“Despite this year’s pandemic, we are honored to still be able to host one of Country music’s most anticipated nights with an iconic lineup of the genre’s biggest artists,” said Rod Phillips, Executive Vice President of Programming for iHeartCountry. “Although fans won’t be able to celebrate in person, the show will be available to our millions of listeners across our iHeartCountry stations nationwide and through the exclusive stream on LiveXLive.”

Capital One cardholders can enter for a chance to win the opportunity to virtually play iHeartCountry’s Capital One Trivia Night with Kelsea Ballerini, hosted by Bobby Bones. The hand-selected players will receive a signed item from Ballerini and the Trivia Night winner will announce Ballerini’s performance during the virtual festival. You can enter to take part in Trivia Night, HERE, now through Sunday, October 4.
