Tuesday, July 26 7:00 p.m Louisville, Kentucky's KFC Yum! Center
The First-Ever USO Homefront Concert!
The USO and Kentucky National Guard has joined forces to produce a Montgomery-Gentry Concert. This concert will honor the families of the troops and volunteers who support them. This is the first-ever "Homefront USO Concert" will be a reverse version of typical USO shows that originate at the location of deployed troops. The concert will be presented live to the family volunteers, home-based soldiers and airmen, Active-Duty, National Guard and Reserve and their families at the KFC Yum! Center in Louisville and will be broadcast live to deployed troops around the world via the Pentagon Channel.
Supporting the Volunteers Who Support the Mission
The concert will show appreciation for the sacrifices and service of our military families and our volunteer force. The volunteers who assist with family support while our troops are deployed play an integral role in supporting the families of soldiers during long tours of duty.
This concert is being held the same week as the National Guard's National Volunteer Workshop and Youth Symposium, which is attended by more than 1,400 Guardsmen and family volunteers. All conference attendees will receive concert tickets on-site at the conference check-in.
Location
The concert will be held at the KFC Yum! Center in downtown Louisville adjacent to the Galt House hotel. This state-of-the-art facility opened in 2009 and seats up to 22,000 spectators.

Who all will be playing that night?? Montgomery Gentry and who else? I know it will be a great show just wondering if any one else knows who will be there .
It appears to just be a Montgomery Gentry show from the information I was given. Doesn't look to have an opener or support act. Looks to be a good show!
