LAS
VEGAS – The Academy of Country Music announces
the addition of ACM Party for a Cause Festival, a 2-day outdoor
music festival during The Week Vegas Goes Country® leading
up to the 48th ANNUAL ACADEMY OF COUNTRY MUSIC AWARDS on April
7, 2013. The ACM Party for a Cause Festival features a line-up
of performances by country’s top hit makers and some of
this year’s ACM Award nominees, all in the name of raising
awareness and funds for a variety of charities. Donations on behalf
of Big Machine Label Group, General Mills and ACM Lifting Lives®
will be made to the charities represented during this celebratory
weekend for fans.
Friday’s line-up will be sponsored by Outnumber Hunger,
an initiative from General Mills, Big Machine Label Group and
Feeding America. In its second year, Outnumber Hunger is a program
that helps fight hunger in local communities by helping Feeding
America secure meals for its network of local food banks. Concert
attendees will have the opportunity to help secure meals for Feed
America through special on-site activities. Saturday will be hosted
by Kix Brooks and will include a presentation of charitable donations
to the military-inspired non-profit organizations Wounded Warrior
Project®, Folds of Honor and Nellis Air Force Base Youth Education
Programs.
Scheduled to appear on Friday, April 5th is headliner The Band
Perry, along with performers Greg Bates, Brantley Gilbert, Justin
Moore, Cassadee Pope and Florida Georgia Line. Scheduled for Saturday,
April 6th is headliner Dierks Bentley, along with performers Lee
Brice, Kix Brooks, Hunter Hayes, Dustin Lynch, Eli Young Band
and Love and Theft. The full schedule for THE ACM EXPERIENCE and
tickets for Party for a Cause, as well as room and ticket packages,

“Party for a Cause Festival is adding another layer to THE

has a long history of supporting charitable causes, and we’re
