Joe Walsh‘s third annual VetsAid benefit concert is set to take place at Houston, TX’s Toyota Center on Sunday, November 10th.
For this year’s event, the Eagles guitarist will be joined by ZZ Top, Jason Isbell & The 400 Unit, Sheryl Crow, and Brad Paisley. The initial announcement notes that more artists are expected to be announced in the coming weeks.
“It’s about time we brought VetsAid down to Texas,” Walsh explained in a statement, “and who better to share the stage with than my old buddies and Houston’s own ZZ Top! With Brad, Sheryl, Jason and more special guests to be announced joining us too this will be yet another historic night of incredible music for our vets… This is a night where all are welcome to celebrate the things that unite us as Americans: good friends, open hearts and great music!”
Joe Walsh’s inaugural VetsAid benefit concert took place in 2017 at Fairfax, VA’s EagleBank Arena and featured an all-star cast including Zac Brown Band, Keith Urban, and Gary Clark Jr. Last year, Walsh held the concert at Tacoma, WA’s Tacoma Dome, which featured Joe alongside Don Henley, James Taylor, Chris Stapleton, Haim, and surprise guest Ringo Starr.
Every year, all net proceeds from the concert will go directly to the veterans’ services charities selected through a vetting process coordinated in tandem with the National Association of Veterans Serving Organizations (NAVSO). In its first two years, VetsAid has disbursed nearly $1.2M in grants to veterans’ services organizations on the national level and the regional level with a focus on the festival’s host city.
Tickets for the event go on sale this Friday, August 16th at 10 a.m. (CST).
