Country

Don't weep for 10KLF. Country reigns supreme in Detroit Lakes

Festival/Artist Mentioned: 

Even though there won't be a big rock festival at the Soo Ranch in Detroit Lakes MN this year, the venue's much larger and longer running country festival continues strong in 2010. Known for its stellar lineups among other attractions, WE Fest surely does not disappoint with as good a list of country stars as you could imagine.

It starts with the previously announced headline trio of Kenny Chesney, Keith Urban and Kid Rock. The rest of the list of national touring acts that will be appearing was announced, and country fans will be delighted: Dierks Bentley, Jason Aldean, Montgomery Gentry, Gloriana, Gretchen Wilson, and Blake Shelton top the list.

WE Fest returns for its 28th year August 5-7 in the northwestern Minnesota community where is has become an important piece of the local economy, especially so after the festival partners decided to cancel the 10,000 Lakes Festival for 2010 and probably future years.

Muddy Roots Festival

May 28 2010 - May 30 2010  •  Cookeville TN  •  June Bug Boogie Ranch


Founded: 2010
Official Website
Category: Roots
Region: Mid South
Type: Camping Festival

"I’ve been saying for years that one of the the things the REAL country movement is lacking is a bona-fide music festival where the music can be promoted, and musicians, podcasters, media, and fans can network. This year’s inaugural Muddy Roots Festival  might hit the nail right on the head. With headliners Billy Joe Shaver and Wayne “The Train” Hancock and a slew of other cool bands, this could very well be that one festival, or become that one festival to light a match under the movement, similar to how Willie Nelson’s “Dripping Springs Reunion” which turned into his annual 4th of July picnics did back in the 70’s."—Description by festival

Hank Jr. returns to Bamajam

Unlike some of the big country festivals that have rolled out their full 2010 lineups, Bamajam Music & Arts Festival—running June 3-6 in Enterprise AL—prefers to name a few biggies at a time.

For its second release of headliners, Bamajam brings back Hank Williams Jr., who starred at the first Bamajam in 2008, and adds glamourous Miranda Lambert, hunky duo LoCash Cowboys and down-home rapper Colt Ford. Already announced were Kenny Chesney at the top of the bill along with Blackberry Smoke and Jake Owen. 

Chesney also headlines a weekend earlier at Bayou Country Superfest, the new event in Baton Rouge that overlaps Bamajam's market. Bayou Country also has Keith Urban and Taylor Swift. With Hank Jr., Bamajam counters with a big draw that is not a regular on the festival circuit. We'll keep watching to see how Bamajam further differentiates itself when it announces its full lineup in the weeks ahead.
