A special benefit concert for relief in Haiti has quickly been assembled for tomorrow night at the Telus Theatre in Montreal. Featuring performances by Muzion, Linda Thalie, Loco Locass, Dubmatique, and Les Colocs amongst many others, proceeds from the event, including 50% of beverage sales will go towards three organizations: the Red Cross, Médecins du Monde and Clowns Sans Frontières. Spectacle Bénéfice Haiti is created by the L'Union fait la force and counts Telus as a major partner.

The wireless carrier is donating the use of the Telus Theatre and will be establishing a call-in centre so that those who can't make it to the concert can still make donations. The company's 5,000 employees will be working as volunteers and Telus has pledged to match the funds raised by the concert up to $25,000.

Tickets are $20 at Admission.com (18 years and older) and Telus mobile subscribers can call in to make a donation by dialing *2323.

The line-up of acts set to perform include Muzion (with an exclusive number), Linda Thalie, Loco Locass, Dubmatique, Les Colocs, Bad News Brown, Dupuis, Marc Antoine, Jonas & Corey acoustic band, Rachelle Jeanty, Dan Bigras, Frank Julien, Paul Piché with appearances from Pénélope McQuade, Angelo Cadet, Geneviève Borne, Didier Lucien and Herby Moreau.
