Tailgate N’ Tallboys will take over Riverfront Event Center, Clinton, Iowa, from June 6 to 8, 2024. The Clinton venue is one of the newest additions to the festival roster. It had an impressively successful inaugural run last year, with featured performances from Jake Owen, Tim McGraw, Jelly Roll, Chase Rice, Gabby Barrett, Mitchell Tenpenny, Jackson Dean, Jo Dee Messina, Cooper Alan, Alexandra Kay, Warren Zeiders, and Chase Matthew.

This year, they’re delivering another set of top-tier artists. Country music superstar Jelly Roll is making a comeback as headliner, and he’ll be joined by fellow superstar Bailey Zimmerman, a seasoned veteran of the music fest, having appeared on their 2023 Auburn and Rockingham events, and last but not least, rock band Shinedown.
