Kellie Pickler to Perform Opening Number for IPL 500 Festival Parade

Posted: 14 May 2011 02:38 AM PDT

The 500 Festival announced today that former Idol Kellie Pickler will perform the opening number for the IPL 500 Festival Parade. Kellie will be singing her new unreleased single, “Tough,” from her upcoming 19 Entertainment/BNA Records release. Accompanying Kellie in the opening festivities are the Indianapolis Children’s Choir and Anita’s Dance Companies of Wisconsin. After the opening number, Kellie will ride in the Parade. The IPL 500 Festival Parade is Saturday, May 28 at noon in downtown Indianapolis.

Since finishing in sixth place during season five, Kellie has gone on to a successful career in country music. In 2006 she released her first album, certified gold Small Town Girl. In 2008, she released her self-titled sophomore album producing the hit singles “Don’t You Know You’re Beautiful”, “Didn’t You Know How Much I Loved You” and “Best Days of Your Life,” which sold more than one million digital singles. On January 1 of this year, Kellie eloped with Kyle Jacobs and they were married on a private island in the Caribbean.

More than 300,000 spectators are expected to line the two-mile parade route to see the 33 starting drivers of the 2011 Indianapolis 500 , more than 80 specialty units, floats, marching bands, giant inflatable balloons and costumed characters.

Themed “Miles of Memories: Celebrating the Most Important Race in History” this year’s parade is a true representation of the power and pageantry of the month of May – a Hoosier tradition for 54 years with a television package that will bolster the Parade’s national presence. The IPL 500 Festival Parade will be televised nationally on the VERSUS Cable Network. Check your local listings for time and channel number.
