COLO. SPRINGS, Colo. -- Kevin Bacon's band is going to new heights, planning a concert on top of 14,110-foot-high Pikes Peak.

The band is set to play June 27, and is part of the Pikes Peak Rocks concert, an event organized to raise money for bone marrow donors around the world.

The Pikes Peak Rocks Concert is sponsored by the Love Hope Strength Foundation, a group that raises money for cancer centers by organizing high-altitude benefit concerts, according to the Colorado Springs Gazette.

Registered hikers will face a 12.6-mile hike to hear the Bacon Brothers at the summit.

"Hiking Pikes Peak is no easy feat," said Shannon Foley, director of the Love Hope Strength foundation. "We had a couple of people not register because they really weren't sure what they were getting themselves into."

The hike will begin at 6 a.m. on June 27. and the Bacons are scheduled to perform at 1 p.m. The event also includes performances by The White Buffalos and Cy Curnin of The Fixx.

According to the Gazette, Love Strength Hope has organized fundraising hikes around the world. Past destinations have included the Empire State Building, Mount Everest's overlook and the trails to Machu Picchu.

"It makes sense to do the concert on Pikes Peak. What is the most iconic mountain in the U.S.? It's Pikes Peak," Folley told the press.

The foundation has been working with the Pikes Peak Highway since January to bring the concert to the 14,110-foot summit and according to Foley the foundation chooses iconic locations of high elevation to reinforce its theme.

"It symbolizes the climb back from cancer for millions of people around the world," Foley said.
