It's time to get excited as the 28th Annual K92.3 All Star Jam is back and this years amazing line-up has just been announced! This year's highly anticipated K92.3 All Star Jam presented by RoofClaim.com is returning to Orlando's Addition Financial Arena on Monday, September 11, and organizers have just announced an amazing line-up of artists including country superstar headliners Old Dominion! The star-studded artist lineup also features country music icons Russell Dickerson, Brian Kelley, Randy Houser, ERNEST, Megan Moroney, and Priscilla Block! For one night only, these artists will share the stage for an intimate guitar-pull style show you won’t want to miss. Tickets are on sale now via Ticetmmaster and the Ticketmaster App. Sign up for the Addition Financial Arena Cyber Club to receive all the information you need about this intimate and exclusive concert experience and others at www.AdditionFiArena.com. Read on for more details on this years amazing line-up! Old Dominion’s skyscraping anthems and electrifying live shows have put the Multi-Platinum-selling band prominently at the forefront of country music. Fusing clever lyrics and an infectious sound, their lyrical wit and hook-heavy songwriting has certainly proved to be a winning formula for Nashville’s hottest band. It’s no wonder Rolling Stone cited Old Dominion as “one of mainstream country music’s most popular live groups.” Since breaking onto the music scene the band has notched eight No. 1 singles on country radio, surpassed one billion on-demand streams, earned a dozen RIAA Platinum and Gold single certifications, and headlined arenas and amphitheaters around the globe. A Tennessee native from a musical family, there’s no question that Russell Dickerson has made a name for himself in recent years. After graduating from college, Dickerson felt called to take his music on the road, cutting his teeth while playing shows across the US, frequently for small audiences and an even smaller paycheck. That same drive has made Dickerson the first artist to release four consecutive career-starting singles that reached No. One on the Billboard Country Airplay chart since Luke Combs. He also joins Combs as the second solo artist and fourth act overall to have four or more singles reach No. One on the Country Airplay chart since its inception decades ago. Those back-to-back chart-topping singles include “Yours” (3X Platinum), “Blue Tacoma” (2X Platinum), “Every Little Thing” (Platinum), “Love You Like I Used To” (Platinum) and most recently Dickerson’s current single “She Likes It” ft. Jake Scott has already been certified Gold with 170 million streams to date. Brian Kelley was first known as the “Florida” half of Florida Georgia Line. His love of musical (and real-life) adventure helped the ACM Breakout Artist of the Decade Award recipients garner 19 No. 1 hits and become the only act in Country music history to have two singles certified Diamond. FGL notched 17 billion+ global streams, sold more than 40 million+ tracks and 4.8 million albums worldwide, and performed to over 4 million fans. With an inimitable voice the New York Times describes as "wholly different, thicker and more throbbing, a caldron bubbling over," Randy Houser racked up five consecutive country radio hits and over five million singles sales after shifting record labels to Stoney Creek Records. He topped the charts with the "How Country Feels," Runnin’ Outta Moonlight," “Goodnight Kiss," (also his first No. 1 as a songwriter), "We Went," and earned critical acclaim for his powerful delivery of the Top 5 smash and CMA Song of the Year-nominated "Like A Cowboy." Nashville's most unpredictable hitmaker ERNEST is “The Charmer” (MusicRow), a triple threat talent and one of Music City's on the rise artist/writers who is changing the status quo. The two-time 2023 ACM Award nominee and 2022 Variety Hitmaker fuses influences ranging from Eminem to George Jones, crafting a twist-heavy verse style that's become his signature, proving its mettle, and earning him eight #1 hits to date. The eccentric free spirit and 2X CMA Triple Play Award winner just dropped the deluxe edition of his critically acclaimed album FLOWER SHOPS (THE ALBUM), rebranding the collection FLOWER SHOPS (THE ALBUM): Two Dozen Roses, doubling its track list with 13 fresh cuts. The March 2022-released original has been praised as one of Holler and The Tennessean's best albums of the year, showcasing the more classically country side of his craft. Nashville's “busiest – and most consistently successful – creative force” (The Tennessean) wrapped his first-ever sold-out headlining Sucker For Small Towns Tour this past fall. Continuing to put on a show that proves “ERNEST creates a sound all his own” (Pollstar), he delivers dynamic performances while on the road, now as direct support on Morgan Wallen's One Night At A Time World Tour, and on his forthcoming fall headlining This Fire Tour. Born and raised in Georgia, Megan Moroney is one of Nashville’s most exciting up and coming artists. Megan grew up in a musical household heavily influenced by legendary songwriters in classic country, southern rock, and americana. During Megan’s freshman year at the University of Georgia, an opportunity to open for an established country artist at the iconic Georgia Theatre prompted Megan to write her very first original song. From there, she developed a love for storytelling and has become known for her distinctive voice and honest, conversational lyrics. Make sure to check out her debut EP “Pistol Made of Roses.” Since “Just About Over You,” Priscilla Block’s fans have waited patiently for her own full-length debut. That time has come: Welcome to the Block Party is the perfect meeting place for both listeners new and old, with Priscilla showing multiple sides of her artistry but never abandoning what fans fell in love with from the very beginning. Hilarious and brazenly honest (“I’ve been eating carbs since ’95,” she sings) “Thick Thighs” offered a perspective far too unheard of in the land of manicured celebrity, and it was an overnight success. Her blunt – and twangily infectious – lyrics helped Priscilla amass not only a huge social media following but a growing and dedicated fanbase as well. Addition Financial Arena is located on the campus of the University of Central Florida, in Orlando. It's one of the largest universities in the nation. The arena boasts 10,000 seats, 18 luxury suites, two loge boxes, and club seating with lounge access. Offering a diverse lineup of shows, including world-famous entertainers, beloved family shows, and special events, Addition Financial Arena is considered one of the top college venues in the country. Addition Financial Arena is also the home to UCF men’s and women’s basketball. The OVG360-managed Addition Financial Arena has hosted concerts by high-profile musicians such as Lady Gaga, Katy Perry, Elton John, Drake and more.

See the legendary Patti LaBelle LIVE in concert at the Peabody Auditorium in Daytona Beach. See the legendary Patti LaBelle LIVE in concert at the Peabody Auditorium on Thursday, November 16! Widely regarded as the queen of rock and soul music, Patti LaBelle has sold more than 50 million records worldwide. Inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame, Hollywood Walk of Fame and Apollo Theatre of Fame, LaBelle’s vocal prowess and emotive delivery have entertained fans for nearly seven decades with career-defining song, “You Are My Friend,” top singles, “If Only You Knew”, “New Attitude” and “Stir It Up” and more. Tickets are on sale now, get your tickets now. Beautiful, simply does not describe the incomparable force known to the world as Patti LaBelle. As time continues to evolve, the soulful songbird’s name has become synonymous with grace, style, elegance and class. Belting out classic rhythm and blues renditions, pop standards and spiritual sonnets have created the unique platform of versatility that she is known and revered for. It’s a small wonder that Patti has time for anything else in between recording and touring, but she makes time and the world is oh so happy that she does! She has written six books, Don’t Block the Blessings, LaBelle Cuisine: Recipes to Sing About, Patti’s Pearls, Patti LaBelle’s Lite Cuisine, Recipes for the Good Life and Desserts LaBelle. Recently, Patti released a 20th anniversary edition of her New York Times bestselling cookbook, LaBelle Cuisine, featuring three new recipes. Additionally, Patti has been featured in popular films and television programs including A Soldier’s Story, A Different World, American Horror Story, Empire, Star and The Kominsky Method, and starred in her own TV series, Out All Night. She’s also wowed television audiences with unforgettable performances on the hit shows, Dancing with the Stars and The Masked Singer and starred in Broadway productions of Your Arms are Too Short to Box with God, Fela, and After Midnight, The same motivation that had Patricia Louise Holte blossom from a choir member to lead vocalist for Patti LaBelle & The Bluebelles and later Labelle, to a solo artist, is the same energy that keeps her fire burning at seventy-eight years young. “Each year I grow, and that’s a blessing from God. I do what I can do. I do what I feel God has given me the energy to do, so I just go out there and I do it…it’s not about making money because I don’t need money, but I need to sing. With a voice or without, I’ve got to get on that stage.” And the world is thankful that Patti’s voice sounds so good to our ears.
