FORT PAYNE, AL (CelebrityAccess) — The legendary country band Alabama revealed the lineup for the band’s eighteenth annual June Jam festival, which will take place at the VFW Fairgrounds in Fort Payne, AL on June 1st.
For 2024, the festival will see Alabama’s Randy Owen and Teddy Gentry joined by special guests Old Dominion, Shenandoah, Lee Greenwood and Montgomery Gentry Featuring Eddie Montgomery, Mark Wills, Exile, John Berry, Taylor Hicks, The Malpass Brothers, The Castellows, plus a surprise, yet-to-be-announced guest.
Alabama themselves will take the stage at the end of the event to close the night out.
“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!”
As in years past, the festival will support the local community and disaster relief recovery in and around the state of Alabama.
