The Academy of Country Music® announced the official set times and schedules for the 4th ACM Party for a Cause® Festival taking place on Friday, April 1 – Sunday, April 3, 2016 at the Las Vegas Festival Grounds. The schedule reflects consecutive performances allowing fans the opportunity to catch all of their favorite country artists perform throughout the three-day experience, headlined by Carrie Underwood, Dierks Bentley, and Kenny Chesney, respectively each night.

The festival will be hosted by Katie Cook on Friday, Shawn Parr & Storme Warren on Saturday, and Blair Garner on Sunday.

For the first time, the ACM Party for a Cause Festival will feature RFID Wristbands for festival entry and exit. After passes are purchased guests will be shipped their RFID Wristbands, which can be activated online before arrival to the festival. The RFID Wristbands will also feature ACM Cashless, a program which uses RFID technology to allow attendees to link their credit card to their wristband, set a PIN for security, and then use it to purchase beverages, food and select merchandise at the event. ACM Cashless is the recommended payment method, but credit card and cash will also be accepted by vendors at the festival.

Through a partnership with Las Vegas Events, festival attendees can catch a ride to the festival on Festival Hotel Shuttles, which will pick-up at the MGM Grand, Downtown Las Vegas Events Center and Stratosphere. Wristband or proof of ticket purchase will be required to board the shuttles.  As previously announced, fans can also ride the monorail, take an Uber or take a taxi to the Las Vegas Festival Grounds.
