Now in its tenth year, VetsAid hosted its inaugural show September 20, 2017 with a concert at the EagleBank Arena in Fairfax, VA featuring performances by Walsh, Zac Brown Band, Keith Urban and Gary Clark Jr. In 2018, VetsAid traveled to Tacoma, WA with a sell-out event featuring Walsh, Don Henley, James Taylor, Chris Stapleton, Haim and special guest Ringo Starr. In 2019, Houston, TX welcomed VetsAid for a blockbuster show with Walsh, ZZ Top, The Doobie Brothers, Jason Isbell & The 400 Unit, Sheryl Crow and Brad Paisley. The pandemic moved the festival online in 2020 and 2021 with intimate performances from Eddie Vedder, James Hetfield, Gwen Stefani and nearly 40 other artists from across the United States as well as the debut of new music from Walsh in his studio available via livestream. VetsAid 2022 was an instant sell-out all-Ohio affair with blistering sets from a newly reunited James Gang, NIN, The Black Keys and The Breeders with special guest Dave Grohl in Columbus, OH. 2023 brought VetsAid to San Diego with legendary sets by Jeff Lynne’s ELO, The War of Drugs, The Flaming Lips and Lucius. VetsAid 2025 brought Joe to his hometown of Wichita, KS for a country and blues rock hootenanny with Vince Gill, Susan Tedeschi, Derek Trucks, Nathaniel Rateliff, Ryan Bingham and the Texas Gentlemen and Jimmy Webb. VetsAid is back and better than ever recommitted to curating an exclusive once-in-a-lifetime festival lineup in a different American city each year with a large veteran and military population and this year the rock and roll circus hits Sin City.

As every year, all net proceeds from the concert will go directly to the veterans’ services charities selected through a vetting process coordinated in tandem with the Combined Arms Institute. To date, VetsAid has disbursed more than $5,000,000 in grants. In 2027, VetsAid plans to disburse grants exclusively to organizations based in Nevada or with operations on the ground in Nevada; grant applications are open now via the VetsAid website (www.vetsaid.org/grants).

Veterans and their wellbeing have always been important to Walsh, a Gold Star son himself. His father was a flight instructor for the first US operational jet powered aircraft, the Lockheed F-80 Shooting Star, and died while stationed and on active duty on Okinawa when Walsh was 20 months old.

Walsh aims to use this platform to raise funds and awareness for the still urgent and significant needs of our returning soldiers and their families. Through the establishment of VetsAid and this annual benefit concert, he aims to give back to those who have given so much in sacrifice for this country.
