Decemberists to play first show in three years at benefit concert in May

The Decemberists are returning to the stage for the first time in three years on May 30 to perform a benefit concert with Sallie Ford at Crystal Ballroom in Portland, Oregon, Consequence of Sound reports. The band is set to perform their 2002 debut, Castaways and Cutouts, in full as well as other hits and possibly a few new tracks.

The concert, called "V is for Victory," supports Victory Academy, a specialty school geared to help children with autism. Tickets go on sale Friday, May 7, and VIP packages include a special pre-show reception with the band.

As Consequence of Sound notes, the band is currently working on a new album, the follow up to 2011's The King is Dead, which is expected to see a 2014 release.
