Country Thunder announces headline lineup for October 2022 Kissimmee festival

When Country Thunder Florida returns to Osceola Heritage Park in Kissimmee Oct. 21-23, 2022, it will feature an all-star lineup of the biggest-selling artists in country music -- again.

Country Thunder Music Festivals CEO, Troy Vollhoffer announced Thursday morning that Morgan Wallen, who had already been announced this year, will be joined by superstars Jason Aldean and Chris Young for what Vollhoffer called "a 1-2 festival punch like no other ... for the Sunshine State’s hottest fall party of ‘22!"

“Country Thunder Florida has become the country music event in Central Florida and we have these fans to thank,” he said. “We had an amazing festival last fall with Eric Church, Dierks Bentley and Old Dominion. We knew we had to up the ante and deliver the biggest and best artist roster possible. This is the line-up those fans have asked for, and we’re thrilled to give it to them.”

In a world of digital music distribution, Wallen is one of the hottest acts going. With over seven billion on-demand streams, numerous multi-market, multi-platinum certifications and four consecutive chart-toppers, Wallen’s Dangerous: The Double Album, sat atop the Billboard 200 Albums chart for 10 consecutive weeks upon its release. It remained in the top 10 for 33 weeks, plus earned the biggest streaming week for a Country album in music history. It includes another record-breaking achievement with one of Time magazine’s Top 10 Songs of 2020, “7 Summers,” and “Wasted On You” – both debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot Country Songs chart and inside the Billboard Hot 100’s Top 10, along with the 4x platinum Diplo collaboration, “Heartless,” and another platinum chart-topper, “More Than My Hometown.”
 
Aldean, one of the most sought-after headliners in country music today, has been a chart-topping mainstay since releasing his self-titled debut in 2005. Nine best-selling albums (including four No. 1s), 35 top-10 singles, including twenty No. 1s, every industry award imaginable to go along with a brand-new two-part album set, Macon, Georgia. Part one (Macon) came out on November 12 and yielded the No.2 smash, “If I Didn’t Love You” – a stunning duet with Carrie Underwood. Part-two (Georgia) will be released in April 2022.

As for Young, he has achieved a banner 2021. Album Famous Friends has already yielded four hit singles, including the No. 1 title track which was recorded with 2021 Iowa Country Thunder headliner, Kane Brown. It also gave the music world hits "Raised On Country", "Drowning" and Mitchell Tenpenny duet, "At The End Of A Bar."
 
As in past years at OHP, the rest of the Country Thunder lineup will also fully charge the crowd of tens of thousands. Vollhoffer announced that Ashley McBryde, Chase Rice, Granger Smith featuring Earl Dibbles Jr., Clay Walker, Tracy Lawrence, Lindsay Ell, Kameron Marlowe, Laney Wilson, James Barker Band, and many more will fill out and incredibly stacked lineup for the annual country music festival.

Ticket packages are already available, including three-day passes, reserved seating, the Platinum Experience, Rockin’ Range and camping/"glamping" setups. Visit countrythunder.com or order by phone at 1-866-388-0007.
