The festival, which also includes native Dean Brody among the first round of performers announced, began this year, with Carrie Underwood, Tim McGraw, Kid Rock and Alabama included in the lineup. While the 2012 festival featured plenty of mud and stormy weather, concertgoers were undeterred. More than 40,000 country music fans attended the water-logged event.
More artists are expected to be announced shortly. Tickets for the three-day event begin at $199 in Canadian dollars. Camping packages, as well as single-day tickets, are also available. Find more information here.
