Fans have loved the country acts at the iHeartRadio Music Festival. Country music has been so popular that it is now getting its own show.
It’s about time country got its own festival from iHeartRadio. That’s exactly what Clear Channel Media and Entertainment announced on Wednesday. Country’s biggest stars will all join together and hit the stage on March 29 at the Frank Erwin Center in Austin, Texas.
The lineup is going to be a must-see for any fan with musicians such as Luke Bryan, Lady Antebellum, Hunter Hayes, Florida Georgia Line and Carrie Underwood set to headline the show. Even more artists are expected to be announced at a later date. Country music personality Bobby Bones will be hosting the event.
