The 2025 Warren Haynes Presents: The Christmas Jam is set to return on December 13, 2025, at the ExploreAsheville.com Arena in Asheville, North Carolina. Following the cancellation of the 2024 event due to the devastation caused by Hurricane Helene, this year’s concert promises to be especially meaningful as it marks the first Christmas Jam since the hurricane impacted Asheville.
This year’s lineup features notable headliners including Warren Haynes & Friends and Stone Temple Pilots, along with MJ Lenderman & The Wind and Daniel Donato’s Cosmic Country. Furthermore, a special tribute to Phil Lesh is scheduled, which will include performances by Grahame Lesh and renowned musicians such as Jimmy Herring, John Molo, and Jason Crosby.
Funds raised from the Christmas Jam will support vital local initiatives, including Habitat for Humanity, BeLoved Asheville, and various local businesses struggling in the aftermath of Hurricane Helene. Over its more than 35-year history, the Christmas Jam has raised nearly $3 million for Asheville Area Habitat for Humanity, contributing to the construction of over 50 homes.
The Christmas Jam has been a fixture in Asheville since its inception in 1988, with a long-standing tradition focused on giving back to the community. High-profile past performers at the event have included Counting Crows, Dave Grohl, Eric Church, and Sheryl Crow.
