Additional Artists Join Toby Keith’s Twister Relief Concert

Toby Keith

Toby Keith is gearing up for a star-studded Twister Relief Concert that will aid his hometown of Moore, Oklahoma, which was hit by a devastating EF5 tornado last month. The superstar announced today that three additional artists have been added to the lineup.

Sammy Hagar, Mel Tillis and John Anderson will join Garth Brooks, Trisha Yearwood, Willie Nelson, and Ronnie Dunn for the July 6 concert at the University of Oklahoma’s Gaylord Family-Oklahoma Memorial Stadium in Norman, Okla.

“When Toby asked me to come on board, I immediately said yes!” Hagar said in a press release. “He’s put together a hell of a concert lineup to help raise funds for the brave and resilient people of Oklahoma. My job is going to be to help them take their minds off their problems and have some much-needed, good old-fashioned fun.”

Dunn is equally proud and excited to be on the bill as well. “The ultimate goal is to put as much money and aid in the hands of the people affected by the tornadoes throughout Oklahoma as we can,” he said. “Money is no substitute for the horrific loss of life that this disaster has caused but it can rebuild homes and aid in the replenishment of hope that is an indispensable element to recovery in so many ways. Even before Toby officially announced that he was going to do a benefit concert, we were working behind the scenes to do everything within our powers to enlist friends from the private and business sectors to join in and participate. The response has been overwhelming. Human compassion and decency has rallied to overshadow the vanity of celebrity. I’m proud to be joining Toby, Garth, Willie and Trisha to use what we do – performing music – to help.”

Tickets go on sale Friday, June 21 at 10am; all seats are $25, all inclusive, all seats reserved – eight-ticket purchase limit. Proceeds go to The United Way of Central Oklahoma May Tornadoes Relief Fund.
