Bruce Springsteen headlines Nov. 5 Stand Up For Heroes benefit

Bruce Springsteen will join comics Louis C.K., John Oliver and John Mulaney for the eighth Stand Up For Heroes benefit concert Nov. 5 at Madison Square Garden in New York to raise money to assist injured military service personnel and their families.

The annual shows have raised more than $21 million for post-9/11 service members who have returned from active duty with injuries. Tickets for this year’s event go on sale Wednesday, Sept. 17.

“Lee and I are so humbled by the generous contributions of the talent, sponsors, and variety of organizations in honor of our nation’s heroes and their families. Each year the show gets bigger and better, demonstrating the unwavering support of all those involved,” said Bob Woodruff, ABC News Journalist and co-founder of the Bob Woodruff Foundation, co-presenter of Stand Up For Heroes with the New York Comedy Festival.

“We, as well as the show’s talented performers, want to show our appreciation for and give back to the brave men and women who served our country and have come home injured,” Woodruff said in a statement. “We are inspired and moved by the grand presence of all these groups on such an incredible night for us to commend and remember our heroes.”

Springsteen has been a regular at the event since it began in 2007, and which in previous years has featured Roger Waters and other musicians along with comedians including Jerry Seinfeld, John Stewart, Bill Cosby and Ricky Gervais. Stand Up for Heroes kicks off the 2014 New York Comedy Festival, which runs Nov. 5 to 9.
