About Country Thunder Wisconsin 2027
Country Thunder Wisconsin 2027 runs Thursday July 15 to Sunday July 18 at 2305 Richmond Road in Twin Lakes, Wisconsin, an hour and a half north of Chicago and an hour south of Milwaukee. The first 20 acts are on the lineup page: Hudson Westbrook on the Thursday kickoff, then Jon Pardi, Zach Top and Thomas Rhett headlining Friday, Saturday and Sunday, with Carly Pearce, ERNEST and Cameron Whitcomb next down the bill. Tickets and camping are on sale now, with camping and reserved seats having opened to the public at 10am on August 7, 2026.
This is a camping festival first and a concert second, and the ticket sheet shows it. Alongside the 19 by 40 foot primitive sites there are big-rig sites with 30 amp power and water, tent-only sites, Crown Camping with 50 amp power and septic service, and glamping tents with real beds, a concierge and a lounge that serves morning coffee. Admission tiers run from lawn-style weekend general admission up through Gold Circle, Reserved Seating and two Platinum levels. Reserved seats and every campsite carry the right to renew the same spot for 2028, so a good pitch tends to stay in the same hands year after year.
July 2026 sets the expectation for the bill. Keith Urban, Riley Green, Gavin Adcock and Shaboozey took the four headline nights, with Nate Smith, Gretchen Wilson, Lonestar, Ian Munsick, Mark Chesnutt, Corey Kent and Dasha spread down the card. It is the mainstream end of the format: a stadium-scale name a night over a mix of 90s hitmakers and current radio.
Expect country, neotraditional country, pop country and folk across 34 acts.
