Earlier this week, we reported that various country music stars were stepping up to help victims of Hurricane Helene. Now, Luke Combs and Eric Church are joining them by heading back to their home state of North Carolina to perform at a relief concert for Hurricane Helene victims.

Combs And Church Team Up For Benefit Concert

Combs and Church are teaming up with bluegrass musician Billy Strings and legendary singer-songwriter James Taylor for Concert for Carolina. This event will take place on October 26 at the Bank of America Stadium in Charlotte, North Carolina.

David Tepper and his wife, Nicole Tepper, owners of the Carolina Panthers, Charlotte FC, and Bank of America Stadium immediately offered up their venue when they heard about a concert to benefit victims of Hurricane Helene.

“When Luke first approached us with the idea for a concert benefitting relief efforts in the region, we felt compelled to open the doors of Bank of America Stadium for this special moment,” Nicole told Fox News.

“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,” she later added.

The couple previously donated $3 million to Hurricane Helene relief efforts through The David and Nicole Tepper Foundation. The concert will be hosted by ESPN’s Marty Smith and Barstool Sports’ Caleb Pressley. It is believed that more artists will be announced in the weeks to come.

“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,” said Explore Asheville, which is presenting this event.

Combs Speaks Out

Combs and Church are both natives of North Carolina. The former was raised in Asheville, while the latter is from Granite Falls. Combs will be donating his proceeds from this concert to “Samaritan’s Purse, Manna Food Bank and Second Harvest Food Bank of Northwest NC, as well as one more organization still to be announced.”

“I told y’all I had something big planned for Carolina,” Combs wrote on Instagram. “One of the ways we’re helping is a benefit concert at Bank of America Stadium on Oct. 26th! This concert took so much planning, work, and coordination from so many people.”

“I’m so thankful to everyone who helped make this a possibility on such short notice,” he added. “Tickets will go on sale this Thursday and 100% of all proceeds will be going directly to those who need it most.”

Church Steps Up

Meanwhile, as for Church’s proceeds, he’s “focused on helping established charities and organizations that are well managed, organized and can expedite aid directly to the families affected by Hurricane Helene.”

“This is my home. It’s in every fiber of who I am,” Church wrote in his own Instagram post. “Our family members, friends, neighbors and communities are in dire need. I’m honored to share the stage with an incredible lineup in order to help meet those needs. Through the dark, light will shine.”

Hurricane Helene killed at least 230 people, and it has particularly devastated North Carolina. God bless Combs, Church, and their fellow country music stars to help victims of this tragedy!
