"When we realized we were passing through the area on our way to Salt Lake City, “We thought, what a great chance to give Colorado a little taste of what they will be seeing at the Country Throwdown on Sunday," says tour producer Kevin Lyman.
“We’re thrilled to work with the Country Throwdown Tour and the USO to bring this free show to the fans,” adds Scott Kanov, Vice President of Marketing/Rocky Mountain Music for Live Nation. “Country music lovers in Colorado are in for an unforgettable weekend!”
“What an absolute honor it is to have these great entertainers perform for our service men and women and their families here at Fort Carson,” says Center Manager of the USO Fort Carson Phil Martinez. “We are grateful and excited to show these amazing entertainers some military hospitality from the best hometown in the Army.”
The COUNTRY THROWDOWN TOUR® Presented by Rockstar Energy Drink–the first annual multi-stage country tour from 4 FINI, Inc., producers/creators of the successful Vans Warped Tour and promoted by Live Nation–mixes top country music artists with emerging singer-songwriters; the festival offers a relaxing atmosphere where fans enjoy a constant stream of music on multiple stages all day long (doors open daily at 1:00pm, the show goes until 11:00pm).
