On November 7th, Bruce Springsteen will once again headline the annual “Stand Up For Heroes” benefit taking place this year at Manhattan’s David Geffen Hall at Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts.

Deadline.com reported in addition to Springsteen and Jon Stewart, who appears every year, this year’s comedy event will also feature Amber Iman, the Lumineers, Hasan Minhaj, Jeff Ross, and Iliza Shlesinger, with more to be announced.
