These country superstars will perform at Kansas City area music festival
The stampede is back in the Kansas City area, and few familiar faces will return.
Country Stampede, the annual three-day country music festival, takes place June 26-28 at Azura Amphitheater in Bonner Springs.
The festival, which one ticket-selling site ranked the best festival to attend on a budget, is in Bonner Springs for the second year. It previously moved from Topeka due to rising property taxes, the festival owners said in a Facebook post in August 2023. The festival’s origins trace back to Manhattan, Kansas, in 1996.
Kansas City-based live event marketing and concert production company Kustom Entertainment Inc. also bought the festival in 2024.
Past performers at Country Stampede have included Jason Aldean, Luke Combs. Kenny Chesney, Morgan Wallen, Martina McBride, Reba McEntire, Tim McGraw, Chris Stapleton and Taylor Swift.
Two previous performers are making their way back to the 29th Stampede in 2025, along with local acts and options to camp for the weekend.
