Luke Combs, Eric Church, Billy Strings and James Taylor will headline Concert for Carolina, a special benefit show to raise money towards Hurricane Helene relief efforts.

Church posted on social media: “This is my home. It’s in every fiber of who I am. Our family members, friends, neighbors and communities are in dire need. I’m honored to share the stage with an incredible lineup in order to help meet those needs. Through the dark, light will shine.”

‘Concert for Carolina’ have also partnered with Veeps to livestream the sold-out event, set to take place on Saturday, October 26th at Bank of America Stadium in Charlotte, North Carolina. The livestream provides an additional opportunity to raise as much money as possible for Hurricane Helene relief efforts, and will be available worldwide with free access for those impacted by Hurricane Helene. For those not directly impacted, the livestream will cost $24.99 with an option for additional donations available.

The event will be hosted by ESPN’s Marty Smith and Barstool Sports’ Caleb Pressley and will feature additional artists including Sheryl Crow, Keith Urban, Bailey Zimmerman, The Avett Brothers, Scotty McCreery, Chase Rice, and Parmalee.

All proceeds from the event, including sponsorships, will be split 50/50 between Combs and Church’s Chief Cares Foundation to administer to organizations of their choosing in support of relief efforts across the Carolinas and the Southeast. Combs’ portion will be distributed between Samaritan’s Purse, Manna Food Bank and Second Harvest Food Bank of Northwest NC, and Eblen Charitie; while Church’s Chief Cares is focused on helping established charities and organizations that are well managed, and organized and can expedite aid directly to the families affected by Hurricane Helene.

For those unable to attend the concert but still looking to support, donations can be made now to The North Carolina Community Foundation Disaster Relief Fund or to various organizations listed at concertforcarolina.com.
