Garth Brooks and Jellyroll are the headliners for Billboard’s inaugural Billboard Country Live in Concert. The two-day event will take place June 6th through the 7th in Nashville.
The Billboard Country Live in Concert is on the 6th while Billboard Country Live in Conversation takes place on the 7th. The former is a series of concerts. The latter is a question and answering panel featuring Garth Brooks and other famous country artists. Said artists include Carly Pearce, Bailey Zimmerman, Brian Kelley, Lauren Alaina, Megan Moroney and Lady A’s Hillary Scott. Quite a stacked line-up, and that’s just for the panel. For the concert, Nate Smith opens Jellyroll’s show.
Courtesy of a Billboard article, we have a statement on the event from an executive editor of Billboard.
“We’re thrilled to launch the first year of Billboard Country Live with acts that have something to say and sing about,” said Melinda Newman, Executive Editor of Billboard, West Coast and Nashville. “From Jelly Roll performing in a small setting to discussions with some of the biggest names in country including Garth Brooks, it’s our privilege to highlight the tremendous talent that thrives in Nashville with premier programming we hope will bring people back for years to come.”
