Kicking off the 2009 Alltech Fortnight Festival: Jason Aldean and Miranda Lambert
[Lexington, KY] – The Alltech Fortnight Festival joins forces again with Applebee’s Park in Lexington, Ky., to kick off its 16-day, statewide celebration marking the final year before the Alltech FEI World Equestrian Games 2010™ with platinum country artists Jason Aldean and Miranda Lambert. Ticket sales for the September 25th concert will begin on July 10th at 10 a.m.
A two-time Grammy winner, Lambert’s albums have earned glowing accolades from The New York Times, Los Angeles Times, USA Today, and Entertainment Weekly among others. The noted songwriter releases her third album, “Revolution,” on September 29. Fans will be treated to a live preview when she hits the stage in Lexington with Jason Aldean, the 2006 Academy of Country Music Top New Male Vocalist. “She’s Country” from Aldean’s latest album has been his fastest rising single yet.
“The Alltech Fortnight Festival was created by Dr. Pearse Lyons, president and founder of Alltech, as a means of building excitement throughout the state for the Alltech FEI World Equestrian Games while investing in the development of the arts in local communities,” said Thomas Stephens, director of the Alltech Fortnight Festival. “We are very excited to be starting our 2009 Alltech Fortnight Festival celebration at Applebee’s Park with Jason Aldean and Miranda Lambert in concert together.”
“I couldn’t be happier with the show we have locked in,” said Andy Shea, general manager of Applebee’s Park. “This is a concert for men and women of all ages and should be a fantastic evening at the ballpark.”
The 2009 Alltech Fortnight Festival will be held September 25 – October 10, mirroring the Alltech Fortnight Festival’s culmination in 2010 with nightly entertainment held concurrently with the Alltech FEI World Equestrian Games. Since July 2008, the Alltech Fortnight Festival has produced 24 entertainment events of various genres in nine cities and 12 venues covering all regions of the Commonwealth.
