Appetite for Construction

Appetite for Construction is a 34-city tour that will help people in need of safe, decent, affordable housing realize the dream of homeownership. Switchfoot is teaming up with good friends Relient K, to raise funds for local affiliates of Habitat for Humanity and raise awareness of Habitat’s mission in each city that the tour will reach. The Appetite for Construction tour will donate the net proceeds of $1 per ticket sold for the performance in each city to the local Habitat for Humanity affiliate….yours!!

The partnership with Habitat for Humanity began when the bands were discussing ways to give back to the community and discovered they shared a mutual respect for the organization. The Appetite for Construction tour starts October 16th in Charleston, WV.

In the past four years, Switchfoot and Relient K bands have collectively scored five albums in the top 20 of the Billboard Top 200 Albums chart. Switchfoot has sold more than 1 million concert tickets worldwide since the 2003 release of its double-Platinum album, “Beautiful Letdown.” Swithfoot is best known for their song “Meant to Live” which is currently played on the radio.

The show is next Tuesday, October 16th at 7 p.m. at the Charleston Municipal Auditorium. Tickets are $29 and $25.
