill: Elton John performs on the second day of the concert, Billy Idol on the first, and Grizzly Bear both days. We haven't even mentioned Pearl Jam, Modest Mouse, or Elvis Costello yet.

Bridge School this year runs on October 23 and 24 at Shoreline Amphitheatre. Tickets go on sale this Sunday at 10 a.m. The rest of the lineup isn't too shabby either -- see it after the jump.
