‘Boston Strong’ Benefit Concert Set For May 30

With the Boston Marathon bombings now firmly in the rear-view mirror, it’s time to look ahead to the future of the victims and the city itself -- reason enough for New Kids on the Block to organize and recruit acts for an all-star benefit concert.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, Boston Strong, scheduled to take place at Boston’s TD Arena on May 30, will feature one wicked lineup, including performances by Jason Aldean, Jimmy Buffett, Dane Cook, Extreme, James Taylor, Steven Wright, J Geils Band, Godsmack, Carole King and, of course, homegrown artists Aerosmith, Boston and New Kids, the latter who are headlining a pair of sold out shows at the same venue on June 2 and 3.

Tickets will go on sale today, May 6 at 10 a.m. ET, and all proceeds will go to The

One Fund Boston. There was no immediate word on ticket prices, but the tickets are all going to be paperless in an effort to cut down on scalping.
