MSG to hold benefit concert for Sandy aid Dec. 12

Madison Square Garden will hold a special concert on Dec. 12 to benefit those affected by Superstorm Sandy.

The event dubbed "12-12-12" was announced Thursday in a news release by MSG. No performers have been announced, but more information will be coming through in the coming days, according to the venue.

Proceeds will benefit those affected by Sandy in the New York-New Jersey-Connecticut area through the Robin Hood Relief Fund. The event is being produced by those behind the 9/11 benefit "The Concert for New York City," which featured Paul McCartney, Jay-Z, The Who and Elton John.

Sandy made landfall more than a week ago, killing many of its more than 100 victims in New York City and New Jersey and leaving millions without power.
