LAS VEGAS, Sept. 2 (UPI) -- The Andre Agassi Grand Slam for Children benefit in Las Vegas will feature performances by Matchbox Twenty, Kelly Clarkson and Carlos Santana, among others.

Tony Bennett, George Wallace and Jerry Seinfeld also have agreed to be part of the line-up for the Oct. 6 event at the MGM Grand Garden Arena, Pollstar.com reported Sunday.

Grammy-award winning producer, arranger and composer David Foster also will be returning for his 12th year as musical director for the benefit.

Tickets are on sale at the venue's box office for $50, $70 and $90.
