Concert for Carolina to Aid Hurricane Helene

Country stars Luke Combs and Eric Church are organizing a 'Concert for Carolina' to support communities affected by Hurricane Helene, scheduled for October 26 at Bank of America Stadium in Charlotte, North Carolina. The event, featuring performances by James Taylor, Billy Strings, and others, will be hosted by ESPN's Marty Smith and Barstool Sports' Caleb Pressley. All proceeds will be evenly split between Combs and Church's Chief Cares Foundation, benefiting organizations focused on immediate and long-term relief efforts. Combs plans to allocate funds to Samaritan's Purse, Manna Food Bank, and Second Harvest Food Bank, while Church intends to support established charities addressing infrastructure needs. Additional artists are expected to join the lineup, and tickets are set to go on sale on October 10. This concert reflects the musicians' commitment to aiding recovery in the Carolinas and the Southeast, with Luke Combs emphasizing the personal connection to his home region.
