After Wisconsin and a quick break, it’s time for Country Thunder Alberta. This is the fifth stop of the festival franchise, and it’s set from August 16-18, 2024, at The Confluence Historic Site & Parkland in Calgary. 

Opening the three-day fest on Friday is Canada’s very own Dallas Smith, and he’s going to be joined by another fellow Canadian, The Reklaws. They’re a sibling duo of Jenna and Stuart Walker, and they’re the life of every party and stage they’re on. On Saturday, country-rock singer-songwriter HARDY will be taking over as headliner, along with Grammy-nominated American singer-songwriter, musician, and actress Elle King. Sunday, the last day, is bonafide country superstar Luke Combs’s day. He will be performing with the Lubbock-based sextet Flatland Cavalry.
