Concert for Carolina will take place at Bank of America Stadium in Charlotte, North Carolina. The show kicks off at 5 p.m. ET, according to Concert for Carolina’s website. Anyone interested in tuning in can watch live on Veeps, make a donation, or participate in an auction and a raffle. a food drive will take place at the venue from 12 p.m. to 8 p.m. ET. All proceeds will support hurricane relief efforts in the Carolina region.
Combs said in an interview on Good Morning America that Church “was the first guy I called,” after seeing the aftermath of the storm in his home state on the news. Church — who also released “Darkest Hour,” his first solo release in three years, to help the people of North Carolina — agreed to come up with a plan.
