Luke Combs, Eric Church, Billy Strings, and James Taylor have helped organize the Concert for Carolina, a benefit for Hurricane Helene relief that is set to take place on October 26 at the Bank of America Stadium in Charlotte, North Carolina. Combs, Church, and Taylor all grew up in North Carolina, while Strings has a long history performing in the state. Concert for Carolina will be co-hosted by ESPN’s Marty Smith and Barstool Sports’ Caleb Pressley, and is presented by Explore Asheville and the Buncombe County Tourism Development Authority. Tickets go on sale on Thursday (October 10) at 10 a.m. ET via the Concert for Carolina website, with a fundraising raffle and auction coming soon, along with additional artists joining the bill.
Combs shared the benefit show info on Instagram, writing, “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. 100% of all proceeds will be going directly to those who need it most.” (Billboard)
