Stars & Guitars is just days away, and we do have a bit of bittersweet news today.

As most people know by now, Lauren Alaina has reached the semi-finals of ABC’s “Dancing With the Stars.” Because the show is live on Monday nights, unfortunately Lauren won’t be able to be in Fayetteville as scheduled.

“We’re so excited to see how well Lauren has done on ‘Dancing’, so we’re really happy for her,” said WKML Programming Director Randy Bliss. “Her improvement week to week has been remarkable, even with her rib injuries.

“While we’re disappointed to not have Lauren on our Stars & Guitars stage Monday, we are thrilled with our lineup as it still stands.”

Chris Janson is headlining Monday’s sold-out show at the Crown Coliseum, and will still be joined by HARDY, Kip Moore, Morgan Wallen and Russell Dickerson.

There are still a few chances remaining to win tickets at our last few ticket stops. Visit WKMLStarsAndGuitars.com/ticket-stops to see the remaining scheduled stops.
