Boston Strong Concert Performers: Aerosmith, James Taylor Set For Show, Dropkick Murphys Added to Lineup

Aerosmith, James Taylor and Jimmy Buffet are among prominent acts to perform Thursday night's Boston Strong benefit concert.

Boston favorites Dropkick Murphys have also been added to the lineup, and Boston car dealer is making the addition possible. Ernie Boch, Jr. sent his private jet to pick up the band, so they could be in Boston to play the show, according to boston.com.

The hardcore Celtic rock group who hail from Boston, were not announced on the original lineup unleashed a month ago because of a scheduling conflict. The "I'm Shipping Up to Boston" group has already reportedly raised hundreds of thousands of dollars for the effort, Billboard says.

Jason Aldean, New Kids on the Block, Boston, Godsmack and Carol King are also slated to perform. Dane Cook and Steven Wright will also perform their stand-up acts during the show.

"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" said James Taylor, according to boston.com.

Tickets for the show at the TD Garden in Boston, went on sale May 6 and sold out in minutes, according to the AP. Tickets were priced from $35 to $285. The show will be streamed online, according to Billboard.

Proceeds from the concert will benefit The One Fund Boston, according to Billboard. the foundation was started by Massachusetts Governor Deval Patrick and Boston Mayor Thomas Menino to help the people who were "most affected by the tragic events that occurred in Boston on April 15," a news release said, according to Billboard.
