Joe Walsh has announced the details of the 2024 edition of his annual VetsAid concert. This year’s event will take place on November 11 at the UBS Arena in Belmont Park, NY, with announced guests Toto, Kool & the Gang, and Eric Church. A pre-sale begins on August 14 at 10 a.m. Tickets for the general public go on sale August 16 here.

Veterans and their wellbeing have always been important to Walsh, a Gold Star son himself. His father was a flight instructor for the first U.S. operational jet powered aircraft, the Lockheed F-80 Shooting Star, and died while stationed and on active duty on Okinawa when Walsh was 20 months old.

VetsAid hosted its inaugural show on September 20, 2017 with a concert in Fairfax, VA featuring performances by Walsh, Zac Brown Band, Keith Urban and Gary Clark Jr. The 2024 edition is the first in the eastern U.S. since that first event. Walsh’s wife, Marjorie Bach Walsh, a VetsAid co-founder, is from Queens, NY, and the daughter of a WWII Air Force veteran and Purple Heart recipient.

This is the eighth year of the benefit concert. 2023’s rocking event featured fellow classic rock legends Stephen Stills and Jeff Lynne.

In a statement shared on August 12, Walsh said, “VetsAid 2024 is all about family, friends and faith. I honor my wife’s family and their legacy of service in her home borough of Queens. 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!”
