2021 Country Music Festivals
Country festivals are back! Well, sort of. After more than a year without live music, we’re finally starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel in the United States as the vaccination rate continues to rise. While some artists have postponed their tours to 2022, many are dusting off their gear, firing up their tour busses, and finally hitting the road again.
Sadly, the pandemic shuttered the doors of many venues and country festivals around the world for good, so some of your favorites may not be returning.
If you’re ready get back out there and attend a country festival or concert, we’ve compiled a list of country festivals that are expected to take place this summer and those that have been postponed until 2022. Be sure to keep checking back for updates.
Remember to review the Covid-19 guidelines for each event as they are all different.
This goes without saying, heath and safety are our biggest concerns and we support your decision to attend or not attend live concerts and events. We are not encouraging you to attend any concert or festival if you do not feel comfortable — we are simply providing some helpful information if you’re interested in attending a show.
