Sheryl Crow, Keith Urban join Luke Combs, Eric Church and other NC artists for Helene concert

CHARLOTTE, N.C. (WTVD) -- North Carolina artists will headline a concert in Charlotte to raise money to support Hurricane Helene relief efforts.

The Category 4 storm that first struck Florida's Gulf Coast on September 26 before churning into the Carolinas and leaving a catastrophic trail of destruction. Helene is the deadliest hurricane to hit the mainland U.S. since Katrina, according to statistics from the National Hurricane Center.

Some of the worst destruction from Helene happened in the North Carolina mountains. More than half of the 200 deaths occurred in the Tar Heel state. Flooding in western North Carolina wiped out roads, homes, businesses and more.

Volunteers and relief organizations alike have flocked to the area to help those in need. People across the state and country have also already opened their wallets and donated funds to help the recovery.

ABC11 partnered with American Red Cross for a fundraiser starting on Oct. 3 which has already raised more than $148,000.

Now, some of the biggest names in entertainment are lending their talents to a push to collect even more help for Helene victims.

Luke Combs, Eric Church, James Taylor and Billy Strings are headlining a concert in Charlotte on Oct. 26 all to support relief efforts in the Carolinas. Some other major artists are lending their vocals to the cause. Sheryl Crow, Keith Urban and Bailey Zimmerman will hit the stage as part of the "Concert for Carolina" according to Tepper Entertainment.

Tickets go on sale at 10 a.m. on Oct. 10 for the concert, which will be held at Bank of America Stadium in Charlotte. In addition to the money raised from ticket sales, the event will also have an auction and raffle for various items that will support the cause.

All proceeds from the event, including sponsorships, will be split 50/50 between Combs and Church to distribute to organizations of their choosing. Combs plans to distribute the funds to Samaritan's Purse, Manna Food Bank, Second Harvest Food Bank of Northwest NC, and possibly more. Church's portion will all go to his Chief Cares organization.
