“Concert For Carolina” took place Saturday night (Oct. 26) in front of a record-breaking 82,193 in-person attendees and 7.1 million views from Veeps audience members worldwide, garnering $24,513,185 raised for Hurricane Helene relief efforts.

North Carolina natives Luke Combs, Eric Church and James Taylor headlined the event alongside Billy Strings at Bank of America Stadium in Charlotte, North Carolina. Additional performers included Sheryl Crow, Keith Urban, Bailey Zimmerman, The Avett Brothers, Scotty McCreery, Chase Rice, Parmalee and Wesko.

The “Concert For Carolina” team is still working to raise money to add to the grand total, with a silent auction that is now live. An array of items are available to bid on, including a signed guitar and shirt that Combs used during the show, a meet-and-greet with Church at an upcoming concert, signed NFL, NBA, NCAA and NASCAR gear, signed instruments, a variety of concert and game tickets, a selection of artwork, Yeti coolers and more.
