UNIVERSAL CITY, Calif. - June 26, 2024 - With the help of some of America's most popular country artists, NBC will honor Toby Keith's life and legacy with a two-hour concert special "Toby Keith: American Icon," airing Wednesday, Aug. 28 at 9 p.m. ET/PT.

The star-studded event, to be filmed at the Bridgestone Arena in Nashville, will feature an A-list lineup of musical performances and special guests who will come together to share their love for one of music's most iconic artists.

The evening will include musical performances from country music's biggest artists. Luke Bryan, Eric Church, Ashley McBryde, Parker McCollum, Jelly Roll, Darius Rucker, Carrie Underwood, Lainey Wilson, The War And Treaty and more will perform Keith's greatest hits as well as their original songs.

One of the most prolific and self-directed creative forces in country music's modern era, singer-songwriter Toby Keith amassed 42 top-10 hits, 33 #1's, 44 million albums sold, 100 million BMI performances and more than 10 billion streams largely on the strength of his own songwriting and producing. Keith's influence crossed generations and his legacy reached around the globe with songs that include "Should've Been a Cowboy," "How Do You Like Me Now?!" "Courtesy of the Red, White & Blue (The Angry American)," "I Love This Bar" and many more.

Keith was elected into the Country Music Hall of Fame shortly before his passing in February. Among his many accomplishments, the New York based all-genre Songwriters Hall of Fame (2015), the National Medal of Arts (2021), the Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame (2021) and BMI Icon (2022) were his most treasured.
