Country Thunder Wisconsin Boasts Big Names Like Riley Green, Keith Urban & The Red Clay Strays For Premiere July Festival

Riley Green
Country Thunder

The biggest names in country music – and the best fans – will soon descend on the Shadow Hill Ranch for Country Thunder Wisconsin.

The music festival that’s been called the crown jewel of country music in the Midwest has had legends and modern-day icons like Morgan Wallen, Luke Combs, Chris Stapleton and the late, great Toby Keith grace its stage. Other heavy hitters like Miranda Lambert, Dierks Bentley, Tim McGraw and Brad Paisley have also played Country Thunder Wisconsin in the past.

And some more country superstars will be adding their name to that already impressive alumni list next month.

North America’s largest country music festival brand has something exciting in store for Twin Lakes, Wisconsin when Country Thunder comes to town July 16 through July 19. The event has been likened to “summer camp for country fans” in the past, and the headliners and supporting acts for the festival this year are definitely worthy of being called a treat of a retreat.

Gavin Adcock, The Red Clay Strays, Riley Green and Keith Urban will all headline the four-day event. And the supporting acts are just as strong. Gretchen Wilson, Ian Munsick, Nate Smith, Shaboozey, Mark Chesnutt, George Birge and Corey Kent (along with plenty of other talented artists) will also take the stage at the Shadow Hill Ranch.

Simply put, it’s a country music experience that fans don’t want to miss. It’s also an event that has plenty of lodging options, including a multitude of packages that include Tent Camping, Crown Camping, and Glamping. That’s just scratching the surface, as far as renowned camping options go. Did I mention that attendees can rent their very own, private port-a-potties for their campsites?

If you’ve never been to a festival before… that’s a gamechanger.

And we’d be remiss not to mention the Buckin’ Thunder Pro Bull Riding that’s been added to the festival’s festivities. Country Thunder teamed up with Big Hat Rodeo to bring three days (Friday through Sunday) of professional bull riding to the Shadow Hill Ranch. In other words, Country Thunder Wisconsin is your one-stop-shop for country music and show stopping, sanctioned bull riding.

It’s really no surprise that the Country Thunder brand continues to deliver on all fronts, considering it’s become the premiere festival producer both in the United States and across the world. Their track record speaks for itself, and their strong history of sold out festivals shows that there’s not much that compares when it comes to being the top-tier, global live music brand for country music.

Since 1996, Country Thunder has set the tone for country music and culture coming together at festivals. It’ll continue to do so when July 16-19 rolls around at the Shadow Hill Ranch. 

Country Thunder Wisconsin is the biggest country music party in the Midwest, and you are going to want to be there to take in all that the festival has to offer. And there’s great news! Country Thunder Wisconsin has partnered with Walgreens and Menards to score some deals for fans. If you are interested in attending the event, you can save up to $75 by purchasing weekend and single day general admission tickets at participating Walgreens and Menards locations.
