Tickets to Dierks Bentley‘s 10th Annual “Miles & Music For Kids” celebrity motorcycle ride and concert sold out in 30 minutes. Kicking off CMA Awards week on November 1st in Nashville, TN, the event will close out the outdoor concert season at the new Ascend Amphitheater with a star-studded concert lineup including Florida Georgia Line, Thomas Rhett, Cole Swindell, Canaan Smith and The Cadillac Three, among others. All proceeds benefit Monroe Carell Jr. Children’s Hospital at Vanderbilt.
“I thought we would have a good turnout, but to sell out Ascend in minutes is crazy! It really speaks to the passion that country fans have for causes that are important to their community. I feel honored that ‘Miles & Music’ is one of them,” shares Bentley. “Every year, the biker community has also been there for us, helping raise money for these kids…they are definitely some of the most giving people out there. So, we are holding back a few extra tickets to be sure anyone who wants to ride on Nov. 1 into downtown can jump on their bikes and join us. It’ll be pretty unreal to cruise into a sold-out amphitheater reminiscing about everyone who has helped make the last 10 years so huge – I can’t wait!”
Over the course of the event’s history, Bentley has raised more than $3 million dollars for Children’s Miracle Network hospitals across the country. Due to their ongoing support, advance purchase tickets have been held for riders and a very limited number will be available for walk up purchase at Harley-Davidson of Columbia on a first come, first served basis the day of the event. You must be a rider planning to participate in the ride, to purchase these tickets. For more information, visitwww.dierks.com.
Dierks is climbing the country charts with his latest single, “Riser.”

“When it first started, it was important to me because country music is so involved with children’s hospitals. You go to a lot of children’s hospitals and see what’s going on there, and it just hits you on any level. But then once you have kids and you’re in Labor and Delivery and you’re just praying for a healthy kid – I’ve done that three times now – and I’m lucky enough to have a healthy kid, I feel very fortunate and want to give back to those families that are struggling right now and could use a little lift. So, yeah, it takes on a lot of meaning, for sure.”
