The show will take place January 21, 2007 at London\'s Roundhouse.
It\'s close to the second anniversary of Capaldi\'s death on January 28, 2005. The drummer died of cancer, at the age of sixty.
The Dear Mr. Fantasy concert, named for one of Traffic\'s best-known albums, will celebrate the life and work of Capaldi. Already confirmed to appear are performers such as Joe Walsh, former Deep Purple keyboardist Jon Lord, Simon Kirke, Dennis Locorriere (Dr. Hook), The Storys, Andy Newmark, Ray Cooper and Paul McCartney keyboardist Paul \"Wix\" Wickens.
The event will raise funds for the Jubilee Action Street Children Appeal, a charity in which Capaldi and his wife Anina were active.
