Details of a fundraising concert to aid the Boston Marathon victims have been revealed today (May 3) and the event will boast an impressive line up of musical performers.

Reformed boyband New Kids On The Block have been confirmed to play at the event, which will take place at Boston's TD Garden on May 30. The group's very own Joey McIntyre was among the runners who took part in the sporting event, which ended in tragedy following a series of bomb blasts on April 15.

The concert has been titled Boston Strong: An Evening of Support and Celebration and will also see a live set from natives Aerosmith and rockers Boston, who love the city so much they named their act after it. Proceeds will benefit the One Fund Boston, which was created by Massachusetts Governor Deval Patrick and Boston Mayor Thomas Menino to help those affected by the devastating incident.

Other stars confirmed to perform include Jason Aldean, Jimmy Buffett, comedian Dane Cook, Extreme, Godsmack, The J. Geils Band, Carole King, James Taylor, and Steven Wright.

NKOTB star Donnie Wahlberg said of the fundraiser: "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."

Tickets are due to go on sale at 10am on May 6.
