The Concert For Carolina, featuring Luke Combs, Eric Church, Billy Strings, James Taylor and more, has partnered with Veeps, which will livestream the Oct. 26 benefit, to ensure all fans will be able to see the show after tickets for the show at the 75,000-capacity Bank of America Stadium in Charlotte, North Carolina, immediately sold out.

The addition of the livestream, which will be available worldwide and free to those in the affected areas thanks to Veeps’ geotargeting, ensures that not only fans can see the show but provides an additional opportunity to raise as much money as possible for Hurricane Helene relief efforts in the region devastated by massive floods caused by the storm. The link to sign up for the livestream can be found HERE.

For those not directly impacted, the livestream will cost $24.99 with an option for additional donations available. All proceeds from the stream will go to the same organizations that Combs and Church selected for ticket sales to benefit: Samaritan’s Purse, Manna Food Bank, Second Harvest Food Bank of Northwest NC, Eblen Charities and the organizations supported by Chief Cares. 

Since the initial Concert For Carolina lineup was announced, North Carolina natives The Avett Brothers, Scotty McCreery, Chase Rice and Parmalee have now joined the show, which will now also include performances by Sheryl Crow, Keith Urban and Bailey Zimmerman. . 

Presented by Explore Asheville and the Buncombe County Tourism Development Authority, Concert For Carolina will take place at Charlotte’s Bank of America Stadium, home of the NFL’s Carolina Panthers and Major League Soccer’s Charlotte FC. The event will be hosted by ESPN’s Marty Smith and Barstool Sports’ Caleb Pressley. 

Concert for Carolina is possible with the support and generosity of sponsors including David and Nicole Tepper and Tepper Sports & Entertainment, Explore Asheville, Biltmore Estate, T-Mobile, Jack Daniel’s, Whataburger, Miller Lite, Blue Cross and Blue Shield of North Carolina, Belk, Lowe’s, Atrium Health, Tractor Supply Company, Bank of America, American Airlines, Food Lion, Duke’s Mayo, GE Aerospace, Harris Teeter, Pinnacle Financial Partners, United Healthcare, Bud Light, Preferred Parking and Gildan.  

Concert For Carolina was spearheaded by Luke Combs, who approached Tepper Sports and Entertainment about the idea of holding a stadium benefit, according to David Tepper, owner of the Panthers and Charlotte FC. At that point, TSE “felt compelled to open the doors of Bank of America Stadium for this special moment,” Tepper said in a prepared statement.

Combs and Church are both North Carolina natives. On his own, Combs, born in Huntersville and raised in Asheville, attended Appalachian State in Boone, which along with Asheville, were among the communities that sustained heavy damage from last week’s storm. Combs headlined a concert at the school’s Kidd Brewer Stadium in 2021 and played consecutive sold-out nights at BOA Stadium in 2023.

Church, a native of Granite Falls, about 70 miles east of Asheville, started his career in western North Carolina, before relocating to Nashville. He recorded his most recent album, the three-part Heart & Soul, in Banner Elk, North Carolina. In 2016, Church was inducted into the North Carolina Music Hall of Fame. Two years ago, he was awarded the North Carolina Award, the state’s highest civilian honor.
