Tim McGraw TV Special: ACM Presents ‘Superstar Summer Night’

Tim McGraw is handpicking his favorite summer tunes and enlisting his friends perform them for an upcoming TV special. "ACM Presents: Tim McGraw's Superstar Summer Night" will tape April 8 at Las Vegas' MGM Grand Garden Arena and air on CBS later this year. Proceeds from the two-hour concert will benefit ACM Lifting Lives, an organization with which the "One of Those Nights" singer worked last summer.

"I hope I can help turn the fans on to some of the best live music that will be on the road this summer and really put a spotlight on the ones I know they won't want to miss," Tim says. "I also feel a responsibility to help raise some money and awareness for ACM Lifting Lives and all the good work they do. They supported me last summer with our HomeFront program and helped me give away a house to a veteran in need in every market we played in, so I'm excited to get some of my friends together and repay the favor."

Performers for the TV special have not yet been announced, but the superstar promises a diverse range of music. Performances and collaborations will include country, pop and rock tunes, while special guests will include celebrities from film and TV.

Tickets for the taping go on-sale Jan. 25 at 10:00 AM PT here.
