iHeartRadio Labor Day Concert Presented By Lowe’s With Rascal Flatts streams on iHeartRadio’s YouTube, Facebook and country stations
iHeartMedia has announced the iHeartRadio Labor Day Concert presented by Lowe’s with Rascal Flatts, an all-new music special featuring an intimate performance from one of the most influential groups in modern country history, filmed live from the Opry House in Nashville. The virtual concert event, hosted by iHeartRadio on-air personality Amy Brown, will take place on Wednesday, September 2nd at 8 pm EST and marks one of the first times the band has performed since the release of their EP, How They Remember You.
The concert will stream exclusively on iHeartRadio’s YouTube and Facebook, and broadcast across iHeartMedia’s mainstream country radio stations at 8 pm local time. In addition to an exclusive performance, the event will celebrate hardworking individuals that labor even on Labor Day, rewarding one deserving teacher with a surprise front porch makeover from Lowe’s.
Rascal Flatts has posted 17 No. 1 songs and sold more than 23 million albums since their founding in 2000, leaving an impact which outshines even their wildest ambitions. Their signature sound was like no other, with Gary LeVox’s voice one of the most recognizable and dynamic of its era, while the rock-solid musicianship of Jay DeMarcus and Joe Don Rooney infused country tradition with a fresh new, arena-ready energy – helping pave the way for a wave of crossover appreciation still building today, as well as opening doors for so many other artists who followed.
The superstar country trio are the most awarded country group of the past decade with over 40 trophies from the American Country Awards, Academy of Country Music Awards, American Music Awards, Country Music Association Awards, People’s Choice Awards and more, as well as breaking a Guinness World Record for the most consecutive wins of Vocal Group of the Year at the ACMs, winning the honor seven times in a row. They’ve sold more than 11 million concert tickets and over 35 million digital downloads, and their songs have been streamed more than 2.2 billion times worldwide as well as over 4.4 billion times on Pandora alone.
The trio was set to embark on their final Rascal Flatts Farewell: Life is a Highway Tour, but was canceled due to COVID-19. The most awarded group of the past decade was set to kick off the trek in June to celebrate its 20th year together. Guests Chris Lane, Chase Rice, Avenue Beat, Caylee Hammack, King Calaway, Matt Stell and Rachel Wammack were set to join for the run that was to last through October. Due to the pandemic sidelining the tour, the group may not call it quits after 20 years afterall.
