Foo Fighter Dave Grohl and Pearl Jam frontman Eddie Vedder have signed up for next month's Superstorm Sandy benefit concert at Madison Square Garden, which could be one of the great televised live music events of recent memory.
A news release says the rock stars will join Paul McCartney, Bruce Springsteen & the E Street Band and Kanye West.
Billy Joel, The Who, Alicia Keys, Jon Bon Jovi and Roger Waters are also confirmed to perform at the New York City show dubbed "12-12-12."
The Rolling Stones, who just stormed London, might even make an appearance,
As a huge Stones fan, I'd really like to see this happen.
Proceeds from 12-12-12 will go to the Robin Hood Relief Fund to benefit those affected by Sandy in New York, New Jersey and Connecticut.
Information regarding the telecast of the concert will be posted at www.121212concert.org.
On Nov. 2, Springsteen, Jovi and Joel played NBC's live one-hour benefit telethon, "Hurricane Sandy: Coming Together."
Christina Aguilera, Sting and Jimmy Fallon also performed.
NBC reported the event raised nearly $23 million for the American Red Cross relief efforts for Hurricane Sandy.
