Over the weekend, Dwight Yoakam experienced a medical emergency at the Railbird Festival in Lexington, Kentucky. A message posted by his team said the combination of heat and humidity caused a “quick spell of heat exhaustion.” Thankfully, the country icon is okay and went on to thank fans and EMTs for their support and help.

Lainey Wilson will close out National Finals Rodeo weekend with a massive show in Las Vegas. The Wildflowers and Wild Horses concert will take place December 14 at the MGM Grand Garden Arena, with Mae Estes and Tracey Lawrence serving as support. Tickets go on sale Friday, June 7, at AXS.com.
