Bridgestone Arena and the Scott Hamilton CARES Foundation announced a milestone event that will also coincide with the arena’s 30th anniversary. The one-night-only live show will bring together major music artists and world-class figure skaters to benefit innovative cancer research.
The event also marks another milestone for Olympic champion Scott Hamilton, who joins a short list of entertainers — including Garth Brooks, Keith Urban and Tim McGraw — with 10 performances at Bridgestone Arena.
Tickets are on sale now through Ticketmaster and the Bridgestone Arena box office here. All proceeds benefit the Scott Hamilton CARES Foundation, a Nashville-based nonprofit dedicated to funding less-toxic, more-effective cancer treatments and improving outcomes for cancer patients. The 2027 performer lineup will be announced in the coming months.
“Thirty years ago, Bridgestone Arena helped transform downtown Nashville. Ten years ago, they gave us the opportunity to launch Scott Hamilton & Friends, creating a night where music, skating and hope come together for an incredible cause,” said Hamilton in a release. “As we celebrate these milestones together, we’re looking forward to another unforgettable evening that raises critical funding while celebrating survivorship, resilience and the power of community.”
David Kells, Chief Venues Officer for Bridgestone Arena, added that the event is “truly a night that can only happen in Smashville.”
Over the past nine years, Scott Hamilton & Friends has featured award-winning musicians, Olympic champions, and one-of-a-kind collaborations. Sheryl Crow co-hosted and performed during the first four years of the show. Other past performers have included Ben Rector, Brothers Osborne, Carly Pearce, CeCe Winans, Darius Rucker, Trace Adkins, and more, backed by Nashville favorites Sixwire.
Past skating guests have included Peggy Fleming, Kristi Yamaguchi, Brian Boitano, Nathan Chen, Gracie Gold, Katia Gordeeva & Valeriia Guliayeva, Meryl Davis & Charlie White, Kaitlyn Weaver & Andrew Poje, and Elladj Baldé.
