In partnership with Live Nation, the concert will take place on October 31 at Los Angeles's Greek Theater and will bring in a slew of artists who were fans, friends and contemporaries in an inaugural benefit concert.

Karen Meyers had moving words on the announcement saying of her son, "He was pure artistry — constantly creating, seeking, and discovering new ways to be both a source of inspiration and catalyst for new artists. We were fortunate, not only to work with Malcolm and watch his music evolve, but to witness his own personal evolution that included a strong focus on building bridges and opening doors for anyone and everyone he encountered. We hope his ambitions to bring people together and to create new opportunities will continue to live through the MMCF. We know Malcolm would be appreciative and proud of the thought and care that is going into making the MMCF a reality, so thank you to all who are selflessly helping this come to life."
