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

If you want to level up your experience, you can get VIP, which is available in three tiers – Select, Choice, and Prime (just like the world-famous Texas beef). A single-day VIP pass starts at $279.99, while the three-day pass begins at $599. There are discounts available for active-duty members, veterans, and first responders through the help of a pay-it-forward $50 Companion Pass Donation. And kids under 10 are free!
