Today, Country Thunder — the largest Country music festival brand in North America — proudly announces a new partnership with Hurricane Help Florida (HHF) for Country Thunder Florida 2026, taking place May 8–10 at Coachman Park in Clearwater. Headlined by Country superstars Zach Top, Gavin Adcock, and Kane Brown, Country Thunder Florida now allows festival-goers to directly support communities across the state as they prepare for, respond to, and recover from disastrous storms.

As part of the Country Thunder Florida initiative, fans now have access to a special 10% off ticket offer, with 10% of those proceeds going to HHF. Go here to purchase tickets now, and use the code HELPFL at checkout. Founded in 2024 with a mission of restoring hope before, during, and after hurricanes, HHF delivers preparedness resources, supports rescue coordination during emergencies, and provides long-term rebuilding assistance to help families return to safe and stable living conditions — ensuring that no one is left to navigate disaster alone.

In another can’t-miss opportunity for fans, Country Thunder will host an online auction for an exclusive Country Thunder Florida guitar signed by artists from the 2026 lineup, with every dollar raised supporting HHF. Go here for more info about the auction.

Throughout Country Thunder Florida — whose must-see lineup also includes Randy Houser, Max McNown, Shaboozey, Dasha, and many more — HHF will be on-site to connect with attendees and share more about its work across the disaster response cycle. Over the course of the three-day festival, the organization will also spotlight local families who experienced major upheaval during recent hurricanes and who rebuilt with HHF’s support, giving fans a chance to engage with firsthand stories of strength and recovery. In a region where resilience is a way of life, the festival aims to channel the spirit of Country music into something tangible: connection, compassion, and collective action when it matters most.

Designed to be accessible for fans, Country Thunder Florida offers weekend passes averaging just $100 per day when purchased at participating Walgreens locations to avoid service fees. Quantities are limited; go here for more information now. General admission tickets are $300 total for all three days, with a bundle of two single-day tickets available for $250. Tickets are available to purchase now.

ABOUT TROY VOLLHOFFER:
Between running the world’s preeminent Country music festival brand, hosting a popular podcast, and giving back at every turn as a philanthropist, Country Thunder President and C.E.O. Troy Vollhoffer has quietly distinguished himself as a music industry renaissance man. Raised in Regina, Saskatchewan, he went from working in his father’s local theater to spending more than a decade playing minor and junior professional hockey before using a Pittsburgh Penguins signing bonus to launch Premier Global Production, which supported major tours for Rod Stewart, Def Leppard, Metallica and more. In 2005, he took ownership of the longest-running music festival event in North America, leading it as the Craven Country Jamboree for twelve years before bringing it into the Country Thunder family in 2017. During that time, he expanded the brand by acquiring Country Thunder Arizona and Wisconsin in 2009 and launching Country Thunder Alberta in 2016 and Country Thunder Florida in 2019. His leadership has earned multiple ACM “Festival of the Year” honors, prestigious awards from the ACM and CCMA, and recognition on Billboard’s “Touring Power Players” list. A dedicated philanthropist and host of “On the Bus with Troy Vollhoffer,” he continues to shape the future of live music with the same passion that launched his career.
