CHARLOTTE, N.C. - Get ready for a star-studded night of country music!

On Saturday, October 26, Bank of America Stadium in Charlotte will host the highly anticipated “Concert for Carolina,” featuring renowned North Carolina artists Luke Combs and Eric Church. This monumental event aims to raise funds for recovery efforts following the devastating impacts of Hurricane Helene, which recently affected the region and the Southeast.

A Star-Studded Lineup

Joining Combs and Church on stage will be a few iconic names in music, including Billy Strings and legendary singer-songwriter James Taylor. The concert not only promises to deliver unforgettable performances but also direct support for those affected by the storm.

Ticket Information

Tickets for this monumental evening will go on sale Thursday, October 10, at 10 a.m. and can be purchased through various ticket outlets. All proceeds from the concert, in addition to sponsorships, will be allocated to Church's Chief Cares Foundation and four selected charities chosen by Combs. Among these are highly regarded organizations such as Samaritan's Purse, Manna Food Bank, and Second Harvest Food Bank of Northwest North Carolina.

Heartfelt Messages from the Artists

In a heartfelt message, Combs expressed gratitude to the community and those involved in organizing the concert: “I told y’all I had something big planned for Carolina. This concert took so much planning, work, and coordination from so many people. I’m so thankful to everyone who helped make this a possibility on such short notice.”

Community Support

The concert's announcement came just 10 days after Combs hinted at a special undertaking for his home state. Panthers owners, David and Nicole Tepper, have generously offered the stadium as a venue while also pledging an initial $3 million commitment to support relief efforts, underlining their dedication to the Carolinian community during this challenging time.

Eric Church's Contribution

Moreover, the philanthropic spirit doesn't stop there! Eric Church has also significantly contributed to the recovery efforts by signing away the publishing rights to his new song, “Darkest Hour.” This selfless act ensures that the royalties from the song are directed towards helping North Carolina bounce back after the disaster.

Conclusion

As we eagerly anticipate this incredible concert, let’s come together to support our neighbors in need and show the strength and resilience of our Carolinian community. Don’t miss out on what promises to be an unforgettable night filled with powerful performances and heartfelt contributions to a vital cause!
