The Rolling Stones, Eric Clapton, Roger Waters, and many more are scheduled to perform live at Madison Square Garden for a live and broadcast audience of over 2 billion people to raise money for Hurricane Sandy relief efforts through the Robin Hood Relief Fund. Broadcasting for free over the web, radio, television, and in select movie theatres in the New York Tri-State area, the 12/12/12 concert will be viewed live from six continents.
All ticket and merchandising proceeds for this legendary event will be given to community relief organizations supported by the Robin Hood Relief Fund. The lineup of music’s biggest names was assembled by several heavy-hitting businessmen, including Harvey Weinstein. "This is the biggest rock concert and the biggest grossing event ever. This will dwarf everything," says Weinstein.
