Kicker Country Stampede Turns 19
Kicker Country Stampede is June 26-29. This annual event has consistently drawn Country Music’s hottest stars to the Stampede stage – entertaining fans and kicking off summer – Manhattan style! Stampede has made history this year by officially selling out of camping for the first time in the 19year history of the festival. Festival organizers are currently surveying the grounds, in anticipation of additional campsites becoming available. To be placed on the waiting list for camping, please sign up here.
"What a milestone! We want to thank the fans for their continued support throughout the years!" said Wayne Rouse, general manager of Kicker Country Stampede. "For the first time, the demand for camping has exceeded the supply! However, we want as many fans to have the opportunity to experience Stampede as possible, so we are looking into ways to accommodate even more folks in future years."

Party Pit Passes Kicker Country Stampede is giving ticket holders a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to see their favorite country stars, including Luke Bryan, Eric Church, Chris Young, Easton Corbin, Randy Houser and more, up close and personal with the newly-added Party Pit. The Party Pit is located directly in front of the main stage, putting fans steps away from their favorite artists during their performances.
