Country music stars are coming together for a powerful cause this Giving Tuesday. On December 2, HARDY, Miranda Lambert, Dierks Bentley, Lanie Gardner, and McCoy Moore will take the stage at Nashville’s newest concert venue The Pinnacle for the American Cancer Society’s 2025 Country vs. Cancer concert.

Presented by the HARDY Fund and live concert series Whiskey Jam, the one-night-only event is dedicated to raising funds for the American Cancer Society (ACS), to support saving lives. According to ACS, every 15 seconds, someone in the U.S. is diagnosed with cancer—a disease that impacts one in three people. In an effort to help fight this devastating reality, these country acts will take the stage to deliver a night of music and hope. Those who attend can expect a night full of unforgettable performances, heartfelt moments within a community that is committed to the cause.

All net proceeds from Country vs. Cancer will go towards ACS’s ongoing mission. The funds will fuel groundbreaking research, expand access to life-saving treatments, and provide trusted support services to cancer patients and their families, no matter where they live. Through these efforts, the American Cancer Society continues to make a vital difference in the lives of people facing cancer, from the moment of diagnosis through every step of treatment and recovery.

HARDY, one of the acts taking the time out of his busy scheduled to help a good cause, expressed his excitement to be a part of the event and help raise awareness and funds for the American Cancer Society.

“I am beyond honored and excited to be a part of Country vs. Cancer this year on December 2,” said HARDY. “Cancer is a terrible thing, it affects so many people and so many families. Anything I can do to give back and make people feel better in any type of way, I’m here for. Can’t wait for the event, I’ll see you guys there!”

Country vs. Cancer will offer a platform to those whose lives have been impacted by cancer, including survivors, caregivers, and patent advocates working to make a difference.

“This concert brings people together to amplify hope and help fund patient programs, research, and advocacy that can save lives,” said Dr. Arif Kamal, chief patient officer at the American Cancer Society. “We are incredibly grateful to HARDY and all the performers for bringing awareness to the burden of cancer and the progress we can make when we unite for a common cause. As a country music fan, I for one am excited to join thousands of others for a fun night in support of ACS’ vision to end cancer as we know it, for everyone.”

Country vs. Cancer is being hosted in partnership with HARDY Fund, which supports community programs in Mississippi and Tennessee, and Whiskey Jam, and produced by TRACK mgmt and Kevin Meads of WME.
