Koe Wetzel Headlines ‘Stronger Together’ Benefit Concert to Support Texas Flood Victims
IRVING, TEXAS — Thousands gathered at the Toyota Music Factory on Monday night for a powerful evening of music and unity as country music star Koe Wetzel headlined the ‘Stronger Together’ benefit concert, held to raise funds for victims of recent catastrophic flooding in central Texas.
Over 5,000 Attendees Show Up for a Cause
The sold-out event brought in over 5,000 attendees just ten days after tickets went on sale. Proceeds from ticket sales, merchandise, and a silent auction are being directed to the Kerr County Relief Fund, supporting families who lost everything in the devastating flood.
Live Nation, the event organizer, confirmed the overwhelming response from the community and fans of Koe Wetzel, who is originally from Texas. The mood at the venue was both emotional and uplifting, with many saying it was a chance to show support through music and unity.
Remembering the Victims of the Kerr County Flood
The concert came one month after flash floods swept through Kerr County, tragically taking the lives of dozens and leaving others missing. Among the missing are 8-year-old Cile Steward, Camp Mystic camper; Marble Falls Police Chief Michael Phillips, who was swept away while responding to an emergency; and Jeff Ramsey of Lewisville, whose wife Tanya was found days later.
“This isn’t just another show,” said one attendee from Rockwall. “It’s about standing with those families and doing what we can to help.”
United Cajun Navy on the Ground
The United Cajun Navy’s Texas chapter was deployed the day of the disaster and continues to support the recovery mission. Brian Trascher, the organization’s national vice president, shared the haunting reality of the scene:
“It was gut-wrenching. Seeing structures completely slabbed, debris everywhere… and knowing the missing we’re searching for were mostly young children.”
Trascher added that their team remains committed until “mission finish,” even if the ending is not what anyone hoped for.
A Night of Music, Memory, and Meaning
Koe Wetzel’s performance, though a fan favorite for his electric stage presence, took on a deeper tone. Throughout the night, Wetzel acknowledged the victims and thanked the crowd for showing up in force.
The concert wasn’t just a night out—it was a show of solidarity and a moment of collective healing. Many in the audience held back tears while singing along, knowing every note played was helping rebuild shattered lives.
