Just announced is 12.12.12, The Concert for Sandy Relief, which will take place at Madison Square Garden on December 12th this year. Amongst the artists performing are The Who, Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band, Jon Bon Jovi, Paul McCartney, and Roger Waters.
This special one night only live music event will help provide assistance to the millions of people throughout the tri-state area who have been affected by Hurricane Sandy. As the tri-state region begins to recover from Sandy's stunning and acute devastation along the coastal areas of Long Island, Queens, Staten Island, Connecticut and New Jersey, there remains an enormous task of rebuilding both the infrastructure and thousands of shattered lives. 12.12.12 presents an important opportunity for the community and nation to come together to provide significant support to these communities as they confront staggering short- and long-term issues.
The proceeds from the concert will go to the Robin Hood Relief Fund which is providing money, material and know-how to local organizations that are serving families and individuals in the regions hardest hit by the storm. More information will be released in the coming days related to tickets and VIP ticket packages; on-sale information; partners and sponsors; as well as telecast information.
