Country Thunder Music Festival 2025

Sunset over the Sonoran desert, the sound of guitar, and thousands of country music fans singing along. Welcome to the Country Thunder Music Festival!

Country Thunder Arizona is one of the top country music festivals in the U.S. It has brought fans together in Florence, Arizona, for an unforgettable experience since the 1990s. Part of the larger Country Thunder festival series, which also hosts events in Alberta, Wisconsin, Saskatchewan, and Florida, the Arizona edition has become a must-attend event for country music lovers.

Beyond the concerts, fans enjoy line dancing, themed parties, mechanical bull rides, and corn-hole tournaments at the festival grounds. Many attendees camp on-site, and the festival turns into a nonstop country party that lasts all weekend!

The 2025 Country Thunder Arizona Music Festival lasts from April 10 to 13!

What to Expect When Attending the Country Thunder Music Festival 2025

Expect four days of nonstop country music, good vibes, and an unforgettable festival experience. The lineup features a mix of top-charting headliners, rising stars, and local talent, so there's always a great performance happening. The main stage is the festival's heart, which draws thousands of cowboy boot-clad fans ready to sing along, dance, and soak up the crowd's energy.

Some of the 2025 headliners are Riley Green, Keith Urban, HARDY, and Bailey Zimmerman. Other notable performers include Tucker Wetmore, Justin Moore, Ashley McBryde, and Jake Owen. Check the full lineup here.

Expect to see a sea of cowboy hats, denim, and festival-goers tailgating at their campsites, where the party never really stops.
