Country Thunder Florida is returning to Tampa Bay in 2026. For the first time, the party is happening on the beach.
The TradeWinds Resort on St. Pete Beach will host the country music festival May 8, 9 and 10. Zach Top, Gavin Adcock and Kane Brown will headline the festival.
Additional artists include Randy Houser, Max McNown, Shaboozey, Dasha, Gretchen Wilson, Braxton Keith, Elizabeth Nichols, Solon Holt and Jay Webb.
Country Thunder Florida will feature cowboy hat and apparel vendors, meet-and-greets with artists, carnival rides and a stage to spotlight rising local artists. A Songwriting Showcase will highlight songwriters who wrote the hits played on the main stage, according to a release from the festival.
The festivities will be spread on the 40-acre property of the TradeWinds, which will offer discounted rooms for festivalgoers.
Country Thunder festivals take place in several locations, including Arizona, Wisconsin, Alberta and Saskatchewan. Previous Florida headliners have included Luke Combs, Morgan Wallen, Toby Keith, Luke Bryan, Dierks Bentley, Eric Church, Jason Aldean and Keith Urban. In May, Country Thunder Florida took place at Raymond James Stadium. The October 2024 festival was supposed to occur at Osceola Heritage Park, but was canceled due to Hurricane Milton.
Tickets start at $355 for a general admission pass to all three days. Upgrades including VIP tables and restrooms are available.
