On January 16, 2010, legendary New Jersey thrashers WHIPLASH will play a benefit concert for Morgan Harrington, the 20-year-old student from Virginia Tech who was last seen on October 17th near the John Paul Jones Arena in Charlottesville, Virginia following a Metallica concert. The event, originally scheduled for December 19, 2009 but postponed due to inclement weather, will be held at The Hat Factory [http://www.hatfactoryva.com] in Richmond, Virginia and aims to raise awareness of Morgan's disappearance and support the Harrington family's ongoing search to find her.
