Blake Shelton will organize and headline the “Healing in the Heartland: Relief Benefit Concert” telethon on May 29, with proceeds going to victims of this week’s devastating tornado in Oklahoma.
The event will air live on NBC at 9 p.m. Eastern from the Chesapeake Energy Arena in Oklahoma City.
Miranda Lambert, Vince Gill, and Reba McEntire are set to join Shelton (an Oklahoma native and resident), with additional performers to be announced soon.
“Everyone has their way to help, and mine as an entertainer is to perform to help raise money and awareness for this tragedy,” Shelton said in a statement. “This is why I want to do this special and especially hold it in Oklahoma City, which is near ground zero.”
The event will raise money for the United Way of Central Oklahoma.
Tickets will go on sale for $25 apiece at 10 a.m. Central on Saturday, May 25.
