Due to an unexpected medical issue, Starship featuring Mickey Thomas will be unable to perform at StarNight 2019.

But Siskin Children's Institute announces that Plain White T's will be headlining the benefit on Saturday, Aug. 24, at the Chattanooga Convention Center.

Plain White T's topped the Billboard Hot 100 chart with "Hey There Delilah," which went quadruple-platinum and earned 2008 Grammy Award nominations in the categories of "Song of the Year" and "Best Pop Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocal."

The Chicago quintet comprised of Tom Higgenson, Tim Lopez, Dave Tirio, Mike Retondo and De'Mar Hamilton has amassed an enduring catalog spanning two gold-certified offerings, "All That We Needed" (2005) and "Every Second Counts" (2006), with anthems such as the double-platinum "1,2,3,4" and platinum "Rhythm of Love."
