A number of musicians including Arkells,
Permanent Bastards,
The Johnstones and Protest the Hero will be "busking" in Toronto to raise money for the War Child charity. Through "busking," which is simply performing for donations in a public place, the participants aim to raise $30,000 between 7 a.m. and 7 p.m. at major street corners and in busy downtown buildings on Tuesday in Toronto, ON.

I hope they bust this out one man band style, with cymbals between their knees.

Obligatory comment about how people will probably pay them to STOP playing. Haha, just kidding - I like Arkells.
