Eric Church to headline 2025 Mack, Jack & McConaughey Gala

The event will be held in April in Austin

Eric Church will headline the 13th Annual Mack, Jack & McConaughey (MJ&M) Gala on Thursday, April 24, 2025, at Austin City Limits Live at The Moody Theater in Austin, Texas. The joint fundraising effort of Academy Award-winning actor Matthew McConaughey, ACM Award-winning recording artist Jack Ingram, and coaching legend Mack Brown has raised over $61 million for charities dedicated to children’s education, health, and wellness.

Tickets go on sale on Friday, December 6th at 10 am local time.

“Eric Church is not only an incredible artist but also a true friend who has supported our mission from the beginning,” states Brown. “We’re fortunate to have him back to help us raise funds for the children and communities we serve.”

“Eric Church is one of those rare talents who brings something raw and real to every stage. His music speaks to people on a deeper level, and his commitment to making a difference aligns perfectly with the spirit of MJ&M,” adds McConaughey.

“He’s not just writing songs; he’s capturing life—the good, the bad, and everything in between,” Ingram comments. “I know this kind of talent will hit home with our Gala audience.”

The event will raise funds for CureDuchenne, Dell Children’s Medical Center, HeartGift, Just Keep Livin Foundation, and The Rise School of Austin.

The two-day event continues Friday, April 25th with a golf tournament and New York-style runway show featuring a collection from fashion designer, Carolina Herrera. On Friday evening, guests return to ACL Live at The Moody Theater to enjoy the best pickin’ party in Texas at the Jack & Friends concert. More details to follow.
