Top 100 Country Festivals 2022

Country festivals are a mix of Americana roots, cowboy hats, and the best artists in the game. From the boho-chic Stagecoach Festival to the idyllic Watershed Festival, these are the festivals you can’t miss.

Here’s your ultimate chart of the best country festivals in 2022.

AMERICANAFEST

USA, Tennessee

Similar to Amsterdam’s ADE, AMERICANAFEST goes beyond music acts and has an educational appeal. While hundreds of jazz, blues, and country performances spread over Nashville’s most iconic venues, the festival keeps attendees entertained with industry panels.

Stagecoach Festival

USA, California

Known as Coachella’s sister fest, Stagecoach is the granddaddy of country festivals. Since its inception, the Cali music event has morphed into one of the world’s best country festivals. And that’s a well-deserved status since Stagecoach creates a seamless lineup that attracts music fans of all ages.

The Long Road Festival

South UK

Dominated by cowboy hats and fringed jackets, The Long Road Festival is the UK’s way of celebrating Americana. The three-day event is equipped with five stages, over 60 artists, and a country-only lineup to create the British version of the American Dream.

Away from the cozy stages, The Long Road Festival hosts classic car shows, well-being workshops, and artisan crafts.

Hardly Strictly Bluegrass

USA, San Francisco

Embrace the thrilling sounds of upcoming artists and budding talents by heading to San Francisco’s Hardly Strictly Bluegrass Festival, an epic celebration of rock, blues, and country. Wave goodbye to commercial beats, costly tickets, and entrance fees; this music event is free for everyone.

The Californian festival enthralls over half a million music aficionados with its comprehensive entertainment program.

Faster Horses Festival

USA, NYC

Billed as Brooklyn’s #partyofthesummer, Faster Horses Festival is characterized by two things: wild camping and stacked country star lineups. Tens of thousands of revelers put on their Western hats and American flag-printed T-shirts to witness their favorite bands perform live.

Larry Joe Taylor’s Texas Music Festival

USA, Texas

Since nobody does country festivals like Texas, Larry Joe Taylor’s Music Festivals is the epitome of American culture. The event is one of US’ oldest, biggest, and most influential fests dedicated to the genre – hence its impressive attendance.

From camping to singing around campfires, the six-day festival is a country music fans’ bucket list item.

TidalWave Music Festival

USA, New Jersey

Not many festivals combine beach culture with US’ beloved music genre – but TidalWave is one of them. Every year, the three-day fest roars up Atlantic City’s shores with blue-blooded country artists – from Jason Aldean to Thomas Rhett.

Born & Raised Festival

USA, Oklahoma

Thousands of music fans set their tents at the Born & Raised Festival for its constant commitment to being bigger and bolder every year. Despite its recent launch, the country festival has shown no signs of abating from its mission – to bring in an eclectic mix of upcoming artists and established names.

Gympie Music Muster

East Australia

Forget everything you know about traditional music festivals because Gympie Music Muster is not one of them. Spanning four days, the Australian festival celebrates the country’s talent with over 100 artists and six venues.

Watershed Festival

USA, Washington

Produced by Live Nation and surrounded by George Amphitheatre’s idyllic surroundings, Watershed Festival is a three-day country music extravaganza. With plenty of camping space and eye-popping views, it’s not hard to see why the music festival is a sought-after event.
