Some of North Carolina’s biggest stars are joining forces for a special event to support Hurricane Helene relief efforts. James Taylor, Luke Combs, and Eric Church will headline the “Concert for Carolina,” set to take place on Saturday, October 26, at Bank of America Stadium in uptown Charlotte. Tepper Sports & Entertainment announced Monday that all proceeds from the show will support recovery efforts across the Carolinas.

“When Luke first approached us with the idea for a concert benefiting relief efforts in the region, we felt compelled to open the doors of Bank of America Stadium for this special moment,” David and Nicole Tepper said on Monday. “Every day, we are more inspired by the strength and resolve of our Carolina community, and we are grateful to join Luke, Eric, and our fellow Carolinians as we embark on the road to recovery together.”

Marty Smith and Caleb Pressley are hosting the concert, which Explore Asheville and the Buncombe County Tourism Development Authority present. Billy Strings, though a Michigan native, will also perform, having built a strong connection with the Carolinas through previous shows.

Eric Church, from Granite Falls, Luke Combs, from Asheville, and James Taylor, from Chapel Hill, are all proud North Carolina natives lending their voices to the cause.

Tickets for the concert go on sale this Thursday at 10 a.m. via Ticketmaster.

Donations can be made to The North Carolina Community Foundation Disaster Relief Fund or through organizations listed at www.concertforcarolina.com for those unable to attend but still eager to contribute.
