Great Cover Up Tickets

The Great Cover Up is Raleigh’s longstanding annual charity concert series hosted by Paul Siler and Cheetie Kumar. For more than two decades, local musicians transform into famous acts, delivering 15-20 minute tribute sets that entertain while supporting a worthy cause. The event is anchored at Kings Raleigh, located at 14 W Martin St, Raleigh, NC 27601, and has grown from a Hurricane Floyd relief fundraiser into a community tradition that has featured over 500 cover bands by 2023.

Proceeds from the final night support BeLoved Asheville, reflecting a commitment to local relief and community impact. The Great Cover Up has earned national recognition as a PBS North Carolina original, with a 2025 documentary on PBS/North Carolina Channel and extensive coverage in the local press.

Whether you’re a longtime attendee or a first-time supporter, secure your seats early and join a city-wide audience that loves live music, community spirit, and the power of local collaboration.
