The lineup includes Jason Aldean, Dierks Bentley, Garth Brooks, Sam Hunt, Lady Antebellum, Little Big Town, Martina McBride, Reba, Chris Stapleton, George Strait, and Carrie Underwood.
Tickets go on sale Oct. 6 at 10 a.m. CT. Additional artists are to be announced before the event.
Banding together for the show are not just music stars but industry stars as well, with usual rivals Live Nation and AEG teaming up as official show promoters alongside organizer Red Light Management, Bridgestone Arena and the Nashville Predators NHL team.
Proceeds benefit The Country Rising Fund of the Community Foundation of Middle Tennessee, which was established to support victims of the 2017 that have wreaked havoc on millions.
The Country Rising benefit follows more recent benefits, such as the star-studded Hand In Hand telethon that helped raise more than $40 million and featured appearances and performances from the likes of Stevie Wonder, Blake Shelton, and George Strait, among others.
It was organized by artist manager Scooter Braun and Houston rapper Bun B.
