A monumental concert featuring some of country music’s biggest stars is set to take place in Charlotte later this month, with all proceeds dedicated to supporting relief efforts for Hurricane Helene in North Carolina and across the Southeast.

The event, titled “Concert for Carolina,” will be headlined by North Carolina natives Luke Combs and Eric Church, alongside special guests Billy Strings and James Taylor, both of whom have strong ties to the region.

Plans for the concert were revealed just ten days after Combs hinted at organizing something significant to assist his home state. “I told y’all I had something big planned for Carolina,” he shared in a recent post. “This concert involved extensive planning and coordination from so many people. I’m incredibly grateful to everyone who helped bring this together on such short notice.”

David and Nicole Tepper, owners of the Carolina Panthers, have generously offered Bank of America Stadium for the event and committed an initial $3 million to support the relief efforts.

The “Concert for Carolina” is scheduled for Saturday, October 26, with tickets going on sale Thursday, October 10, at 10 a.m. Tickets can be purchased online.

All proceeds, including sponsorships, will benefit Church’s Chief Cares Foundation and four charities selected by Combs. Among the organizations Combs has chosen are Samaritan’s Purse, Manna Food Bank, and Second Harvest Food Bank of Northwest NC.
