(AP photo)NEW YORK - Outrage over President Donald Trump's travel ban has prompted a spring fundraising concert for the American Civil Liberties Union that will feature a diverse lineup, including Macklemore, Imagine Dragons, Incubus, Miguel and Skrillex. DJ and producer Zedd, a Russian-born immigrant, organised the April 3 concert called "Welcome!'' "All of us artists have a huge responsibility, whether we want it or not,'' said Zedd, whose real name is Anton Zaslavski. The ACLU was chosen as the beneficiary because the organisation has been fighting Trump's executive order on immigration, which included a temporary travel ban on people from seven Muslim-majority countries. The travel ban struck a raw nerve and he reached out to all the music acts he could.
