The 20th annual Andy Kim Christmas show in support of CAMH Gifts Of Light will take place on December 4th at Massey Hall in Toronto, and Rush's Alex Lifeson will be one of the many artists to participate. Other guest performers will include Broken Social Scene, Billy Talent, Barenaked Ladies, William Prince, Dan Hill, and Molly Johnson, with more yet to be announced. From the announcement (thanks RushFanForever):

Andy Kim's annual Christmas show is returning to Toronto's Massey Hall, and the veteran musician has announced the guests who will be joining him for the show on December 4.

For the 20th annual Andy Kim Christmas, the bill includes Broken Social Scene, Alex Lifeson, Billy Talent, Barenaked Ladies, William Prince, Dan Hill, Molly Johnson and more guests to be announced in the coming weeks.

"There is something fascinating about a 20th anniversary celebration. With all the excitement of putting this year's 20th AK Christmas, I'm reminded of the first one," Kim said in a statement. "Filled with the honest belief that our musical community will help me ease into the Christmas holiday spirit."

All proceeds from the event will be donated to CAMH's Gifts of Light. Tickets go on sale this Friday at 10 a.m. local time.

You can get more information and purchase tickets at this location. Alex has participated in the Andy Kim Christmas Show several times in the past, most recently last year where he performed the Andy Kim classic Sugar Sugar with Kim, and also sat in on the all-star jam of the FREE classic All Right Now. You can get full coverage from last year's event here.
