Jelly Roll, Nate Smith, and Tyler Hubbard will headline the party of the summer.
Dauphin's Countryfest is set to be an epic weekend next summer. Add in Brett Kissel, Cameron Whitcomb, the Hunter Brothers, and Owen Riegling, to name a few, and it's going to be a weekend to remember.
Members of Countryfest have been purchasing their tickets, and Duane McMaster with Countryfest reports that general admission tickets are selling very well, while VIP tickets are about two-thirds sold.
He says the reaction from the public has been overwhelming.
The Countryfest office stayed open late earlier this week to accommodate all those members wanting to lock in their tickets.
"We've had a lot of new members who were willing to join so they could get access to tickets early," said McMaster. "There is a lot of buzz out there that we will sell out, and we would love that."
If you aren't a Countryfest member, your wait to get tickets ends very soon. On Thursday morning at 9:00, tickets go on sale to the general public.
You can purchase them at Countryfest, call 1-800-361-7300, or even as McMaster says, you can purchase them in person at 28 - 2nd Avenue NE in Dauphin.
"We're expecting tickets to move very fast. All indications that we've had with Jelly Roll, he sells out shows all across North America," continued McMaster. "We have a really solid lineup with our headliners, second to closers, and supporting acts as well."
Ticket options include a four-day general admission weekend pass for $309 plus fees and taxes, a four-day VIP bar weekend pass for $529 plus taxes and fees, a four-day VIP bar seated weekend pass for $599 plus taxes and fees, and a four-day VIP deluxe weekend pass for $829 plus taxes and fees.
There's also camping passes available.
Many country music lovers in Dauphin and the area are saying this is the best lineup in years.
For McMaster, it's a proud moment for him and the entire crew behind the scenes that they were able to secure such a great lineup.
"We're thrilled. We all put so much time and energy into this; we have a programming committee that works with Rob, our promoter," ended McMaster. "It's incredible to see this lineup come together. We're all excited about the possibilities that this lineup has brought to us. The positive feeling that everyone has towards Countryfest right now makes us feel like it's all worthwhile."
Countryfest 2026 goes down June 25 to 28.
