On June 12-15, 2024, The Country Fest is hosting its 12th round of blockbuster performances from the best of the best in the genre at Clay’s Resort Jelly Stone Park in North Lawrence, Ohio. And it’s more than a decade-long operation, it has grown to become one of the largest privately owned (100% family-owned) festivals in the country.

And it’s not surprising, considering they always pull in the best of the best the genre has to offer. For this year’s three-day music fest, leading the cherry-picked headliner quartet is arena-packing superstar Thomas Rhett, who’ll perform for the last-day crowd. Not only that but Rhett Akins, Thomas Rhett’s father, is also part of the lineup. And fans are wishing that they’d share a stage.

Rhett’s joined by Platinum-selling entertainer Chris Janson, who’ll kick off the festivities, multi-awarded singer-songwriter Lainey Wilson, and the smoky baritone Cody Johnson.

In the previous year, fans enjoyed performances from Kane Brown, Jon Pardi, and Sam Hunt. 

The festivities will commence with an RT Hampton Wednesday Night Kickoff Party, and you should definitely be there.
