Hurricane Sandy Benefit Concert

For one-night-only, a star-studded cast of music industry’s most valuable players will be gracing New York City’s legendary arena, Madison Square Garden, to put on a benefit concert for Hurricane Sandy!  This event, officially tagged the 12.12.12 concert, will be featuring performances from Billy Joel and Paul McCartney to Alicia Keys and Kanye West.  If you haven’t guessed already, the show will be going down this Wednesday, December 12!  You have a chance to attend a viewing of this benefit concert for free—yes FREE!

Many people can recall the momentous Concert for New York City benefit that took place weeks after September 11, 2001 in honor of New York Fire Department and New York Police Department’s first responders, their families, those lost in the attacks and those in recovery.  Well, the same organizers of that event are putting on the benefit concert for families affected by Hurricane Sandy’s wrath.  This benefit is expected to be a remarkable event in history and it’s happening right here in New York City!   All proceeds will directly benefit Hurricane Sandy victims through the Robin Hood Foundation.  

You don’t have to worry about this performance costing you a single penny, as selected movie theatres in hurricane-affected areas will be screening the show live for free with complimentary snacks!  Because tickets are distributed on a first come, first serve basis, it’s advised that you contact the listed movie theatre to ensure your seat at the screening! 

Additionally, the concert will be broadcast globally!  For one magical night, the United States and international television stations, Clear Channel radio stations and premier websites, such as YouTube and Yahoo, will be broadcasting the event worldwide.  Event producers James Dolan, John Sykes and Harvey Weinstein expressed their anticipation in this disclosed statement: "The live simulcast of this historic benefit concert in movie theatres will provide a welcome opportunity for those people still recovering from the devastation to have an enjoyable and a much-needed night out. Seeing this incredible all-star lineup on the big screen and hearing it in surround sound will certainly make for a memorable evening."
