Big news for country music fans and those eager to lend a helping hand! Luke Combs and Eric Church have just announced a special benefit concert called “Concert for Carolina,” which will raise money for the victims of Hurricane Helene. The show is set to take place on Saturday, October 26th, at Bank of America Stadium in Charlotte, and the lineup is incredible.
Joining Luke and Eric on stage will be none other than Billy Strings and James Taylor, making this one powerhouse of a concert for a great cause. It’s heartwarming to see artists coming together like this, and the best part? Every penny of the proceeds will go to help those affected by the storm.
The funds will be divided evenly between the two country stars. Luke’s portion will support organizations like Samaritan’s Purse, Manna Food Bank, and Second Harvest Food Bank of Northwest North Carolina. Meanwhile, Eric’s share will go toward his charity, Chief Cares, which will distribute the money to groups working directly with hurricane victims.
The idea for the concert became a reality following a phone call from the artists to David Tepper, the owner of the Carolina Panthers. Since the Panthers will be playing in Denver that weekend (Go Broncos!), Bank of America Stadium was available, and Tepper made the venue happen for this special event.
Marty Smith from ESPN and Caleb Pressley from Barstool Sports will host the evening, and we can expect even more artists to be announced soon.
Tickets go on sale Thursday at 10:00 a.m. Eastern, so set your reminders! This is going to be a night to remember, and it’s all for an important cause. For more information on how to get tickets, click here.
