Jelly Roll and Ashley McBryde are also on the lineup of the May 4 concert in Austin
Mainstream country music singers will once again gather under the iHeartMedia banner when the broadcasting giant stages its annual iHeartCountry Festival this spring in Austin.
Set for May 4 at the Moody Center in the Texas capital, the festival features a lineup of radio mainstays and those on the uptick. Jason Aldean, Brothers Osborne, Riley Green, Walker Hayes, Jelly Roll, Lady A, Ashley McBryde, and Old Dominion are all on the bill. Bobby Bones, iHeartMedia’s country personality and namesake of The Bobby Bones Show, hosts.
The concert airs live on iHeartMedia country stations around the nation at 8 p.m./ET on Saturday, May 4. Tickets for the event go on sale to the general public on Friday, Jan. 26, at 1 p.m./ET via Ticketmaster.
The lineup for the iHeartCountry Festival underscores the genre’s longtime message that country music, infiltrated in recent years by the national culture wars, is one big family. Aldean is a pro-Trump conservative who will join Kid Rock on their Rock the Country Tour of small towns. Brothers Osborne are among Nashville’s leading champions of inclusivity in the genre and its fanbase. Jelly Roll, meanwhile, has become as known for his rousing messages of redemption and love as he has for his hip-hop-influenced style of country music.
