Another round of artists joined the star-studded Concert for Carolina event, per an announcement on Tuesday (October 15).

Luke Combs, Eric Church, Billy Strings and James Taylor will headline the benefit concert. Other singer-songwriters taking the stage include Sheryl Crow, Keith Urban, Bailey Zimmerman, The Avett Brothers, Scotty McCreery, Chase Rice and Parmalee. ESPN’s Marty Smith and Barstool Sports’ Caleb Pressley will host Concert for Carolina. Proceeds from the sold-out show will support hurricane relief efforts in the area.

McCreery, who is from Garner, North Carolina, said he “couldn’t miss this.” Parmalee said the band is “so blessed to be a part of this show to help the people of our home state of North Carolina. 💙💙”

Combs said during an interview on Good Morning America that Church “was the first guy I called,” after observing the aftermath of the storm. The two artists quickly came up with a plan and announced Concert for Carolina. Church also delivered his first solo release in three years, “Darkest Hour,” to support his home state.

Concert for Carolina quickly sold out; however, viewers can still tune in to watch the event. The livestream will be available on Veeps, and “will provide an additional opportunity to raise as much money as possible for Hurricane Helene relief efforts,” per a press release issued Tuesday. The Concert for Carolina livestream will be free to those impacted by Hurricane Helene. Tickets are $24.99 with an option to provide an additional donation. The organizations supported with ticket proceeds, selected by Church and Combs, include: Samaritan’s Purse, Manna Food Bank, Second Harvest Food Bank of Northwest NC, Eblen Charities and organizations supported by Chief Cares, the press release states.

Concert for Carolina will take place at Bank of America Stadium on Saturday, October 26.
