Miranda Lambert

“Getting to partner with the AFAAC on something that brings country music icons and community together means a lot to me. Since I was a kid, music has shaped my life and being able to use that passion to give back- it just feels right. Miranda Lambert hitting the Ford Amphitheater stage in benefit of the AFAAC and the VENU Foundation- it doesn’t get much better than that. I invite folks to come on out, not just for the show, but to support great music with a greater purpose." said J.W. Roth, Founder, Chairman, and CEO of VENU, and owner of Ford Amphitheater.

“The Air Force Academy Athletic Corporation is thankful to partner with the VENU Arts and Culture Foundation on this benefit concert. Generating financial support for Air Force Academy cadet-athletes is our primary mission and we appreciate the opportunity to use this event to creatively support the future leaders in our Air and Space Forces,” said Chief Executive Officer- AFAAC, Dr. Nancy Hixson. “We look forward to welcoming Miranda Lambert to Colorado Springs and Ford Amphitheater on September 28.”
