Guests for the week include Jimmy Kimmel, Seth Rogen, Dave Franco, Brandi Glanville, Sonja Morgan, Gabriel Mann, with this year's house band, Betty Who, performing some of her hits all week long including "Somebody Loves You." Behind the bar Cohen welcomes local favorites such as "Top Chef" winner and Austin's own Paul Qui, and Austin strippers from Sugar's Cabaret.

Ballet Austin Academy, which is one of the largest Ballet schools in the United States, will be the show's home away from home. "We are extremely fortunate to have Ballet Austin Academy serve as our 'roadhouse' for the week," says Executive Producer Deirdre Connolly. "To go from a 22 person studio in New York City to a 150 person amphitheater in Austin, will definitely add to the excitement and energy of the show."

Australian-born singer-songwriter, Betty Who, will headline the week as the show's house band. Praised by critics and audiences from across the mainstream and indie spectrums, Betty Who bridges past and future music trends; mixing classic synthpop production with her uniquely modern singing and songwriting voice. Her latest EP, titled "Slow Dancing," will be released on April 8.

"Betty Who is a multigenerational pop goddess," says Andy Cohen. "I am thrilled she's going to provide the soundtrack for a week of unforgettable shows."
