• Brett Young surprised country music fans everywhere when he brought out one of his biggest songwriting inspirations, Gavin Degraw, to perform “Soldier.” Before dedicating the song to the U.S. Military in the crowd, he told everyone that Gavin made him want to get into songwriting, “I’ve seen a lot of Gavin DeGraw shows, but tonight is the first time I get to share a stage with Mr. Gavin DeGraw.” 
• Cole Swindell gave a touching tribute to the U.S. military, service men and women overseas and all the first responders as he closed his set at the 2018 iHeartCountry Festival with a performance of "Ain't Worth The Whiskey."

• Dan + Shay brought out Daytime Village performer, Danielle Bradbery to help them sing their song "How Not To.” 
• Eleven-year-old Walmart Yodel Boy, Mason Ramsey, performed the song that made him become a viral sensation after the world saw a video of him yodeling in his local Walmart. His talent has already taken him to Coachella and now the iHeartCountry Music Festival where he also performed his new song, “Famous.”
• Country singer/songwriter, Scotty McCreery recently released his fourth studio album Seasons Change, and this weekend surprised the crowd with a special performance of his new single, “Five More Minutes” at the iHeartCountry Festival.
