The Hope Concert, which had become an almost-annual event, was missing in action for the past two Decembers, mostly because its host, the inimitable Bobby Bandiera, was on tour with Jon Bon Jovi and his band.
The Hope Concert is slated to return this year, again under the musical direction of Bobby Bandiera. Tickets go on sale at noon Friday, Nov. 18, for the show, which will be held Dec. 19 at the Count Basie Theatre in Red Bank.

The Cancer Institute of New Jersey is the beneficiary of this year’s Hope show, which will feature an all-star line-up of so-far unnamed Jersey artists. Past renewals have featured regular appearances by Bandiera pals Bruce Springsteen and Jon Bon Jovi, who teamed up for a memorable Hope show back in December 2008.
Tickets are priced at $49.50 and $99.50, along with a few special $500 seats that include a pre-concert reception, sponsored by Saker ShopRite.
To purchase tickets, call the Count Basie at (732) 842-9000, or visit the theatre’s website, www.countbasietheatre.org.
