BONNER SPRINGS (KSNT) – Excitement is building for one of the biggest country music festivals in the Midwest as tickets go on sale and new artists sign up for the Country Stampede.
27 News reached out to the organizers of the Country Stampede to learn more about what people can expect from this year’s event and to answer some common questions. Whether you’re curious about ticket prices, which artists have signed up and where to find camping options, we have you covered.
Where is the Country Stampede happening this year?
At Azura Amphitheater in Bonner Springs. The venue was changed last year due to a tax dispute with Shawnee County. Country Stampede previously called the Manhattan area its home for several years before moving to Topeka for five years.
What are the dates for Country Stampede?
The festival will run for three days starting on Thursday, June 27 to Saturday, June 29.
What artists have signed up?
Currently, only eight artists have been revealed for this year’s festival. These include:
Chris Janson
Billy Currington
Randy Houser
Locash
Jackson Dean
Matt Tholen with the Country Stampede confirms that more artists will be revealed starting the week of March 3. He also said these announcements will include female artists to be added to the currently male-dominated roster.
Where can I buy tickets for the Country Stampede?
Tickets can be purchased online using this link. Currently, there are several different options people can choose from to attend the music festival. Each ticket price featured below does not include additional fees that may be added during the purchasing process. Each ticket option below is good for admission to all three days of the festival.

The Country Stampede announced on social media on Monday, Feb. 26 that single-day ticket options will go on sale for the lawn and party pit on Monday, March 4. Prices are expected to increase for lawn, super fan and upper reserved tickets on this day as well.
“Grab your tickets now before prices go up,” – Country Stampede social media statement excerpt.
Will there be camping options at the Country Stampede?
Tholen said camping options will start to become available for purchase in mid-April after the City of Bonner Springs changes an ordinance regulating camping activities. He said camping will be available on both Azura Amphitheater and AG Hall of Fame property with maps to be released once camping ticket options go on sale.
In a previous announcement on social media from the Country Stampede, it was revealed that organizers for the festival were working with the City of Bonner Springs to approve changes to a standing city ordinance with ticket options for camping to be released once the alterations received approval from the city council. The current city ordinance regulating camping states that the activity is allowed only for 48 hours.
Where can I park?
Tholen said parking for the event will be handled through Azura Amphitheater. The organizers for this year’s festival are still waiting for information from the venue before releasing details to country music fans.
