Country Fest, the genre’s largest party in a hayfield and the heart and soul of country music fun, is slated for another run from June 27-29, 2024, at Central Wisconsin Amphitheatre in Cadott, Wisconsin. The three-day event, which started in 1970, is the largest country music and camping event in the US and has since become a summer staple for the genre’s fans. 

In this year’s edition, fans will experience yet another boot-pumpin’ kickoff party with country music band Sawyer Brown. They’re joined by country pop group SLAMABAMA and Minnesota cover band Six to Midnight.

In the last three years, they’ve featured Kane Brown, Dierks Bentley, Thomas Rhett, Jason Aldean, Florida Georgia Line, Lee Brice, Zac Brown Band, Jon Pardi, and Dan + Shay on their stage. In 2024, they invited Jake Owen, Keith Urban, and Eric Church for another epic round.

Country Fest 2024 Tickets, Festival Essentials & Insider Tips

Since 1970, Country Fest has offered the best lineups, so it isn’t surprising that tickets are almost sold out. So, move fast. They still have General Admission tickets, both single-day entry ($95) and a 3-day pass ($159). As for camping passes, there’s only one area available: Back Forty Right ($130) with 55 seats left. 

If you’ve already secured both, make sure you also have the following: a Campground Access Pass ($35) if you’re staying in the venue, a Shuttle Pass if you’re staying at a hotel or anywhere nearby ($30 for all 3 days, $55 for single-day early or late arrivals), and Car Parking ($15/day and $35 for 3 days). To make the experience even better, you can also add on a Pit Pass sold per artist ($5-$40) for a closer look. 

Only clear bags are allowed at the festival, except for small purses measuring 5” by 7” (which are still subject to search). Water bottles can be brought inside as long as they’re empty. There are free water stations scattered around the concert ground and the campground, where you can fill them after entering. 

Outside food, beverages, and pets (except service animals) are not allowed inside the concert venue, but they are permitted in the campground. Just make sure your pets are leashed.

If you need anything, you can check out their convenience stores located at the North and South campgrounds. Showers are also free, but do note that there could be a long line, and hot water is limited.
