Dave Matthews Band to play NYC cancer benefit
Dave Matthews Band will play a lung cancer benefit concert at Madison Square Garden in New York on Sept. 10.
The show, announced today, will benefit Stand Up for a Cure, a “nonprofit organization dedicated to eradicating lung cancer.” The organization is hosting several events in New York this summer, including a Jerry Seinfeld show next month and a Brian Wilson concert in July.
Tickets for the DMB show are only available through the Warehouse or by invitation. The cheapest seats are $79.50, and the most expensive are $254.50 — but those seats are reserved for Stand Up for a Cure benefactors. The Warehouse ticket request period opens tomorrow at noon and closes next Friday at noon.
Madison Square Garden has hosted some of the great Dave Matthews concerts ever, including the Dec. 21, 2002 show where DMB performed “Sex Machine” with James Brown and the Dec. 17, 2003 Dave Matthews and Friends concert that featured the return of “Sweet Up and Down.”
