Taking Back Sunday have announced rescheduled tour dates plans, combining two upcoming dates into a new "mega-show" with a portion of proceeds going to Hurricane Sandy relief and also adding a new show in New York City with all proceeds going towards relief. The band put out this information about the dates:

Performances at the Starland Ballroom � originally scheduled for Nov. 16 and Nov. 25 � will combine into one "mega-show" on Sunday, Nov. 25 at Pine Belt Arena, on the campus of Toms River High School North in Toms River, NJ. Bayside, The Menzingers and Kenny Truhn will open. Tickets marked for both Starland Ballroom shows will be honored at Pine Belt Arena. This relocation means that more tickets will be available for these previously sold-out shows. Taking Back Sunday, Bayside, The Menzingers, Kenny Truhn and AEG Live will donate a portion of ticket sales to the Toms River Hurricane Sandy Relief Fund.

In addition, Taking Back Sunday has announced a NEW SHOW to take place next Friday, Nov. 16 at the Best Buy Theater in New York City. Bayside and The Menzingers will open. Taking Back Sunday, Bayside, The Menzingers and AEG Live will donate 100% of net ticket proceeds to relief efforts in and around Long Beach, NY, the hometown of several Taking Back Sunday band members and family members of the other bands.

Each of these shows will feature Taking Back Sunday celebrating the 10th anniversary of its breakthrough release Tell All Your Friends by performing the album in its entirety.

Taking Back Sunday bassist Shaun Cooper said, "We're devastated to see all of the damage this natural disaster caused in our community and the communities around us, but it is always inspiring to see people come together and push forward. We're making the best of this difficult situation. Thanks to the fans for the continued support and understanding why these changes needed to take place. We would also like to thank the Starland Ballroom for helping coordinate these efforts despite being located in an affected area."

If you bought tickets for the 16th and want to go to the show in NYC instead, you must REFUND YOUR ORIGINAL TICKETS and purchase new ones for that event. If you bought tickets for either the 16th or 25th and want to go to the new show at Pine Belt Arena on the 25th your tickets will be honored.
