ASHEVILLE, N.C. (828newsNOW) — The annual Warren Haynes Presents: Christmas Jam will return to Asheville’s ExploreAsheville.com Arena on Saturday, Dec. 13, with a star-studded lineup and a focus on helping the community recover from Tropical Storm Helene.

This year’s performers include Warren Haynes & Friends, Stone Temple Pilots, MJ Lenderman & The Wind, Daniel Donato’s Cosmic Country, and a special Phil Lesh tribute featuring Warren Haynes, Grahame Lesh, Jimmy Herring, John Molo, and Jason Crosby.

Proceeds from the 2025 Christmas Jam will benefit Asheville Area Habitat for Humanity and BeLoved Asheville, two organizations leading local rebuilding and recovery efforts following the storm.

A local in-person presale will open at 10 a.m. Thursday, Oct. 23, at the ExploreAsheville.com Arena box office to give Asheville-area residents first access to tickets. A nationwide presale follows on Oct. 24, with public ticket sales beginning Oct. 28 at xmasjam.com.
