Tailgate N’ Tallboys is more than ready to take over Bloomington Interstate Center in Bloomington, Illinois, this coming June 13-16, 2024. This is the second of their three events, following their newly added Clinton event in Iowa and before the highly anticipated party in Midland, Michigan. 

Leading the four-day music fest is a quartet of the genre’s biggest names and festival staples: one of the most respected figures in country music and Nashville’s renegade Eric Church, the smoky baritone songwriter Cody Johnson, country’s biggest new star Bailey Zimmerman, and award-winning country music artist Riley Green

Zimmerman actually performed in last year’s installment along with Jelly Roll, Nickelback, Lainey Wilson, Kane Brown, Parker McCollum, Hailey Whitters, Bailey Zimmerman, and Mackenzie Carpenter, just to name a few.
