Blake Shelton To Headline At Kinnick Stadium’s Historical Event

Kinnick Stadium will make history next August when it hosts its first ever concert. The Back Porch Revival will feature country star Blake Shelton and a line-up of other country music all-stars to benefit the Native Fund.

The Native Fund is a new non-profit organization that provides assistance to Iowa's citizens affected by catastrophes such as floods and tornado's. The fund will also help with Iowa's youth and veterans in need.

"Events at the Stadium are limited because the field access points aren't large enough to accommodate some of the very large equipment and speakers used for concerts of this size. Much of the equipment will be craned in to the Stadium to create this historical Iowa first."   Mark Jennings - Associate Athletic Director at the University of Iowa - KWWL

Tickets for the Back Porch officially will go on sale Oct. 7, 2015, at 10 a.m. through the website TheBackPorchRevival.com. There will be approximately 56,000 seats available and ticket prices will start at $39. A preview sale to UI football season ticket holders will begin on Oct. 5 for a maximum of four tickets and two parking spaces per order. The concert itself will be held August 27, 2016.
