Country Thunder 2023 will begin at Canyon Moon Ranch, Florence, Arizona. The four-day event will run from April 13 to 16, 2023, with headliners that appeared to be country favorites: Dierks Bentley, Jon Pardi, Cody Johnson, and Luke Bryan. Joining the fabulous four will be Ashley McBryde, Parker McCollum, and the favorite country music group Lonestar, among others.

Country Thunder’s Saskatchewan leg will then follow on July 13 to 16, 2023 – with headliners composed of huge country names, such as Keith Urban, Tim McGraw, and Jon Pardi, at Craven Country Jamboree Festival Site, Craven.

The country heavyweights will also be headlining the Country Thunder Alberta, which will be making its return to Fort Calgary, Alberta, from August 18 to 20, 2023. Genre’s fastest-rising star, Bailey Zimmerman, will also be joining the trio, along with several of the familiar faces in country music – this includes Carly Pearce and the beloved country trio Midland.

Meanwhile, Country Thunder Wisconsin will be bringing a set of country stars to the picturesque setting of Twin Lakes from July 20 to 23, 2013. In addition to soaking up the tranquil surroundings, you will also get to enjoy the perfect soundtrack from Jason Aldean, Urban, Johnson, and Pardi.

Country Thunder Bristol, on the other hand, is making its comeback to Bristol Motor Speedway, Tennessee, from October 6 to 7, 2023. Country superstars Eric Church and Brooks & Dunn will lead the lineup.

Lastly, there’s Country Thunder Florida, which will be held at Osceola Heritage Park, Kissimmee, from October 20 to 22, 2023. The star-studded headliners include Urban, Johnson, and HARDY.

Indeed, it’s going to be a weekend packed with performers well worth checking out, from seasoned artists to up-and-coming country singers who, for all we know, will be conquering the genre in a couple of years to come. Unfortunately, Country Thunder’s Iowa leg has officially been canceled after it failed to prove to be popular enough to guarantee its continuation.
