With a lineup that includes Aerosmith, Jason Aldean, Boston, Jimmy Buffett, Dane Cook, Extreme, J Geils Band, Godsmack, Carole King, New Kids On The Block, James Taylor, and Steven Wright, and with the funds raised going to help out those affected by the bombing at this year’s marathon, it’s not at all a surprise tickets to the Boston Strong concert sold out just minutes after they were made available. The fundraising event will take place on May 30, 2013 at TD Garden, with the tickets all snatched up right after the sale began at 10am this morning.
Proceeds from the Boston Strong concert will benefit The One Fund Boston which will provide direct support to bombing victims.
“Live Nation and TD Garden have hosted thousands of concerts over the years, but none with such a sense of purpose as ‘Boston Strong’,” said Don Law, president of Live Nation New England. “Boston is a city with strong roots, and homegrown artists reached out to us to see what could be done. We are proud to help solidify this huge concert line-up.”
“Like so many other proud Bostonians who have been extremely generous, we are honored to step up and do our part to help the victims and their families,” stated Donnie Wahlberg of New Kids on the Block. “Hopefully this event will not only raise money, but spirits as well.”
