Kelsea Ballerini and Lee Brice Among Additions to ACM Charity Concert Lineup

With the 50th Annual ACM Awards right around the corner, details are being finalized for both the ceremony and subsequent special events.

The weekend celebration includes a roster of events and activities that dedicated country fans won't want to miss out on. On April 18, Dierks Bentley will be hosting a motorcycle ride and charity concert to raise money for charities including ACM Lifting Lives, a non-profit that seeks to better individuals' lives through music.

Renowned country singers such as Thompson Square and Montgomery Gentry will be performing at the event, in addition to the just-announced Kelsea Ballerini, Lee Brice and Brooke Eden. Each artist will perform a special set of songs during the day, and all proceeds raised from the concert will benefit the ACM Lifting Lives charity, local child abuse advocacy groups and military non-profits.

“One of the first times I was in Las Vegas for the ACMs, I did the Lifting Lives motorcycle ride, and it was fun," Bentley shares. “This year, we have some time on Saturday, so I’m going to get a bike out there and do some riding and raise money for a great cause. It’s fun. When you can ride motorcycles and actually help make money by riding motorcycles, that’s such a win-win situation.”

The actual 2015 ACM Awards will take place on Sunday, April 19, in Arlington, Texas.
