Late last year, multi-platinum selling country band ALABAMA announced June Jam XVIII, set to take place in Fort Payne, AL at the VFW Fairgrounds on June 1. Today, the iconic group revealed its lineup of artists scheduled to perform at the historic event. At June Jam XVIII , ALABAMA's Randy Owen and Teddy Gentry will be joined by special guest performers Old Dominion (six-time reigning ACM and CMA “Group of The Year”), GRAMMY Award-winning Shenandoah, Lee Greenwood ("God Bless The U.S.A."), Montgomery Gentry Featuring Eddie Montgomery, Mark Wills, Exile, John Berry, Taylor Hicks, The Malpass Brothers, The Castellows, plus a surprise performance by a hitmaking singer-songwriter. June Jam begins at 12 PM local time. ALABAMA will close the festival. "We are excited and look forward to playing our songs for y’all at this year's Jam," says Owen. "We have a true mutual love for our fans, and they always support the band and the June Jam Foundation." "When we started the first June Jam in 1982 as a charity concert event, it was attended by over 30,000 fans," explains Gentry. "At the time, it was the largest country music festival in the United States. Now we are getting ready for our 18th concert. We want to welcome everyone to Fort Payne, Alabama, our hometown. Come have a great time and help others in need!" June Jam, as in years past, will benefit those in need and disaster relief in and around the state of Alabama.
