What sets Country Thunder Florida apart is not only its lineup, but its location. For 2026, Country Thunder Florida is bringing its lineup directly to the beach. A rare fusion of coastal escape and large-scale live entertainment, picture arena-level performances with your toes in the sand, turquoise Gulf water just steps from the main stage, palm trees framing the skyline, and sunsets that wash the entire festival in golden light.
Beyond the music, fans are promised all-day action: cowboy hat and apparel vendors, a wide range of food offerings, plus an additional stage spotlighting rising artists from the “Sunshine State” and Songwriter Showcase featuring the writers behind the Main Stage’s biggest smashes. Curated sponsor activations will add another layer of excitement throughout the grounds. With surprise artist meet & greets known to pop up unannounced, fans will want to stay on their toes.
The festival’s 2025 edition drew widespread acclaim, with Country Now praising it for “bringing the heat for an unforgettable weekend,” underscoring the electric atmosphere and fan-forward energy that has become synonymous with the brand.

With an impeccable track record of sellouts in multiple countries and across borders, it has truly taken flight as an incomparable and influential global live music brand for Country music.
