Y’all are gonna wanna pull out your Tecovas for this one.

Raymond James Stadium will host a boot stompin’, three-day country music festival next May. Leaders announced the news on social media, branding Ray Jay as “Tampa Bay’s home of country music in 2025.”

Wait, you can’t buy tickets yet. The festival’s name, lineup, and brand have not yet been announced. Organizers say to watch out for an announcement soon.

“Fans will need to brace themselves for a superstar lineup when one of North America’s most beloved music festival brands makes Tampa its new home,” the social media post reads.

But that doesn’t mean we can’t speculate in the meantime. What artists would you like to see headline? Drop your guesses.
