Pearl Jam's Eddie Vedder, the Foo Fighters' Dave Grohl and the guys in Bon Jovi who aren't named Bonjovi have been added to the 12-12-12 fundraising for Hurricane Sandy relief concert at Madison Square Garden in New York.
Jon Bonjovi, Bruce Springsteen & the E Street Band, Kanye West, Paul McCartney, Alicia Keys, Roger Waters, Billy Joel and The Who were already on the bill. All moneys go to the New York based Robin Hood Relief Fund, which a press release says will be "providing money, material and know-how to local organizations that are serving families and individuals in the regions hardest hit by the storm."
Tickets go on sale Monday at noon via Ticketmaster but there's a pre-sale for Chase cardholders on Saturday at 9. More info at www.121212concert.org and www.robinhood.org. The show will be telecast by HBO, AMC, Showtime and Sundance Channel (as well as others, probably) and streamed on Hulu, Yahoo and AOL.
