On this gloomy day, we are day dreaming of the upcoming ACM fun that will soon visit our fabulous city next month. Here is a hot ticket event that you don't want to miss! It's an extra special night in that both Dallas and Fort Worth will be a part of the action -- a star-studded event at two locations benefiting one worthy cause.
The Academy of Country Music’s
philanthropic arm, ACM Lifting Lives®, with country music
luminaries Garth Brooks and Trisha Yearwood will host its
first-ever fundraising gala on April 17, 2015, just two days before the 50th Academy of Country Music
Awards. The “One Night, Two Cities,
All Music” gala presented by Mattress Firm will consist of two shows taking
place simultaneously at the Omni Dallas
Hotel and the Fort Worth Zoo.
The Omni Dallas Hotel
gala will feature headliner and ACM Awards nominees Lady Antebellum,
and a special performance by Hunter Hayes. Fort Worth Zoo will
feature ACM Awards nominees including headliner Keith Urban, and a
special performance by Little Big Town. Nancy O’Dell, Emmy®-award winning journalist and co-host of Entertainment Tonight, will join Brooks
and Yearwood to co-host the Fort Worth gala.
Garth and Trisha
will alternate between both locations throughout the evening to
entertain attendees in Dallas and Fort Worth. A host of celebrities along with prominent
music industry and entertainment executives are scheduled to attend. The
inaugural gala will kick off with a cocktail reception, followed by a dinner,
live auction and a stellar line-up of performances by country music’s most
celebrated artists.
ACM Lifting Lives will be donating funds raised from the gala to several
Texas-based organizations including Garth Brooks’ charity, Teammates for
Kids and the Child Life Zones in Children’s Health of Dallas and
Cook Children’s of Fort Worth.
The gala is among the highly-anticipated events held during ACM
Awards week.
The awards ceremony itself, co-hosted by Blake Shelton and Luke Bryan, will broadcast LIVE
from AT&T Stadium in Arlington, TX on Sunday, April 19, 2015 at 8:00 PM
live ET/delayed PT on CBS.

gala, including ticket inquiries and sponsorship opportunities, please contact
