Country Thunder — the largest Country music festival brand in North America — will excitedly welcome its “One Millionth Fan” with open arms at the upcoming four-day Country Thunder Wisconsin on July 17-20 at Shadow Hill Ranch in Twin Lakes, WI.
Nearly three decades ago, the fest initially launched in Wisconsin. Over the ensuing years, it has thrived as the epicenter of live Country music in the Midwest, hosting a slew of icons and entertaining almost ONE MILLION attendees since 1996. This year, the festival will reach the “One Millionth Fan” milestone. That extremely lucky individual will receive a once-in-a-lifetime prize package valued at over $35,000, including First Row Reserved Seats and Camping FOR LIFE, unprecedented access to Festival Catering and Artist Hospitality, a “Golden Laminate,” exclusive Country Thunder Wisconsin merchandise, and a fully loaded gift bundle stacked with surprises from various sponsors, including Crown Royal, Miller/Coors, Tito’s, DIXXON Flannels, Legendary Whitetails, and Thorogood Workwear. Of course, every ticket offers an opportunity to win.

This festival memory was chronicled by Billboard, American Songwriter, HitsDailyDouble, Country Now, and more. Plus, the show garnered widespread acclaim. Tampa Bay Times named it among the “Top Things To Do In Tampa Bay This Week.” WFLA NBC 8 described it as “Don’t Miss,” while Holler proclaimed, “Country Thunder Florida is back and bigger than ever for 2025.”
