July 18, 2008 — Sugarland, Faith Hill, Keith Urban and Carrie Underwood are among a host of artists who’ve been tabbed to appear on the ABC-TV special "CMA Music Festival: Country’s Night To Rock."
Hosted by Taylor Swift, Kellie Pickler and Julianne Hough, the two-hour program pulls heavily from the nightly concerts presented at Nashville’s LP Field in June during the Country Music Association’s annual fan event. Each of the four nights’ talent showcases was loaded with hitmakers, and producers had plenty of material from which to build the eventual show.
Among the other acts slated for the Sept. 8 program are Alan Jackson, Dwight Yoakam, Gretchen Wilson, Rascal Flatts, Jewel, Miranda Lambert, Trace Adkins, Rodney Atkins, Billy Ray Cyrus, Josh Turner and Bucky Covington.
Sugarland, who crawled over the top of fans on the main floor of the stadium in transparent bubbles during the CMA Festival, is GAC’s Artist of the Month for July.
