NEW YORK, NY – August 3, 2026 –  Audacy today unveiled a powerhouse lineup for its 11th annual Stars and Strings, presented by Xfinity, featuring Lee Brice, Kane Brown, Brantley Gilbert, Brandon Lake and Audacy LAUNCH artist Stephen Wilson Jr. Marking its milestone fifth year in South Florida, Audacy’s Country music concert returns to Hard Rock Live at Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Hollywood, FL, on Thursday, November 12.

The show is hosted by South Florida’s original country station, KISS Country 99.9 (WKIS-FM), including station personalities Dina B, TC, Katie Neal, Rob, Holly and Coop. The evening benefits Folds of Honor, whose mission is to provide educational scholarships for the families of America’s fallen or disabled military and first responders.

“Country music has a long, proud tradition of honoring our service members, and Stars and Strings continues to bring that tradition to life,” said Tim Roberts, Country Format Vice President, Audacy. “Now in its fifth year in South Florida, Stars and Strings has become a powerful reflection of the deep ties we share with the communities we serve. We’re excited to unite fans and honor the sacrifice, service and legacy of America’s heroes.”

Since 2007, Folds of Honor has awarded over 73,000 educational scholarships to families of fallen or disabled U.S. service members and first responders. Folds of Honor ensures the educational dreams of their spouses and children live on, and 91 percent of every dollar raised directly funds scholarships.
