Three individuals were killed and hundreds injured after two separate bombs went off by the finish line at the 2013 Boston Marathon on Monday, April 15. Since then, thousands of people have offered their support through fundraising for the victims.

NKOTB singer Donnie Wahlberg released in a statement: “Like so many other proud Bostonians who have been extremely generous, we are honored to step up and do our part to help the victims and their families. Hopefully this event will not only raise money, but spirits as well... Boston's gonna f#cking rock that night!”

James Taylor said, "The One Fund event at the Garden this May 30th is destined to be a true Boston landmark. From the promoters to the sound & lights, to the performers and the Garden staff; everyone involved has responded from the heart in a spontaneous and simultaneous desire to be there, and to do what we can for the city we love. I am honored to be a part of it, and I can’t wait.”

Organizers claim that more artists are currently being invited to participate in the show.

Ticket prices have not been released, but tickets will be paperless in an effort to cut down on scalping. They go on sale Monday, May 6 at 10 a.m. For more info, go here.
