COUNTRY THUNDER SET TO BE PARTY OF THE YEAR
Country Thunder Music Festival is back with a bang in Arizona, featuring top artists like Jelly Roll, Lainey Wilson, Eric Church, Koe Wetzel, and more!
Scheduled for Aril 11th to the 14th, 2024, this epic event is set to be the party of the year, featuring top artists like Jelly Roll, Lainey Wilson, Eric Church, Koe Wetzel, and many more. “Arizona has some of the most passionate country fans in the world, and we wanted to bring them a weekend they’ll never forget with some of the most talented performers we’ve ever had on our stage,” says Country Thunder Music Festival’s CEO, Troy Vollhoffer.
Leading the pack is Inked-favorite Jelly Roll, who offers a unique blend of rap, rock, country, and soul. With a remarkable career that has seen him top various iTunes charts, take home the 2023 CMA for New Artist of the Year, and amass over 2 billion views on YouTube (our video with the star racked up almost half a million views alone), Jelly Roll is a force to be reckoned with. Having grown up in Antioch, Tennessee, a working-class community just south of Nashville, Jelly Roll knows a thing or two about life and seamlessly weaves those lessons into his art. He pairs deeply personal lyrics with music that blends old-school rap, classic rock, country, and soul to create therapeutic, raw music that tackles life’s heaviness. In a concert review for Variety, author Holly Gleason writes: “For everyone who’s facing the same struggles, Jelly Roll is their Springsteen. A better singer than you could imagine, he takes the mantle of what some would call poor white trash, then tells their stories, offering salvation they can actually attain and says, most profoundly, perhaps, that your busted way of living is OK.” When you’re in a Jelly Roll audience, you get more than just the performance of a lifetime – you get inspirational words from an inspirational man during an unforgettable experience.
Multi-award-winning singer-songwriter and actress, Lainey Wilson is also set to bring the heat to Arizona. With a string of accolades to her name, including the 2023 ACM Female Vocalist of the Year and Album of the Year, she is for sure an artist to watch. Wilson’s latest album, “Bell Bottom Country,” has been an award magnet, winning Best Country Album at the 2024 Grammys. Don’t miss out!
Joining Wilson is the legendary Eric Church, a seven-time ACM Award winner, four-time CMA Award winner, and 10-time GRAMMY nominee. With a passionate global fanbase known as the Church Choir, Church is sure to deliver a performance that will have the crowd singing along to every word of his chart-topping hits.
Last but certainly not least, Koe Wetzel will bring his country rockstar persona to the stage, promising to shatter expectations and astonish the crowd. With a sound steeped in country storytelling and spiked with grunge grit, Wetzel is unlike anyone else in the industry.
But the lineup doesn’t stop there. Country Thunder Arizona will also welcome Flatland Cavalry, Warren Zeiders, Randy Houser, Priscilla Block, and many more. With four-day passes and various VIP experiences available, this is one event country music fans won’t want to miss.
For all of you die-hard fans who just want to chill out and listen to the music, treat yourself to all the creature comforts with a Platinum Experience! Have an experience away from the general hustle and bustle of a festival, with all of the premium amenities like a designated viewing area, complimentary appetizers, dedicated entrance and parking, and more.
