 FIVE ADDED TO CMA FEST STAGE AT LP FIELD You’ve been asking for more, and here they are! Dierks Bentley, Brantley Gilbert, Alan Jackson, Scotty McCreery and Blake Shelton are set to rock LP Field at the 2012 CMA Music Festival with previously announced Jason Aldean, The Band Perry, Luke Bryan, Eric Church, Faith Hill, Lady Antebellum, Brad Paisley, Rascal Flatts, Carrie Underwood and Zac Brown Band. GET YOUR TICKETS NOW DIERKS BENTLEY recently debuted at No. 1 with his new album Home on the Billboard Country Chart. The second single off the album, “Home,” also continues to climb up the Top Five at radio following his last number one single, “Am I The Only One.” Buy the new album on iTunes or Amazon so you can be sure to sing along with him during CMA Fest! Newcomer BRANTLEY GILBERT has proven himself as a unique and successful songwriter with his Jason Aldean hit, “Dirt Road Anthem.” He recently scored a No. 1 of his own with “Country Must Be Country Wide.” Check out his music on iTunes and Amazon before you see him hit LP Field for the first time! ALAN JACKSON is no stranger to the LP Field stage. He joined Zac Brown Band’s set last year as they performed a crowd pleaser, “As She’s Walking Away.” Luckily, this year’s attendees will get a whole set out of this Country hit-making icon. Check out his latest single “So You Don’t Have to Love Me Anymore” on iTunes and Amazon. One of last year’s big surprises, SCOTTY McCREERY had his first ever experience at CMA Music Festival as he performed with Josh Turner… Not a bad way to make an entrance! You’ll have a full set by Scotty McCreery to look forward to this year. He’s had a little bit of practice being in front of a crowd by touring with Brad Paisley. Check out his debut platinum on iTunes and Amazon. Last, but definitely not least, BLAKE SHELTON will bring his fun attitude and entertain us all at CMA Fest. Since his debut release of “Austin” in 2001, the world has finally discovered what we’ve already known all along–Blake is a superstar. He’s had an exciting couple of years with his status on “The Voice,” five consecutive No. 1 hits and marrying fellow Country superstar, Miranda Lambert. If you don’t already own his latest album, Red River Blue, then you better get on it because you’re missing out! Purchase a copy on iTunes and Amazon. |
