Garth Brooks, Toby Keith To Perform At Concert Benefiting Oklahoma Tornado Victims

NORMAN, Okla. -- Garth Brooks attends the Songwriters Hall of Fame 42nd Annual Induction and Awards at The New York Marriott Marquis Hotel in New York City on June 16, 2011
Caption A concert benefiting Oklahoma tornado victims is drawing some of the biggest names in country music.
Oklahoma natives Toby Keith and Garth Brooks are to be part of the star-studded lineup Saturday at the Oklahoma Twister Relief Concert at the University of Oklahoma’s Gaylord Family-Oklahoma Memorial Stadium.
Brooks and Trisha Yearwood are set to take the stage Saturday afternoon.

Other performers include Willie Nelson and Ronnie Dunn.
The money raised from ticket sales benefits the United Way of Central Oklahoma. That organization has established a fund to aid victims of the tornadoes and violent storms that pummeled the state in May and killed dozens of people.

A separate benefit concert last month hosted by Oklahoma native country music star Blake Shelton raised more than $6 million in donations and pledges.
