Country Thunder is coming to Tampa

The lineup is one to beat, featuring Jelly Roll, Blake Shelton, and Riley Green.

You better be ready to rock.

We’ve been waiting for this one. No really.

Earlier this fall, we shared that one of the US’s biggest country festivals was coming to Tampa. And now we have our answer: Country Thunder.

The Kissimmee-based event outgrew its current home, and is making the move to Raymond James Stadium come Friday, May 2 to Sunday, May 4.

Now, for the beef. Who’s playing?

The main headliners are Jelly Roll, Riley Green, and Blake Shelton.

Rounding out the rest of the weekend are:

  • Ella Langley
  • Jake Owen
  • Ashley McByrde
  • Dillon Carmichael
  • Chayce Beckham
  • Clint Black
  • Owen Riegling
  • Abby Anderson
  • Baker Blankenship
  • Drew Baldridge
  • The Kentucky Headhunters
  • Dallas Smith
  • Angie K
  • Nolan Sotillo

What’s more, the festival is hosting a giveaway to win two general admission tickets. All you have to do is follow the festival’s pages and tag a friend you’ll go to the show with on this Instagram post.

All that’s left is to snag tickets (on sale now), and give our our festival preview playlist a peruse.
