Sunday’s
superstar headliner Luke Bryan took things up another gear as Karen
Fairchild from Little Big Town took the stage with him for an
electrifying rendition of their chart-topping duet “Home Alone
Tonight.” As the unforgettable final night continued, the pair were
then joined by Fairchild’s bandmates for a heartfelt version of Ed
Sheeran’s “Thinking Out Loud” mashed up with Marvin Gaye’s “Let’s Get It
On,” followed by a collaboration with Bryan and Dustin Lynch. The pair
teamed up for a rowdy version of Brooks & Dunn’s infamous and
appropriate “Play Somethin’ Country.”
“Selling out for a second year in a row already is crazy,” said Brian
O’Connell, President Of Country Touring at Live Nation. “There were
some really special moments throughout the weekend and I don’’t think
the fans took a breath. We have an amazing partner in MGM Resorts, who
really understand our vision for Route 91 Harvest and we are excited to
be able to let fans know when we’ll be back in 2017!”
Engaging closely with fans across social media platforms since its
establishment just two short years ago, Route 91 Harvest continues to
tailor the festival experience to those new and returning. Standout fan
opportunities this year included House Of Blues Experience where NFL
fans could enjoy the festival, but also not miss those all-important
games. Additionally, spirited attendees were able to partake in “Silent
Disco Line Dancing” that saw many flock to join in.
The festival’s second stage, known as “Next From Nashville,” furthered
its status as it shone throughout the weekend with a laundry list of the
genre’s most buzzed about artists captivated new audiences. Fans can
also plan to return in 2017 as it was announced last night that Route 91
Harvest will return for a fourth year on Sept. 29 through Oct. 1. For
