Veteran’s Day in Tampa was a very special day for thousands of veterans and their families. Walmart put together a first class, star-studded sold-out show at the MidFlorida Credit Union Amphitheatre called, “Heros & Headliners.”

This special night featured an amazing lineup of Grammy Award winners and music superstars, including Chris Stapleton, Imagine Dragons and H.E.R. Along with the hosts of the show, former NFL player and future Hall of Famer Rob Gronkowski aka “Gronk” and his beautiful and talented girlfriend, Camille Kostek. “This is going to be an incredible show as we celebrate and support the amazing folks of the military community,” Gronkowski stated.

Walmart – along with its customers and the Walmart Foundation – will donate nearly $4 million for veteran organizations.

“Walmart has a rich history of supporting the military, dating back to our first veteran associate, Sam Walton,” said Walmart U.S. president and CEO John Furner in a statement. “Like him, our American military community and their families have ensured the fabric of our freedom, and we’re forever grateful for their sacrifice and service.”

The stage was set for an unforgettable night as H.E.R., the enigmatic Grammy-winning artist, took center stage. H.E.R., an artist who effortlessly combines vulnerability and strength, walked onto the stage with an aura of quiet confidence. Dressed in her trademark sunglasses and surrounded by an ensemble of exceptionally talented musicians, the atmosphere instantly transformed into an intimate space where emotions would be laid bare.

Throughout the concert, H.E.R. engaged with the audience in a genuine and unfiltered manner. She performed hits like, “Could’ve Been” and “Come Through.” The peak of H.E.R.’s performance came as she performed her signature hit, “Best Part.”

Then it was time for multi-platinum, Grammy Award winning band, Imagine Dragons. From the first note, Imagine Dragons unleashed a tidal wave of energy that swept through the venue. The electrifying opening chords of their hit song “Radioactive” set the tone for a night that would be defined by powerful vocals, driving beats, and an unrelenting sense of intensity.

Frontman Dan Reynolds emerged with a contagious exuberance, engaging the audience with every step and lyric. His charismatic stage presence, coupled with the band’s tight instrumentation, created a synergy that fueled the crowd’s enthusiasm. Reynolds’ ability to command attention and connect with the audience was evident, turning the concert into a collective celebration of music and shared emotion. The setlist was a rollercoaster of hits, seamlessly blending chart-toppers like “Demons,” “Believer,” “Thunder,” and “Whatever It Takes” with deeper cuts that showcased the band’s musical versatility.

Finally it was time for country superstar Chris Stapleton. Stapleton had just won the Country Music Association’s Male Vocalist of the Year Award on Wednesday night before the show.

Chris Stapleton, the modern-day troubadour known for his soulful voice and masterful songwriting, took center stage and delivered a concert that left an indelible mark on the hearts of everyone fortunate enough to be in attendance.

Stapleton kicked off the night with a powerful rendition of one of his hits, immediately showcasing the depth and raw emotion that has become synonymous with his music. The gravelly timbre of his voice filled the venue, resonating with authenticity and genuine passion. Backed by a stellar band, each member a virtuoso in their own right, the synergy on stage was nothing short of magical. He performed fan-favorites like, “Tennessee Whiskey,” “Starting Over,” “Parachute,” and “Broken Halos.”

As the final notes resonated through the venue, the applause was thunderous—a heartfelt acknowledgment of the extraordinary musical experience that Chris Stapleton had just shared with his audience. The concert wasn’t just a performance; it was a soulful communion of artist and audience, leaving an indelible mark on the hearts of all who were fortunate enough to be in attendance.
