Joe Walsh has recruited Eric Church, Kool & the Gang and Toto for his eighth annual VetsAid concert.
The event, where Walsh will also perform, will take place Nov. 11 at UBS Arena in Belmont Park, New York.
VetsAid 2024 is returning to the East Coast since its 2017 debut in Northern Virginia. This year’s show serves as a homecoming for Walsh’s wife and VetsAid co-founder, Marjorie Walsh, who is a native of Rosedale, Queens, and a proud daughter of a WWII Air Force veteran and Purple Heart recipient.

“VetsAid 2024 is all about family, friends and faith,” the Kennedy Center Honor recipient and Grammy winner tells The Hollywood Reporter in a statement. “I honor my wife’s family and their legacy of service in her home borough of Queens. I honor and thank my extraordinary friends Eric Church (the Chief!), Toto and Kool & the Gang. I honor our collective faith in the power of music to bring fans of diverse backgrounds together in celebration and our faith in the power of love to unite us all as Americans to support a population of veterans that has sacrificed so much and asked for so little in return. We’ve got something for everyone at VetsAid this year — country, pop, rock, funk and gospel — so all aboard!”
Tickets go on sale Friday, starting at $54.50, and all net proceeds will benefit various veterans’ services charities. Past VetsAid performers include Don Henley, Ringo Starr, James Taylor, Sheryl Crow, Chris Stapleton, Eddie Vedder, Keith Urban, the Black Keys and Gary Clark Jr.
