Fall Out Boy's Patrick Stump to Play Apple RED Event

Apple confirmed a special live music event on Wednesday featuring Fall Out Boy lead singer Patrick Stump, who will talk about Apple's GarageBand app and perform a few songs as part of the company's Apps for (RED) AIDS initiative.

The event is set for 8:00 p.m. EST tonight in New York City at the SoHo Apple Store, where the Chicago rocker will perform live and discuss his creative process for composing music and writing songs using the app, according to Apple.

Stump's appearance is a continuation of Apple's Apps for (RED) campaign, which is part of a wider initiative to fight the spread of AIDS around the world.

"Apple is a proud supporter of (RED) because we believe the gift of life is the most important gift anyone can give," Apple's CEO Tim Cook said about the initiative. "For eight years, our customers have been helping fight AIDS in Africa by funding life-saving treatments, which are having a profoundly positive impact."

Apple offers an in-app purchase to unlock the limited-edition (GarageBand) RED Loop Pack, like "an exclusive collection of 300 guitar, bass, synth and drum loops in a variety of genres."

Apple made donations based on retail sales and handed out iTunes gift cards with select hardware purchases on Black Friday.

A portion of Apple Store sales recorded on Cyber Monday was also donated to the initiative, according to the iPhone maker.

Apple Stores around the globe also changed the color of their logos to red in honor World AIDS Day.

The SoHo Apple Store is known for hosting unique sit-down events with big-names in the entertainment business. For example, on Wednesday, "Family Guy" creator and former Oscar host Seth MacFarlane and composer Joel McNeely promoted the new Christmas album "Holiday for Swing!"

On Dec. 5, Michael Cera, Kieran Culkin, and Tavi Gevinson, will be in store to discuss their new film "This Is Our Youth."
