APC Executive Director, Jamie Fergerson, said of the additions, We're excited to continue building a diverse and dynamic line up with the additions of NIKI and Stephanie Poetri, and we are thrilled to announce Kesha's performance, which is made possible through our partnership with Rainbow Level Sponsor, AT&T and Media Partner, iHeartMedia. Each year, our entertainment team and iHeartMedia, work to outdo the previous year's talent lineup, and they certainly worked overtime. We are so happy with the end result!"
