The legendary British rock band Rolling Stones will perform at the 12-12-12, the relief concert for hurricane Sandy that is set to begin Dec. 12, at Madison Square Garden in New York, said organisers Dec. 7.

"We wanted to put together the greatest rock show ever on one stage, and we realized we were missing one group," John Sykes, president of Clear Channel Entertainment Enterprises told TIME.

The concert will be broadcasted to over two million people in North and South America, Europe, Africa, Asia and Australia said their website. The concert will be available via TV, radio and Internet.

The concert will be also helped out by celebrities like Steve Buscemi, Jessica Chastain, Chelsea Clinton, Sean Combs, Billy Crystal, Leo DiCaprio, Jimmy Fallon, Jake Gyllenhaal, Karlie Kloss, Seth Meyers, Bobby Moynihan, Chris Rock, Adam Sandler, Susan Sarandon, Jon Stewart, Kristen Stewart, Quentin Tarantino, and Brian Williams.

All the proceeds from the show will go to the Robin Hood Relief Effort. The hurricane killed more than 110 people and destroyed homes, schools and hospitals of thousands of people, AFP reported.
