The Dave Matthews Band announced on Wednesday that it would devote the proceeds of its next arena concert in New Jersey to help with the recovery efforts after Hurricane Sandy, The Associated Press reported.

The band hopes to raise at least $1 million to help victims of the storm. All the ticket and merchandise sales from its Nov. 30 show at the Izod Center in East Rutherford — the first show of the band’s short winter tour — will go to the Bama Works Sandy Relief Fund, which has been set up at the Community Foundation of New Jersey. The Nov. 30 concert will also feature Jimmy Cliff. Tickets are still available.
