Tenacious D will also perform

Queens Of The Stone Age will host a benefit concert in Los Angeles this weekend to celebrate the life of musician Natasha Shneider.

PJ Harvey, Tenacious D and members of Pearl Jam and ZZ Top will also perform at the benefit gig at the Henry Fonda Theatre on Saturday (August 16).

They plan to roll out "songs from the limits of the QOTSA catalog and beyond", according to the band's website.

Proceeds from the event will go toward paying Shneider's outstanding medical bills from her battle with cancer. Shneider passed away earlier this summer.

Tickets for the benefit are available via Ticketmaster, and donations can be made at Natashashneider.org.
