Country Thunder is rolling into Florida this weekend, bringing the party to the grounds outside Raymond James Stadium for the very first time! This three-day festival is packed with everything you love: food and drink trucks, line dancing lessons, songwriter rounds, a wide variety of vendors, world-class people-watching, some of country music’s biggest stars—and of course, daily themes. Because who doesn’t love a good theme?
Theme Days & Headliners:
Friday, May 2 – Camo Country: Break out the blaze orange, camo hats, and hunting boots as we get ready to party with Riley Green and Ella Langley. (We’re all crossing our fingers for a duet or two!)
Saturday, May 3 – Beach Bash: Hawaiian shirts, sundresses, flip-flops, and sunnies—bring your best beach vibes as we go Beachin’ with Blake Shelton and Florida’s very own beach cowboy, Jake Owen.
Sunday, May 4 – Cowboy Grunge: Western meets rock ’n’ roll. Think rugged denim and edgy style as Jason JELLY ROLL DeFord and Ashley McBryde close out the weekend with a bang.
