[Mar 29] iHeartRadio Country Festival (Official Discussion Thread)

[Marie2011]

I think there is already a thread for the iheartradio country show on March 29 but it is currently 3:30 and I can't find it. I think there is already one I just might be missing it

With performances by*Luke Bryan,*Jason Aldean, Florida Georgia Line,*Carrie Underwood*and a host of other A-list acts, Clear Channel's first-ever iHeartRadio Country Festival will be streamed live Saturday (March 29) exclusively on*CMT.com and the recently-launched CMT Artists App.

Additionally,*CMT After Midnight With Cody Alan*and CMT Radio Live*will broadcast from Austin, and*CMT Hot 20 Countdown*will also be there with behind-the-scenes access and exclusive interviews with the artists. The all-new episode of*CMT Hot 20 Countdown*airs April 12 at 11 a.m. ET/PT.

Nice. Tx! Looking forward to this! Hopefully it will air on tv too at some point like the regular iheart festival does.

I love that Carrie has many shows despite being in-between albums. I don't remember her being this active pre-BA, was she?

[teesharky]

^ agree. It was much quieter during the wait for BA i think. The time waiting for new music is passing faster this time. The duet will help tremendously too.

[underwoodfanfrance]

YESSS! Thank you CMT!

[kewlie78189]

yay!!!

[LouisaJessie]

This sounds like it is going to be an awesome event. I love that fans get to watch the show even if they can't actually be there. I look forward to seeing photos/videos of Carrie's performance. She should perform Cupid's Got a Shotgun!

Yep before artists could take time in between albums, if they wanted 2.5 to 3 years in between albums they could, they could also take a break. But now unless you are established, and in a pretty safe genre, you not only have to release an album every 2 years, but you have to tour in between. During the wait for BA, maybe she wanted to take some time out and relax, and spend it with her husband. They really do not have that luxury anymore, and they have to be active in doing shows, and keeping their names out there. That is what it seems like to me anyway.

I wish we could get this in Canada. : (

Since this is streaming live (for you lucky people who will get to see it) I have changed the title of this thread to make it the official discussion thread but I've placed it in the concert section so we can combine the discussion with the tweets and pics to keep everything in one thread.

I am so happy that we can watch this live... I so wanted to go there, but I could not afford it, so it is wonderful that I still can watch iy live.

[maddkat]

is the live stream a video stream or audio?
Sorry I can't figure it out. ;-(

[Ann055]

I heard on the radio we can WATCH it on cmt.com & if you're not home or cannot get cmt, you can LISTEN on iHeart radio. 1061TheTwister here is an iHeart station that is carrying the audio.

Hopefully she will do a new cover or something extra special for this- can't wait.

[opry051008]

Does anyone know what time Carrie will perform? I can't seem to find the schedule anywhere.

I don't believe they've ever announced a schedule. Just based on ETOTY awards alone, Carrie should be the headliner but who knows how they'll schedule everyone.
