COUNTRY STARS UNITE FOR TOBY KEITH TRIBUTE

Some of the biggest names in country will assemble 8/28 for the tribute concert "Toby Keith: American Icon," which will air live from Nashville's Bridgestone Arena on NBC.

Among those honoring Keith, who died in February at age 62 after battling stomach cancer, are Luke Bryan, Eric Church, Ashley McBryde, Parker McCollum, Jelly Roll, Darius Rucker, Carrie Underwood, Lainey Wilson and The War and Treaty.

Tickets to the event, promoted by Live Nation, go on sale 6/28. A portion of the proceeds will benefit the Toby Keith Foundation's OK Kids Korral and the Monroe Carell Jr. Children's Hospital at Vanderbilt.

"Toby Keith: American Icon" is being produced by UMG Nashville’s Sing Me Back Home Productions and ITV America’s Thinkfactory Media in association with Alex Coletti Productions. It was packaged by Keith's longtime agents at UTA.
