ConAgra backs Hayes record attempt; opening acts named
Hayes is attempting to break the record by playing 10 shows in 10 cities in 24 hours (current record held by the Flaming Lips with 8 shows in 24 hours who broke the previous record made by Jay-Z).
We thought the best way to celebrate releasing the 'Storyline' record was to play as many shows as possible and attempt to break a record or two while we're at it," said Hayes about the history-making event. "It's gonna be a blast."
Support acts for the 10 shows were announced including breakout country duo Dan + Shay, Charlie Worsham, The Railers and singer/songwriters Dean Alexander and Matt Sucich, with the official music playlist powered by The Country Club with Dee Jay Silver.
The program will kick off Friday, May 9 on Good Morning America (GMA) on ABC in Times Square.
Announced today, Tudor Watch U.S.A will be the official timekeeper for the "Hunter Hayes 24 Hour Road Race to End Child Hunger." Throughout the race, Hayes will wear a Tudor Heritage Chrono timepiece and upon conclusion, this special timepiece engraved with the official race logo will be auctioned to raise money for Feeding America, the nation's leading domestic hunger-relief charity.
