Celebrities poured into the Madison Square Garden in New York City, on Wednesday (September 10), to see the sold out Stand Up For a Cure concert, which aims to benefit lung cancer research.

The Dave Matthews band were performing at the event and the front-man who told the crowd he was 10-years-old when his father died of lung cancer said “one day, we hopefully won’t need to have events like this.” 

The band were introduced by longtime friend Julia Roberts who told the crowd, “I cannot tell you how excited I am to be in the greatest city in the world to introduce one of the greatest bands of the world! We should all feel good about participating, I’m thrilled to be able to say that on September 10 that we are welcoming some of the heroes and first responders from September 11. As New Yorkers, we are beholden to all of them.”

In the house were Chace Crawford, Lindsay Lohan, Aubery O’Day, Dina Lohan and Jessica Szohr.
