Charlotte, North Carolina, is feeling the impact of Hurricane Helene as the city rallies together to support those in need. The storm, which swept through the Southeast, left a significant mark on the region, particularly in Western North Carolina, where heavy flooding and destruction have been reported. But amidst the chaos, there’s a silver lining! Charlotte is hosting the “Concert for Carolina”, a benefit concert designed to raise funds for the storm victims.
On October 26, Bank of America Stadium will not just be a venue; it will transform into a hub of hope and community strength. North Carolina favorites, Luke Combs and Eric Church, are set to headline the concert, with an incredible lineup that also includes legends like James Taylor, Billy Strings, Sheryl Crow, Keith Urban, and Bailey Zimmerman. These musicians are coming together with a common goal—to aid their fellow North Carolinians in need.
Excitement is sky-high as tickets for the event are officially on sale! Fans were eager to grab their spots starting at 10 a.m. on a popular ticketing website, and the response has been overwhelming. With an eight-ticket limit per fan, the queue was long, and it seemed like everyone in town wanted to be a part of this charity effort. One fan reported still waiting in line at 10:55 a.m., with over 14,000 ahead, while others faced similar wait times, with some even pitching the idea of a second concert due to the massive interest.
This concert is not just about the music; it represents a community coming together. Proceeds from the show will be split between the Chief Cares Foundation established by Combs and Church. These funds will go directly toward various relief organizations, including Samaritan’s Purse, Manna Food Bank, Second Harvest Food Bank of Northwest NC, and Eblen Charities. In a heartfelt statement, Eric Church shared, “It’s [North Carolina] in every fiber of who I am… I’m honored to share the stage with an incredible lineup in order to help meet those needs. Through the dark, light will shine.”
So, how much can fans expect to pay for a ticket? Reports suggest that prices range widely, starting at around $95 for the least expensive seats, with high-end experiences reaching up to a staggering $2,000 for floor seats. It’s clear that this event promises not only a great time but also an opportunity to contribute to a greater cause!
While hopes are high for success this first concert, there is no confirmed word yet on whether a second show could be added due to the overwhelming demand. However, it’s known that a raffle and an auction will accompany the event, providing more chances for fans to contribute and engage.
If you’re in Charlotte or nearby, this is your chance to show support for the thousands affected by Hurricane Helene while enjoying some fantastic music. Tickets are available now, and as the concert day approaches, make sure to check for any updates or additional event details.
Join the community spirit of hope and resilience, and let’s bring some light to our neighbors in need. ♥️
