3x Grammy Award winner Darius Rucker is set to headline the inaugural SHOWdown Lex event on Oct. 13 at Rolex Stadium in the Kentucky Horse Park. Halfway to Hazard will join Rucker on the bill with direct support to be announced soon.

Two dollars from every ticket sold will be donated to the Kentucky Children’s Hospital. Various general admission and VIP pass options are available now.

Set to take place annually on the Friday before a major University of Kentucky football home game, SHOWdown will pair fans’ passions for college football and live music. The 2023 event precedes the UK vs. Mizzou matchup on Oct. 14.

As a lifelong philanthropist, Rucker has raised over $3 million for St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital through his annual Darius & Friends benefit concert and golf tournament.

Additionally, Rucker was recently announced as one of the honorees at Musicians On Call Millions of Moments event for more than a decade of support for the organization.
