There’s definitely going to be a rush of roaring fun as Country Thunder Bristol takes over Bristol Motor Speedway in Bristol, Tennessee, this coming June 28-29, 2024. The two-day highly-anticipated event, awarded ACM Festival of the Year, will feature headlining sets from a fan-favorite country star Cody Johnson and powerhouse entertainer HARDY

They are accompanied by country music’s biggest new star, Bailey Zimmerman, award-winning, multi-platinum artist Trace Adkins, and a whole diverse array of the genre’s brightest stars, from established icons down to up-and-comers. Whether you’re a fan of traditional country or leaning toward a more contemporary sound, you’ll be able to enjoy the festival. In short, they’ve got everything for everyone. 

Last year, they also had a heavyweight lineup with Eric Church, Brooks & Dunn, and Jelly Roll. And that’s not surprising at all, as Country Thunder has been hosting several concerts in North America since 1993, and they’ve never missed making it the country music event of the year for more than 30 years now.
