Benefit concert at Nashville Palace featuring Collin Raye, Allie Colleen and more will support ARC’s work
NASHVILLE, Tenn., Sept. 8, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Animal Rescue Corps (ARC), a national nonprofit animal protection organization, is inviting animal advocates and country music fans out for a night of live music Sept. 27 at the Nashville Palace, with every ticket sold helping ARC save another life.
ARC’s Night at the Palace will feature performances by country music artists Collin Raye, Allie Colleen, Natalie Murphy, Angie K and Bobby Messano. Doors open at 6 p.m., and music begins at 6:30 p.m.
Proceeds from the evening will help ARC respond when animals are in need, whether that means getting a rescue team on the road, covering veterinary care or providing food and shelter for animals recovering at ARC’s Rescue Center outside Nashville.
“When animals need us, we go,” said Tim Woodward, executive director of Animal Rescue Corps. “That’s the promise we’ve made. This event gives people a chance to have fun while raising critical funds, and help us keep saying ‘yes’ when animals have nowhere else to turn. Every person who comes out to enjoy these amazing artists is helping make another rescue possible.”
ARC often steps in when local communities are facing cruelty cases or animal emergencies that are simply too large to handle alone. The organization provides the additional support and expertise needed to bring animals to safety and begin their recovery.
“There’s a lot of heart in Music City,” Woodward said. “You see it in the people who show up for animals, and you see it in the artists who are willing to lend their time and talent to a cause they believe in. This night is really about bringing all of those gifts together. We spend so much time focused on the work in front of us that it’s nice to have a night where we celebrate what this community makes possible.”
ARC’s Night at the Palace will be held at the Nashville Palace, 2611 McGavock Pike in Nashville.
General admission tickets are $65 in advance and $75 the day of the show. Rail seat tickets are $75 in advance and $85 the day of the show. VIP table seat tickets are $150 and include seating on the dance floor and a swag bag. To purchase tickets, visit outhousetickets.com/events/nashville-palace-arc-09272026/tickets.
