The Lone Star State definitely just got bigger with the landing of its newest independently organized Americana festival, Big As Texas, on May 10-12, 2024, at the Montgomery County Fairgrounds in Conroe. And it’s serving a sizzling hot roster every single day that will indulge the music cravings of its more than 50,000 attendees. 

The three-day music fest features more than 35 acts, the biggest lineup outside of CMA Fest, anchored by the headlining trio of Thomas Rhett, Dierks Bentley, and Billy Strings, with highly-anticipated performances by Clay Walker, Corey Kent, Dwight Yoakam, Warren Zeiders, Midland, and Morgan Wade. Up-and-rising names, as well as local stars, will also be hitting the stage. 

And to make it an experience for the books for all country music fans, there’s also a whole bunch of activities like hat-making, live mural art, chainsaw wood carving, and pig and barrel racing. And, of course, food trucks to taste the flavors of Texas
