“Country Rising” Benefit Concert Expands Lineup & Will Now Support Victims of Las Vegas Shooting & Recent Hurricanes

Some of country music’s biggest stars—including Keith Urban, Jason Aldean, Dierks Bentley, Sam Hunt, Lady Antebellum, Little Big Town, Martina McBride, Reba McEntire, Chris Stapleton, George Strait and Carrie Underwood—will be taking part in a benefit concert to support those affected by the Las Vegas shooting on Oct. 1 and the recent hurricanes.

The star-studded lineup will perform on Nov. 12 at Nashville’s Bridgestone Arena as part of the Country Rising benefit. Garth Brooks will no longer be part of the Nashville event and will instead donate all of the proceeds to Country Rising from his two added concerts in Washington.

Country Rising will benefit the Country Rising Fund of the Community Foundation of Middle Tennessee, which was established to support charitable initiatives to help victims of the September 2017 hurricanes. Additionally, the funds will now also support victims of the shooting in Las Vegas on Oct. 1.

Tickets go on sale on Oct. 20 at 10 a.m. CT at Ticketmaster. Pre-sale tickets for Citi credit card members go on sale on Oct. 18 at 10 a.m. CT.
