In honor of the late Toby Keith, on July 29, Nashville will come together for the Allstar Celebration. Country music's biggest stars will come together at the Bridgestone Arena in Nashville, Tenn. The event will then air on NBC August 28 at 8 p.m. ET.
The live concert event and NBC special, 'Toby Keith: American Icon,' are being created by UMG Nashville’s Sing Me Back Home Productions and ITV America’s Thinkfactory Media, in collaboration with Alex Coletti Productions.
A portion of the proceeds from ticket sales will go towards supporting The Toby Keith Foundation' s OK Kids Korral and Monroe Carell Jr. Children's Hospital at Vanderbilt. OK Kids Korral is a project of the Toby Keith Foundation. The facility offers a no-cost, home-like environment for families with children undergoing cancer treatment in Oklahoma City. Keith founded the OK Kids Korral following the passing of his former bandmate and road manager's daughter from cancer in 2003, serving as his inspiration.
Toby lost his battle to stomach cancer earlier this year at the age of 62. Although he is no longer able to oversee the operations of his foundation, it continues to raise money and contribute to the things that Keith loved and cared about the most.
Tickets went on sale on June 28 and are still available on Ticketmaster.
The Lineup
The 'Allstar" celebration is no joke--the lineup is ALL stars. Luke Bryan, Eric Church, Ashley McBryde, Parker McCollum, Jelly Roll, Darius Rucker, Carrie Underwood, Lainey Wilson, The War and Treaty and more will make appearances at Bridgestone to honor the 'Should've Been a Cowboy' singer.
In regular country music fashion, all of these stars have expressed their love and respect for Keith and his music and are honored to play at such an event.
One of the Greatest - Toby Keith
Toby Keith left an indelible mark on the country music genre with his powerful storytelling and distinctive voice. He was born an Oklahoma man and made a breakthrough appearance in the music world in the early 1990s' with his debut single, 'Should've Been A Cowboy.' That song is still arguably one of the most widely known country songs of all time. He topped the charts and set himself up for years of success.
Known for his patriotic anthems like "Courtesy of the Red, White and Blue (The Angry American)" and "American Soldier," Keith's music often celebrates American values and pays tribute to the armed forces. His career spans numerous chart-toppers, including "How Do You Like Me Now?!", "Beer for My Horses" (featuring Willie Nelson), and "As Good as I Once Was." Beyond his chart success, Keith's influence extends through his dynamic live performances and his dedication to charitable efforts, such as founding The Toby Keith Foundation.
