Hosting iconic events since 1871, Royal Albert Hall, along with Live Nation, proudly presents Highways Festival, a British country music festival, on May 17-18, 2024. It’s the event’s sophomore year, and with last year’s line-up of Kip Moore, Morgan Wade, Jackson Dean, and Stephen Wilson Jr., everyone’s anticipation is high, and they’re excited to catch it again this time. In fact, the event was so warmly welcomed the first time that it got extended to two days from one. 

Top-billing this year are The Cadillac Three and Brett Young. And they’re joined by Shane Smith & The Saints, Tanner Usrey, BOWEN * YOUNG, The War and Treaty, Josh Ross, and William Prince. The show is hosted by Baylen Leonard from Absolute Radio Country, featuring Rattlesnake Johnny as DJ.
