While tickets for the event can be pricey, the festival also features a daytime village that’s totally free and we love free fun in Austin.

On the red carpet, the radio and TV personality said, “Years ago, I fought for it (the iHeart Country Festival) to be here and every year the company remains impressed at how great Austin is as a city.” It is a festival unlike any other in the ATX.Īnd we have Bobby Bones to thank for that.

It has also showcased those who were up-and-comers like Lauren Alaina, Parker McCollum, and Carly Pearce. Throughout the years, the evening has included big names like Tim McGraw, Carrie Underwood, Blake Shelton, Luke Bryan, and so many more. Oh, what a night!
