Bailey Zimmerman, along with Sheryl Crow and Keith Urban will join Luke Combs, Eric Church, Billy Strings and James Taylor for the Concert for Carolina at Charlotte’s Bank of America Stadium on Saturday, 26 October, with additional artists to be announced soon. The star-studded benefit show was first announced this past Monday and was met with an outpouring of support from artists, fans and partners nationwide.
Tickets for the show, which will be hosted by ESPN’s Marty Smith and Barstool Sports’ Caleb Pressley and presented by Explore Asheville and the Buncombe County Tourism Development Authority, will go on-sale tomorrow, October 10 at 10:00am ET. Full details can be found at the event’s official website.
All proceeds from the event, including sponsorships, will be split 50/50 between Combs and Church’s Chief Cares Foundation to administer to organizations of their choosing in support of relief efforts across the Carolinas and the Southeast.
Luke Combs’ portion will be distributed between Samaritan’s Purse, Manna Food Bank and Second Harvest Food Bank of Northwest NC and Eblen Charities.
Eric Church’s Chief Cares is focused on helping established charities and organizations that are well managed, organized and can expedite aid directly to the families affected by Hurricane Helene.
