GLAAD, the world’s largest LGBTQ+ media advocacy organization, and groundbreaking country music star Ty Herndon has announced the first round of performers who will take the stage for the tenth anniversary of the Concert for Love & Acceptance. Today’s announcement includes pop-country sensation Dasha, as well as David Archuleta, Brooke Eden, Lindsay Ell, and Sam Williams.
Additional performances and appearances will be announced ahead of the show, set to take place on Monday, June 2, 2025, at 7:30 PM at Category 10 in Nashville TN—formerly the Wildhorse Saloon.
“So much has changed since we put the first Concert For Love & Acceptance together back in 2015, and I like to think we’ve been an important part of that change. When people join us for this show, we only ask one thing of them—and that’s to leave their differences at the door and come together for a night of music, love, and acceptance. Nothing has the power to bring us together like music,” said Herndon. “We’re so much greater than the things that separate us, and we sure could use a little more love and acceptance these days.”
Founded in 2015, the Concert for Love & Acceptance has become a premier event during the week of CMA Fest dedicated to fostering a more inclusive country music community. Proceeds from the event support Ty Herndon’s Foundation For Love and Acceptance, which focuses on supporting the LGBTQ community alongside support for mental health, addiction, and trauma recovery.
Past events have featured appearances and performances by Reba McEntire, Vince Gill, Tanya Tucker, Chris Daughtry, Mickey Guyton, Brett Young, Brothers Osborne, and many more. Tickets are on sale now, and fans are encouraged to secure their seats early for this highly anticipated celebration.
The Concert For Love & Acceptance is presented in partnership with Music City PrEP Clinic, Rooted Recovery Stories with Patrick Custer | A Podcast By Promises Behavioral Health, and Southern Pride Process, LLC, with additional support from Chris Watson Travel.
