Luke Combs, Eric Church, Billy Strings, and James Taylor will headline ‘Concert for Carolina,’ a special benefit show presented by Explore Asheville.
On Saturday, October 26, at Bank of America Stadium in Charlotte, North Carolina, Explore Asheville and the Buncombe County Tourism Development Authority present a special benefit show for those affected by the tremendous devastation caused by Hurricane Helene.
Headliners Luke Combs, Eric Church, Billy Strings, and James Taylor will take the stage in a state which is profoundly special place for all four artists. Combs, Church, and Taylor grew up in North Carolina, while Strings has performed there numerous times throughout his career.
The event will be hosted by ESPN’s Marty Smith and Barstool Sports’ Caleb Pressley, and will feature additional artists still to be announced.
When news of the destruction wrought by Hurricane Helene first began, the group mobilized and started outreach to put together an event to raise critical funds for the relief efforts. The call to David Tepper, owner of the Carolina Panthers, Charlotte FC, and Bank of America Stadium, and his wife, Nicole Tepper, was met with overwhelming generosity and decisive action. The Teppers immediately offered Bank of America Stadium as a venue, and everyone united to make the benefit concert a reality as swiftly as possible.
Tickets for the show will go on sale this Thursday, October 10, at 10 AM ET. Full details can be found on the benefit’s website. 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 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, as well as one more organization still to be announced. Church’s Chief Cares is focused on helping established charities and organizations that are well managed, 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 on the benefit’s website.
“Concert for Carolina” is made possible due to the support and generosity of David and Nicole Tepper, Tepper Sports & Entertainment, Explore Asheville, T-Mobile, Atrium Health, Jack Daniel’s, Whataburger, Miller Lite, and Blue Cross and Blue Shield of North Carolina.
