Layne Staley Tribute East 2025 – Hosted by Mistress Carrie
Layne Staley Tribute East is the first-ever East Coast tribute concert dedicated to honoring the legacy of Layne Staley and Mike Starr while raising awareness and support for addiction recovery. Modeled after the official Seattle Layne Staley Tribute—which has run for over 23 years—this event brings that powerful tradition to the East Coast for the very first time.
More than a concert, it’s a mission-driven, nonprofit event that turns tragedy into hope. Organized by Boston-area Alice in Chains tribute bands Nothingsafe and The Real Thing, the tribute offers fans an unforgettable night of music, remembrance, and purpose. Brought to you by Nehi Stripes Seattle, the official media outlet of the Seattle-based tribute, the event is a deeply personal and authentic experience.
Proceeds will support musicians struggling with fentanyl and opioid addiction and provide resources for their families through donations to the Layne Staley Memorial Fund via Therapeutic Health Services (THS) in Seattle and the Charles River Recovery Center in Weston, MA.
