A relief concert for victims of Hurricane Sandy is set for Dec. 12, put on by the same organizations that held the Concert for New York City, a 9/11 benefit.

Details about the concert are scarce, but organizers said that the performers will be comparable to the 9/11 benefit, which included Jay-Z and Paul McCartney.

The event will be put on by Clear Channel Media and Entertainment, the Madison Square Garden Company and the Weinstein Company.
