Warren Haynes Christmas Jam Returns to Aid Asheville Helene Recovery

The 33rd annual Warren Haynes Presents: Christmas Jam is set to return to Asheville's ExploreAsheville.com Arena on December 13, 2025, after a cancellation in 2024 due to the devastation caused by Tropical Storm Helene. The star-studded lineup includes Warren Haynes & Friends, Stone Temple Pilots, MJ Lenderman & The Wind, Daniel Donato's Cosmic Country, and a special Phil Lesh tribute featuring Warren Haynes and other notable musicians. Proceeds from the event will support Asheville Area Habitat for Humanity and BeLoved Asheville, organizations leading local rebuilding and recovery efforts, as well as aid local tourism, hospitality industries, and small businesses still in need. Tickets will first be available through a local in-person presale starting October 23, followed by a nationwide presale on October 24, with general public sales beginning October 28. The Christmas Jam, founded by Warren Haynes, is a cherished Asheville holiday tradition that combines music, community spirit, and charitable giving, marking a significant event for the community's recovery and support. The 2024 cancellation led to a benefit concert called SOULSHINE at Madison Square Garden, which raised over $4.5 million for relief efforts.
