LeAnn Rimes to perform at Cathedral City's 10th Hot Air Balloon Festival this fall

LeAnn Rimes will be performing in Cathedral City during the 10th anniversary of the city's International Hot Air Balloon Festival in November.

The festival features hot air balloons, food and entertainment. The city increased the 2024 festival's budget by $100,000 to bring in a headliner like Rimes, according to Ryan Hunt, Cathedral City’s communication and events manager.

Mayor Mark Carnevale announced the news of Rimes' concert during Cathedral City's State of the City on Tuesday, an event that city officials use to share what they've been working on, and to announce updates like new businesses or housing projects.

"We can't wait to welcome you and thousands of attendees as we pack the amphitheater for what should be an incredible, memorable 10th anniversary celebration of one of the valley's most popular events," Carnevale said.

Here's everything we know about Rimes' concert so far.

When and where will it be?

Rimes will perform at 5 p.m. on Saturday, Nov. 23 at the Cathedral City Community Amphitheater.

How much are tickets?

Hunt said the city will provide 1,000 general admission tickets to Cathedral City residents for free on a first come, first-served basis. Otherwise the average ticket price will be $65, he said.

When can people get their tickets?

Tickets should go on sale in early June. A link to where to purchase them will be on discovercathedralcity.com, according to Hunt.
