Country Thunder adds more to line-up

Country Thunder has added more talent to their already impressive line-up, which includes Toby Keith, Clay Walker, Rodney Atkins, Eric Church, Jason Aldean, Martina McBride, Sawyer Brown and many more. The kick-off of the festival only has about two months to go, launching April 7 in Florence, Arizona.

The newest addition to Thursday’s line-up is Georgia-native, Craig Campbell. His debut single “Family Man,” from his self-titled debut album, is currently rising up the Billboard charts. As for Saturday, the new talent to the line-up are the stars known as Little Big Town. This country quartet has received three Grammy nominations, as well as several ACM and CMA nominations.

Sunday, the last day of the festival, welcomes Eden’s Edge – who were named one of Billboard’s “Artists to Watch in 2011,” and Sara Evans. Evans has received many number one hits, as well as an ACM award for “Top Female Vocalist,” and a CMA award for “Video of the Year.”

The festival will take place April 7-10 at Canyon Moon Ranch, with camping available at an additional fee. A full 4-day general admission pass is currently available through March 5 for the price of $140. Starting March 6, the price will be raised to $160. Day tickets are also currently on sale, as well as VIP and sponsorship packages, with added perks including hospitality tents, preferred parking and premium concert seating.
