Iconic Country Supergroup Set for One-Night-Only Performance at Historic Gala

Little Big Town has a special one-night-only show in the works.

The multi-Grammy Award-winning country band will headline the 40th annual Carousel Ball, a Hollywood institution since 1978.

The supergroup will take the stage on Saturday, October 3, at the Sheraton Denver Downtown Hotel.

All proceeds from the charity ball benefit the Children's Diabetes Foundation and Colorado-based Barbara Davis Center for Diabetes's mission to fund groundbreaking research and care, presented by Dexcom, the global leader in glucose biosensing.

It's a prestigious honor, with past headliners including icons such as Sir Elton John, Celine Dion, and Whitney Houston, along with last year's Goo Goo Dolls honoring Neil Diamond, among many others.

"We are honored to welcome Little Big Town to this year's Carousel Ball," said Dana Davis, Event Chairman, and Barbara Davis, Honorary Chairman, in a press release shared with Parade. "For nearly five decades, the Carousel Ball has brought together an incredible community united by one goal-to improve the lives of people living with type 1 diabetes and help accelerate research toward better treatments, prevention, and ultimately a cure. We are deeply grateful to Little Big Town for joining us in support of this special evening."

The ball is celebrating its milestone 40-year anniversary, as guests enjoy dinner, cocktails and hors d'oeuvres, silent & live auctions, an exciting program and entertainment.

Since its start in 1978, the charity ball has become a Hollywood favorite, bringing together entertainment, sports and business industry leaders.

Little Big Town's Karen Fairchild, Phillip Sweet, Kimberly Schlapman, and Jimi Westbrook, who are set to headline, have plenty in the works this year, as they previously announced their upcoming tour in support of their 12th studio album, It's a Dying Art, arriving on Aug. 28.

The harmony-driven country group, which formed in 1998, has long been known for songs ranging from heartfelt ballads to bold, edgy tunes, taking home awards in the double digits, with several hits spanning decades, including their mid-2000s breakout, "Boondocks," and 2010s peak popularity tracks, "Pontoon" and "Girl Crush."
