The GoldenSky Country Music Festival is set to return to Sacramento’s Discovery Park on Oct. 9 and 10 in 2027. <\/p>\n

Promoter Danny Wimmer Presents said the lineup for the festival will be revealed on Thursday, Oct. 15 at 10 a.m. <\/p>\n

An SMS subscriber presale for GoldenSky kicks off on Friday, Oct. 16 at 10 a.m. An email subscriber presale begins at 11 a.m. and a public on-sale will kick off at 12 p.m. <\/p>\n

Two-day weekend passes will be available starting at $1 down. <\/p>\n

Organizers previously announced at Visit Sacramento\u2019s State of Tourism event that the country music festival would return to Sacramento in 2027, 2028, and 2029 after a two-year pause.<\/p>\n

GoldenSky, which previously took place in Sacramento for three years, serves as a companion weekend to the popular Aftershock festival. Aftershock’s 2027 dates have not yet been announced. <\/p>\n

In previous years, GoldenSky featured major country music stars, including Tim McGraw, Sam Hunt, Luke Bryan, Thomas Rhett, Keith Urban, and Megan Moroney. <\/p>\n

In February 2025, organizers cited a reason for putting off that year’s festival<\/a> as an oversaturation of country music festivals, creating a challenge in attracting larger country names. Danny Wimmer Presents said that February they would take an additional year to ensure the festival “returns at the right time.” <\/p>\n

The new GoldenSky event, similar to Aftershock, will offer official RV and car-plus-tent camping at Cal Expo. <\/p>\n

The promoter said they will reimagine a River City Dance Hall and Overtime Sports Bar for the event. The dance hall will feature lessons on two-stepping and line dancing. <\/p>\n
