I had never seen him in concert before so he was someone I was looking forward to watching. It was pretty cool to see what it was like behind the scenes and how a televised show comes together.īrad Paisley kick started the show with a bang. Cameras were set all around the arena and throughout the show there were segments of staged cheering and applause conducted by Bobby Bones and Jennifer Nettles themselves. This aspect actually made the event more special because I felt like I was a part of something big. Given that, walking into the stadium I was not expecting to see huge cameras pointing in every direction or camera crew pacing the floor.
What I did not realize was that the concert was actually being filmed to air on NBC May 27 th.
Clearly, this was not an event to be missed. John Sykes, President of iHeartMedia Entertainment Enterprises, shared with Rolling Stone that “Every single one of these artists can headline an arena or stadium on their own, but on this night they will share the stage to celebrate the amazing music on our iHeartRadio country stations”. It is sister concert to the iHeartRadio Music Festival held in Las Vegas and the iHeartRadio Jingle Ball Concert Tour. The iHeartRadio Country Music Festival is one of the largest and grandest country music festivals in the country and Austin has been lucky enough to host it for the second year in a row. It was only fitting that the newest and hottest artists in country music traveled to the “Live Music Capital of the World” for a concert of a lifetime. This year it included Justin Moore, Brad Paisley, Rascal Flatts, Tyler Farr, Sam Hunt, The Band Perry, Little Big Town, Brantley Gilbert, Dierks Bentley, Darius Rucker, and the icing on the cake was Tim McGraw. Hosted by Bobby Bones, Jennifer Nettles of Sugarland, and Darius Rucker this festival was a special once in a lifetime event with a stellar all-star lineup. To say it was an extraordinary showcase is an understatement. This weekend I was lucky enough to attend the 2 nd annual iHeartRadio Country Music Festival here in Austin.
