Image Group LA/ABCGreen Day will be live-streaming a special performance from Tampa, Florida, this afternoon in support of disaster relief organization Americares and its work helping those affected by Hurricane Harvey.

The stream — filmed backstage at the MIDFLORIDA Credit Union Amphitheater, where Green Day will play a full set later tonight — will begin today at 4 p.m. ET via the punk trio’s Facebook page.

Along with the intimate gig, Green Day will donate $100,000 to Americares.

“We kept seeing these terrible images of devastation coming from Texas, and we knew we had to do something to help,” says frontman Billie Joe Armstrong. “We’re encouraging fans to join us in support of Americares, a trusted organization that’s on the ground providing aid.”
